(1) · Cloud-based team messaging platform with channels, threads, and integrations. Free tier limits message history to 90 days and caps integrations at 10. (1) · Self-hostable, MIT-licensed team chat closely modeled on Slack's channel-based UX -- includes a Slack export/import path to ease migration.

None (1) · Fewer native integrations than Slack out of the box -- most third-party connections go through incoming/outgoing webhooks rather than a marketplace, so budget some setup time. Good fit for teams that want a near drop-in Slack replacement and value Go-based, ops-friendly self-hosting. (1) · Guest access available on paid plans for external collaborators. Slack Connect allows cross-organization channels with other Slack workspaces. (1) · Zero-access encryption means Proton cannot read message content or hand it over even under legal request -- worth flagging for teams handling sensitive organizing communications. No self-hosting option; mail is hosted on Proton's own infrastructure in Switzerland. (1)
