## Which should you choose, Mojobase or Slack?

### Choose Slack if

- You meet in huddles, share screens and talk more than you type.
- You rely on Slack's 2,600+ apps, Workflow Builder, canvases or Salesforce's Agentforce.
- You want a free plan, or chat for a large organisation with enterprise search and data loss prevention.

### Choose Mojobase if

- You want chat next to the email, calendar, tasks and customers it's about, so "I'll send the quote Friday" becomes a task in one click.
- You talk with customers and contractors in shared channels and don't want to pay for each guest. Mojobase is built for 1 to 25 people, and it works well for teams up to 100.
- Your team is on WhatsApp groups today and needs something as quick on a phone.

## What's the real difference between Mojobase and Slack?

Slack is a chat platform that other tools plug into. Channels, huddles, canvases, lists, Workflow Builder and more than 2,600 apps make it the hub many companies run through, and Slackbot is its built-in AI agent.

Mojobase's Team chat keeps Slack's shape, channels, DMs and threads, because people already know it, but it lives beside the work it's about. A message saying "I'll send the quote Friday" gets a private offer of a task for its author; "let's talk Thursday" gets an offer of a calendar event; a decision gets an offer of a Handbook update. One click accepts each, and everything lands in Activity with Undo.

## How does the AI compare?

Slack's AI summarises conversations and threads, takes huddle notes, searches, writes daily recaps and file summaries, and generates workflows; Slackbot understands conversations, files and projects. The plan cards label it Basic AI on Free and Pro and Advanced AI on Business+, with plan limits.

Mojobase's AI is about what needs you. Needs you lists the DMs, mentions, unanswered questions and threads waiting on you, each with a drafted reply to send, edit or skip. Catch up gives each busy channel a few lines on what was decided, what was asked and who it's waiting on. @Mojobase in any channel answers from the whole business, mail, files, tasks, calendar and the Handbook, but posts only what everyone in that channel may see; anything else goes privately to whoever asked.

## Which one costs less for a team of five?

Slack costs less for chat alone. Pro is $7.25 a user a month paying annually, or $8.75 monthly, and Business+ is $15 or $18; five people on Business+ are $75 a month paying annually or $90 monthly. Slack Free costs nothing but keeps only 90 days of history. Mojobase for five is $139 a month, or $105 for the first 10 companies.

The comparison changes if you invite customers or contractors. In Slack, paid-plan external collaboration runs through Slack Connect; in Mojobase, guests are free and take no seat. And Mojobase's price includes email, calendar, documents, tasks, a CRM and Stripe invoice tracking.

## Where is Slack the better choice?

Slack is the better choice for teams that talk live and connect many tools. Huddles give audio and video calls with screen sharing, which Mojobase doesn't have: no calls, no huddles. Canvases, Lists, Workflow Builder, custom emoji, polls and more than 2,600 apps in its marketplace are all Slack's, as are enterprise features such as SAML single sign-on, SCIM and data loss prevention. Slack's MCP server also works with Claude, Perplexity and Cursor. A company that already runs its processes inside Slack should stay.

## Why do small teams move from WhatsApp or Slack to Mojobase?

Because the conversation and the work end up in different places. Many small teams chat in WhatsApp groups, where nothing turns into a task and nobody can search last month's decision. Mojobase imports WhatsApp group exports and Slack exports, keeps every message for as long as the company pays, and opens on a phone like a messenger: the chat list first, newest on top. Files shared in a channel go into Documents, in a folder for that channel, where the AI can read them when asked.

## Questions people ask

### Is Mojobase a Slack alternative?

For a small team's chat, yes: public and private channels, DMs, group DMs, threads, mentions, reactions, search and notifications, with an import from Slack's export. It has no huddles, calls, canvases, Workflow Builder, custom emoji or polls, so teams built on those will miss them.

### How much does Slack cost for a small team?

Slack's Free plan keeps 90 days of history and up to 10 apps. Pro is $7.25 a user a month paying annually, or $8.75 monthly; Business+ is $15 or $18. Five people on Business+ are $75 a month paying annually. Mojobase for five is $139 a month, with email, calendar, tasks and the CRM included.

### Are guests free in Mojobase?

Yes. Guests are invited by email or link into the channels chosen for them, see only those channels and their people, and don't take a seat. A guest who's also a customer shows as one person in Customers, so the conversation and the relationship stay together.

### Can I import my Slack workspace into Mojobase?

Yes. Team chat imports an owner's Slack export, with its channels, people, messages, threads and file links; imported messages keep their authors and times. WhatsApp group exports import too, each becoming a channel.

### What does Slack's AI do compared with Mojobase's?

Slack's AI summarises conversations and threads, takes huddle notes, searches, generates workflows, writes daily recaps and includes Slackbot as a personal agent, with Advanced AI on Business+. Mojobase's AI drafts replies in Needs you and offers tasks, events and Handbook updates from what was said.
