When Slack self-hosted is a possibility, Hipchat is dead in the water.
That's the only reason to use Hipchat today, and the Slack experience is an order of magnitude better.

I think Slack put some pressure on the Hipchat team but there is plenty of stuff that is highly problematic for how Slack is set up at the moment. In particular even for small teams it can become incredibly hard to see what's happening and the integrations either spam too much or are too useless once it becomes a bit more crowded in a room.

- joshstrange 11y agoHipchat Connect takes a HUGE step forward in completing with Slack and I prefer integration over a few flashy features. Yes you can integrate with Slack but my company has bought into Atlassian and it's quite wonderful...
- steeef 11y agoYou're forgetting the price: Paid Slack accounts start at $6.67/user, HipChat $2/user. That's a very big difference for even a medium-sized business.
