Why We Quit Slack (and the Best Slack Alternatives We Recommend in 2025) | ClickUp

Our team used Slack for years—until it became more of a distraction than a solution.

Between channel chaos, rising costs, and constant pings, Slack just didn’t fit anymore. So we switched. 🎯

In this video, I’ll share the best Slack alternatives we tried (and the one we ultimately stuck with). Spoiler: We had to build it out ourselves! 💬

You’ll see which platforms truly improve team communication, which fall short, and how to pick the right Slack replacement for your team.

We’ll cover:

✅ Async-first Slack alternatives that reduce meetings
✅ Free team chat tools with unlimited history + storage

✅ Privacy-focused options for secure communication
