Is Slack free?

Slack is available in both free and paid versions, depending on a team's needs. The free version only includes basic features such as two-person calls, 10 app integrations, and 5 GB of storage. The paid versions start at €6.25 per month.

Is Slack safe?

Slack has a history of data breaches that occurred in 2015. The company reassures that all data (at rest and in transit) is encrypted and that they use tools like Slack Enterprise Key Management (Slack EKM), audit logs, two-factor authentication, and integrations with top data loss prevention (DLP) providers. As always, we recommend avoiding sharing personal information and sensible customer data over the app.
