  Yes. But slack, like HipChat thinks I want to pay 500MB RAM and $7 per user per month to chat and voice call. Effectively all I want is a lean chat/voice app that’s also ideally free.

Skype is $0 regardless of company size and the resource use is pretty reasonable. On that topic: Why aren’t more companies using discord instead of Slack? Looking at feature matrices it seems discord does in the free version a lot of what Slack does in paid (e.g group voice)?
