Freesbe gives a small team the channels, threads, reactions and huddles it knows from Slack, then adds what Slack sells separately or not at all: scheduled meetings with guest links, booking pages, workflows and a business phone system. Business costs less per person than Slack Pro, a Slack export imports in an afternoon, and webhooks in Slack's format keep working.
For Teams of 2 to 500 who like Slack's shape and not its price, or want calls and a phone line in the same app.
Public and private channels, DMs and group DMs, threads, reactions and custom emoji, pins, saved for later, scheduled messages and a search that finds any part of a word. A huddle starts in any channel or DM with up to 20 people and a shared screen. Apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android, in 25 languages.
Scheduled meetings get a short link, your logo and a lobby; guests open them in a browser with no account. Booking pages let people pick a free 15, 30 or 60 minute slot. Workflows handle forms, approvals and reminders. A business phone system with numbers, menus, queues and voicemail is an add-on to any paid plan. Each would be another subscription next to Slack.

Export from Slack, upload the zip in Workspace settings, and Freesbe brings in the people, public and private channels, DMs, messages, threads, reactions, mentions, files and profile pictures. Everyone gets an account that waits for them with their history in it. Then point your Slack incoming webhooks at Freesbe's URLs: the JSON is the same.
Slack has an app directory far larger than Freesbe's, Slack Connect channels shared with up to 250 other organizations on paid plans, and an AI assistant across the product on Business+. A team that depends on many Slack apps, on Slack Connect, or that needs an enterprise-grid deployment should check what it would give up before moving.
