Match to your team. Slack and Teams suit office teams; Connecteam suits deskless, frontline staff.
Integrations matter. The best app connects to your calendar, files and other tools.
Channels over email. Organized channels cut inbox clutter and duplicate work.
Ecosystem fit. Microsoft shops lean Teams; others pick Slack — consider what you already pay for.
Watch the per-user cost. Pricing scales with the team — model your headcount.
