'''Not recommended.''' Cloud-based team messaging platform with channels,
threads, and integrations. Free tier limits message history to 90 days and caps
integrations at 10. Included here for comparison against [[Mattermost]] and
[[Rocket.Chat]], the two self-hosted alternatives we do recommend. (1) ·
Free tip-jar platform with the lowest baseline fees of the group -- 0% on
simple one-time tips -- plus optional shop/membership features. No nonprofit registration or
business entity is required to sign up. (1) ·
Low-friction tip jar and membership platform for one-off support or recurring
monthly patronage. No nonprofit registration or business entity is required to sign up. (1) ·
MIT-licensed, self-hostable team chat with channels, voice/video, and broad
integration support. Its omnichannel inbox unifies live chat, email, WhatsApp, and
Telegram into one agent queue -- useful if you also want to replace a separate
customer-support tool, not just internal chat. (1) ·
Nonprofit-oriented crowdfunding platform charging no platform fee, explicitly
open to individuals, social enterprises, and unregistered community groups, not just
registered charities. Scale (per Chuffed's own reporting): 50,000+ organizers, 2.5M+
supporters, $275M+ raised to date. (1) ·
Self-hostable, MIT-licensed team chat closely modeled on Slack's channel-based
UX -- includes a Slack export/import path to ease migration. Free self-hosted tier
runs indefinitely with no per-seat licensing cost; paid tiers add SSO, compliance
exports, and HIPAA/FedRAMP-aligned deployment options. (1) ·
Subscription-based membership platform for ongoing monthly support -- better
suited to sustained operational funding than one-off campaigns. No nonprofit registration or
business entity is required to sign up; the org registers and operates like an individual
creator account. (1) ·
Zero-fee fundraising, ticketing, and membership platform for nonprofits. Scale
(per Zeffy's own reporting): 100,000+ nonprofits, $2B+ raised to date. (1)
None (6) ·
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) ·
Has the most GitHub momentum of the self-hosted Slack alternatives
(~45k stars). The free Community edition covers most day-to-day needs; exceeding
Starter-plan limits blocks adding new users but does not lock you out of existing
data. (1) ·
Registration: no nonprofit status or business registration required -- sign up
and start collecting tips/memberships as an individual or org account. (1) ·
Registration: no nonprofit status or business registration required to sign up. (1)
