Slack alternative
The Slack alternative that also replaces your meeting links and phone system.
Freesbe is a team chat app with the channels, threads and huddles Slack users know, plus scheduled video meetings with guest links, booking links and a phone line for every person. Business costs $4 per person a month billed yearly, where Slack Pro costs $7.25. Slack's webhook format works as is.

Everything you use Slack for
Public and private channels, DMs and group DMs, threads, reactions, mentions, search, guests and huddles with screen sharing. Desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, in 25 languages.
Plus the tools you pay for separately
Scheduled meetings with links guests open in a browser, a waiting room, booking links like a scheduling app, and a phone line on your sip.io phone system, all on the Business plan.
- Meeting links with your logo, and email invites with calendar files

- SIP credentials for desk phones and softphones
- Support sessions with remote control on Corporate
Move without rebuilding your integrations
Freesbe's incoming webhooks accept the same JSON as Slack's, so a tool that posts to Slack only needs the new URL. Slack import brings people, channels, DMs, threads, reactions and files.
Where Slack is the better fit
Slack has a far larger app directory and Slack Connect channels with up to 250 other companies. If your team relies on many Slack apps or on Slack Connect, check what you'd need before you move.
