Tangential but I used Threads at a previous company and really liked it. I don't know how anyone could get a company that's already built around Slack to switch, but if you are starting fresh I think Threads offered a much nicer experience for async comms and especially for long discussions of consequence. Highly recommend giving it a shot!


$10/user/mo sounds expensive. And the free option looks so tiny it's a non starter. I think both Slack and Threads should be a little more generous with their free packages. Maybe like 5 users and unlimited history or self hosted but no support.


Perhaps for the individual, but for enterprise contracts, that's pretty cheap. Slack charges $12.50 per user-month so this handily undercuts it.


Mind sharing what was better? tia


It was better at two things:

1. not interrupting me with pings all day but helping me to catch up on messages in batches

2. Much better format for long conversations, proposals, and discussions
