Linen is significantly cheaper than Slack
$10/month for up to 100 users compared to Slack's $7.25/user/month.
What it really comes down to is integrations. For a team to consider Linen, they'd have to get their Jira tickets in there, bitbucket/github hooks etc. as well as external integration with Okta/azure SSO etc. That will make or break Linen, more so than being indexable. Because if you want indexed content, you're likely working on an open source project or are open which means without revenues, and so you won't be willing to pay much.
I'm glad an alternative to Slack, cheaper, with open search is available.

Just comprehensive SSO alone is something that costs around $5/user/month. Sure, the Linen team could write it themselves, but it won't work anywhere nearly as nicely or as performant as signing up for an SSO service that works with everything a corporate uses for sign-ins. So, yeah, it can be $1/user/month now, but it's unlikely to remain that way when they need to add in all the Slack functionality. It's also unlikely to remain performant when it matches Slack feature-for-feature.
