Watch out for

  • A smaller integrations list than larger chat tools; the home page highlights Clockify, Plaky and Google Drive
  • The Free plan keeps only 90 days of message history and 10 apps
  • Group huddles and group external messages need a paid plan
  • Single sign-on needs Business+ and above
  • Aimed at gaming and social use; Discord describes itself as a platform for connections around playing games
  • Nitro adds personal perks and is not a team plan with admin or compliance controls
  • The pages read do not state business pricing or enterprise controls
