Headcount drives the bill
The more people need access, the more the monthly cost rises, even if many users are lightweight readers.

Fixed-price Slack alternative
Your company chat at a fixed price
Channels, direct messages, calls, and SSO for one workspace price—instead of a new license for every employee.
Pricing
A fixed workspace price instead of a separate paid seat for every employee.
Product
Channels, direct messages, audio and video calls, and screen sharing.
Infrastructure
Hosted on IONOS Cloud in Europe.
Best fit
Companies whose main requirement is reliable internal chat.
When every user adds to the bill
Slack’s per-user pricing is straightforward, but it makes the bill grow with the team.
For companies that mainly need channels, direct messages, and calls, routine access can become a recurring budget decision.
Simple chat gets wrapped in platform pricing
If your real need is company chat, you may be paying for a broader platform than you actually need.
Security and admin features can push you upward
SSO, domain restrictions, and user management should not feel like premium exceptions.

HansaChat is a working company workspace with channels, direct messages, threads, files, and calls—not a pricing concept without a product behind it.
Questions teams ask before switching from Slack
Companies that mainly want internal chat with predictable pricing. If your main need is day-to-day company communication, the fixed-price model is often easier to justify than per-user seat pricing.
Teams that depend heavily on Slack’s broad integration ecosystem and want a larger all-in-one collaboration platform may still be better served there. HansaChat is the stronger fit when company chat is the main job and fixed pricing matters.
No. That is the main difference. HansaChat is priced around the workspace, not around individual seats or paid-plan message counts.
Yes. SSO, such as Google sign-in, is included without an enterprise-only surcharge.
Yes. Explore the live demo without an email, or create a free workspace with your email when you want to test it with your team.
Yes. HansaChat has a free plan for up to 10 users, and you can find it in the pricing section on the main page. You can also use the live demo without registration or start a 14-day trial on a paid workspace when you are ready to evaluate a larger setup.
Yes. Workspaces on paid plans can export every public and private channel — including threads, reactions, and users — as a Slack-compatible archive from the dashboard at any time. Common import tools read that format directly, so switching away later stays cheap.
Ready to switch?
If your company mainly needs internal chat, stop paying Slack-style seat pricing for every added employee.
