Headcount drives the bill
The more people need access, the more the monthly cost rises, even if many users are lightweight readers.
Built for companies tired of seat-based chat pricing
Your company chat at a fixed price
HansaChat gives your company channels, direct messages, SSO, and admin control without turning every added employee into another monthly license.
Best for companies that mainly need internal chat and want predictable pricing for the whole company, not another per-user SaaS bill.

Pricing
One workspace price instead of multiplying your bill by headcount.
Fit
Made for companies that need chat, not a giant add-on ecosystem.
Infrastructure
The core product is built by our team and runs on servers in Europe.
Growth
Add the whole company without reopening the budget every time access expands.
Slack often starts easy. The pricing gets harder as the company grows.
The real problem with Slack is not only the monthly bill. It is the constant seat math behind it.
Every employee you add, every manager who only reads updates, and every occasional user can become another pricing decision. Internal communication turns into license management.
Simple chat gets wrapped in platform pricing
If your real need is company chat, you may be paying for a broader platform than you actually need.
Security and admin features can push you upward
SSO, domain restrictions, and user management should not feel like premium exceptions.
Including everyone becomes a budget debate
Per-user pricing makes broad rollout feel expensive even when many employees only need occasional access.
What HansaChat changes
The product is intentionally simpler: company chat with a fixed price, clear admin control, and room to include everyone.
A fixed price for company chat
You pay for the workspace, not for every employee. That makes budgeting easier and rollout less political.
Everyone can be included
Active users, occasional readers, managers, and support staff can all be part of the same company workspace without seat counting.
Security basics are already part of the offer
SSO and admin-oriented controls belong in the normal buying path, not behind an enterprise-only gate.
A better fit if chat is the main job
If you mainly want channels, direct messages, and internal company communication, HansaChat keeps the scope focused and the pricing easier to justify.

Switching should feel manageable, not risky
The goal is not to copy every part of Slack. The goal is to give your company a cleaner buying decision if what you really need is internal chat at a fixed price.
Good fit if chat is the core use case
If your company mostly needs channels, direct messages, and company-wide updates, HansaChat covers the main job without per-user billing.
Clearer buying story for procurement
A fixed workspace price is easier to explain internally than a cost that rises with every account you add.
Safer to include the whole company
You can bring in occasional users and read-only participants without feeling punished for broad adoption.
Simple to evaluate first
Try the live demo before changing anything. That reduces switching anxiety and lets you judge the product in context.
Questions teams ask before switching from Slack
Companies that mainly want internal chat with predictable pricing. If your main need is day-to-day company communication, the fixed-price model is often easier to justify than per-user seat pricing.
Teams that depend heavily on Slack’s broad integration ecosystem and want a larger all-in-one collaboration platform may still be better served there. HansaChat is the stronger fit when company chat is the main job and fixed pricing matters.
No. That is the main difference. HansaChat is priced around the workspace, not around individual seats or paid-plan message counts.
Yes. SSO, such as Google sign-in, is included without an enterprise-only surcharge.
Yes. Explore the live demo without an email, or create a free workspace with your email when you want to test it with your team.
Yes. HansaChat has a free plan for up to 10 users, and you can find it in the pricing section on the main page. You can also use the live demo without registration or start a 14-day trial on a paid workspace when you are ready to evaluate a larger setup.
Ready to switch?
If your company mainly needs internal chat, stop paying Slack-style seat pricing for every added employee.
