Sorry if I'm ignorant, but how can slack cost 600k/year? I doubt they wouldn't give some form of deal for bigger companies. I know integrations can sometimes suck up money, but 600k is insane
- supportengineer 2y agoThat's a huge financial incentive to build an alternative.
- karel-3d 2y agoThere is Mattermost which you can self host. Once you do, you will realize the DB grows REALLY fast
- ThunderSizzle 2y agoOur enterprise deletes all PMs after 24 hours. That's one way to not worry about that.
- seb1204 2y agoI think this is a good approach, although 24 hours seem very short. 24 hours is not even covering overlap across time zones, WE or PH.
- mynameisash 2y agoI poked around with Mattermost like ~8 years ago, but never anything serious. I don't know how good it is now, especially w/r/t administration, but I have to imagine that if you're concerned about $1000s -- let alone $100ks -- in annual costs, you can scale up your storage and still come out _way_ ahead. Maybe that's a naïve take?
- sgarland 2y agoUntil you have to administer the DB. It’s doable, of course, but RDBMS administration for anything beyond toy scale gets interesting.

- dtech 2y agoSlack is $180/year without discounts or "enterprise". So if you have 3300 users it could be that.
