RingEX from RingCentral<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We might be a bit biased here, but we believe that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/ringex.html#:~:text=RingEX%20integrates%20all%20your%20essential,to%20your%20regular%20phone%20system.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingEX <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">truly deserves to be at the top of this list. It\u2019s an intuitive team communications tool with an impressively broad feature-set and so is one of the best of all available company communication apps.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-57945\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Article-image_RingEX_Desktop-Video-4-person-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Video meetings are just one part of RingEX when you use it as a team communication app\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as text-based chatting, you can do everything from quick voice calls to check in to full-blown video conferences with ease. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the key features of RingEX:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingEX has well-organized, streamlined chat channels, plus integrated voice and video calling, simple yet secure file-sharing, and numerous task management tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the other key strengths of RingEX is its integrations with other popular business apps. You don\u2019t have to platform-hop when doing things like sharing files. Users can share and annotate documents without leaving the RingEX platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, RingEX <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/apps\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be embedded into your favorite tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and platforms, so you can do things like update your CRM via the RingEX integration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingEX is a versatile one-stop solution for everything you need in a team communications platform. It facilitates clear communication and productivity across your organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this stuff doesn\u2019t come for free, of course, but RingEX is cost-effective for the features and performance it provides.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing starts at $20 per user, per month. Best value is arguably the Ultra tier, which offers a complete suite of features for $35\/user\/month (paid annually).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Slack<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slack is a popular team communication app that allows for well-organized, productive conversations through streamlined chat channels. The app is easy to use and has a fair range of integrations. If you\u2019re looking for an intuitive, app-based alternative to email, Slack is a decent option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-57946\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slack-1024x701.png\" alt=\"Slack is a well-k\" width=\"1024\" height=\"701\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Image sourced from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/slack\/reviews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slack has slick, well-organized messaging channels that allow for team discussions and one-on-ones. It\u2019s well-optimized for mobile, making it handy for remote team communication, and its search tool makes it easy to pull up information and files very quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slack is very well known, which means that it has a lot of potential integrations, and many users will already be familiar with how it works (meaning you won\u2019t have to train them as much).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The major downside of Slack is that it\u2019s primarily a text-based app. It\u2019s great for messaging and file-sharing, but \u201cvoice-first huddles\u201d and video clips aren\u2019t as efficient as the full-fledged video conferencing built into some other solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slack has a basic freemium plan. Paid plans are designed to fit in with businesses at different stages of development. The cheapest is the Pro plan, at $8.75 per user, per month.<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Microsoft Teams<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Teams is another big-hitter on this list. It\u2019s widely used for video conferencing, especially by businesses that use a lot of contractors and remote workers. Its widespread nature makes it easy for anyone to hop on a Teams call, which makes it useful for companies that make a lot of calls outside their own business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57947 aligncenter\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Teams.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image sourced from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capterra.com\/p\/168668\/Microsoft-Teams\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capterra<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"heading h4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Teams offers a wide variety of features, including video calling, real-time file sharing, chat functions, and integrated file-editing. It also integrates with a lot of popular workplace platforms like Trello and Adobe Creative Cloud. You can also integrate RingCentral\u2019s telephone, SMS, and fax into Microsoft Teams to make it a one-stop communication hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic, \u201cHome Plan\u201d version of Teams is free to use and can be accessed relatively easily from anywhere with a basic feature set. The cheapest business Plan is Microsoft Teams Essentials. It has a variety of chat features and functions, including real-time file sharing and in-platform file editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the downside, its advanced features can be complicated and require a bit of training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic version of Teams is free with a Microsoft 365 subscription. If your business uses Microsoft 365 a lot then this is a great deal. If you don\u2019t, paying for the full Microsoft suite when you only need a chat app would be a bad budgetary decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Away from the M365 subscription, paid plans for Microsoft Teams start at $4 per user, per month.<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Google Chat<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Chat comes as part of Google Workspace. You are likely familiar with or already have some Google Workspace tools. The suite includes Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Drive, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Chat is Google\u2019s attempt to bring team chat functionality into their Workspace suite. In theory, Google Chat allows teams to message each other while working with Google products. It allows for team calls and catch-ups, and integrates relatively well with Google Meet for video conferencing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57948 aligncenter\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Google-Chat.png\" alt=\"Google Chat can be used as a team communication app alongside others\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image sourced from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/google-chat\/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#overview\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trustradius<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Chat offers spaces for team updates, project discussions, one-on-one hangouts, and more. It has all the chat features you\u2019d expect from a giant like Google, and integrates with the other tools in Google Workspace. When combined with other Google products, it can provide a decent array of tools and capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google has huge brand recognition. Everyone is familiar with it and how its products work. This means that Google Chat has a relatively low learning curve. It also offers a decent range of work-related chat functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, despite being made by the same company for the same suite, it\u2019s not always simple to integrate Google Chat with other Workspace tools like Docs or Drive. Some platform-hopping is necessary to get the best out of Google Chat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also worth noting that the layout of Google Chat can be confusing. It\u2019s all too easy to message the wrong person, which isn\u2019t great if you work with sensitive information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals can use Google Chat for free. Paid Workspace business plans start at $7.20 per user, per month.<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Flock<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flock is a team collaboration app combining chat channels with project management tools. Its USP is streamlining chats and workflows for enhanced productivity. It aims to help teams slash the time they spend trying to parse chat streams and dig information out of old messages, and to keep conversations productive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-57949\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flock-1024x638.png\" alt=\"Flock is a lesser-known work communication app\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image sourced from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/flock\/reviews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flock has a lot of features which help teams to get clarity on projects and tasks at a glance. For example, it\u2019s easy to assign tasks to team members, apply deadlines, and pin important chat items. You can also create team polls to quickly take the team\u2019s temperature on issues, or to make informed decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flock also has an automatic opening feature, which makes sure that nobody misses any important messages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flock has a reputation for reliability. It delivers on its claims to enhance communication and collaboration, in part due to its automatic opening feature that makes sure that messages always get in front of the right eyes.\u00a0 It is also great for keeping communication organized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, larger teams have experienced issues when using Flock, noting that the organizational features start to lose effectiveness as chat channels get larger. And, as a blow for freemium users, the free tier does not include group video calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flock encourages businesses considering its Enterprise tier to contact them for a quote. For the Pro tier, prices start at $4.50 per user per month.<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Trello<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trello is a well-used <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/project-management-tools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">project management tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its Kanban board system is very popular, and is a format that\u2019s hard to beat in task management terms. It also allows users to comment on aspects of tasks and projects, share files, and message one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-57950\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Trello-1024x711.png\" alt=\"Trello is for project management and team communication\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image sourced from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/trello\/reviews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trello is not, strictly speaking, a chat app. It made this list because its task management features are great for team collaboration. Trello\u2019s boards make it easy to see what\u2019s ongoing, who\u2019s responsible for what task, when tasks are due, and so on. Users can also flag issues, leave comments, and share files on Trello\u2019s Kanban boards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trello does also offer chat features in case people want to raise issues with other users privately. It\u2019s also worth noting that Trello integrates well with team communication apps like RingEX, so you can get the best of project management and team collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trello is fantastic for task and project management, and it integrates beautifully with more comprehensive team communication tools like RingEX.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it isn\u2019t a dedicated chat app. While it offers some chat functions, it\u2019s less suitable as a standalone communications tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trello has a freemium tier offering all its basic features. To unlock features like unlimited boards and greater admin capabilities, users will have to pick a paid plan. Plans start from $5 per user, per month when billed annually and $6 per user, per month when billed monthly.<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Wire<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wire describes itself as a \u201ccollaboration platform\u201d, and offers all the chat, file-sharing, and conferencing options you\u2019d expect from a mid-range example of the genre. What sets Wire apart from some others is its security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wire is designed with security in mind. It offers full end-to-end encryption for all chats, and \u201cself-destructing rooms\u201d which delete once the conversation has finished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-57951\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wire-1024x700.png\" alt=\"Wire is a team communication app that prioritizes security\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image sourced from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/wire\/reviews\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wire offers instant messaging, team messaging, video calling and conferencing, file sharing, and some team management tools. Where it differs from other apps is in its open-source nature and its security features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because it is open-source, it can be customized to the needs of each business. And its security features are second to none. Self-destructing chats are an especially nice feature if you need James Bond-style security measures for your business conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019ve covered, the level of security and inventive security features Wire offers are fantastic. That being said, if security isn\u2019t such a priority for you, you won\u2019t find much exceptional about Wire. Its regular chat features are as you\u2019d find with most other tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wire pricing is not widely advertised.

Chanty is also very good at enabling low-level communication between large remote teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, for businesses that need higher-level communication, Chanty may not be ideal. It\u2019s not really designed for wide and complex communication networks, and will struggle to provide for larger businesses with diverse communication needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a limited free Chanty plan, and then a slightly more comprehensive business plan at $3 per user, per month (paid annually).<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.

This means that users don\u2019t have to worry about any important information getting lost, and don\u2019t have to transfer data to another platform or format if they don\u2019t have the time or capacity to do so. Users can easily search through messaging history to quickly come up with chat threads from years back if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pumble\u2019s centralized storage system makes it very easy to both store and find data. It has an impressive array of security features, and permissions can be adjusted on a granular level to make sure that only the right people can see sensitive conversations or access sensitive files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Pumble is designed for large, tech-savvy teams with complex communication needs.

Spike customers say that they find their inboxes much easier to manage, and are able to hold more productive conversations with both clients and teammates using Spike than they are with traditional email alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, Spike is not a complete team communications tool. While it is useful at what it does, it doesn\u2019t offer things like video conferencing and voice messaging.

Team communication apps can usually do a number of things, but ultimately they should seamlessly draw together multiple types of customizable internal communication modes into one platform for all users. This is so all your staff (wherever they are) can access your emails, chats, calls, Dropbox files, social media posts and other important information in one place, and work in sync on to-do lists and projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why use apps for communication?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apps enhance employee communication cohesion, make collaboration and group messaging easy, and help teams get more done with instant access to direct messages, files, and other key project information.
