Well, sure they accumulate. So do salaries. If it's not worth the money to your company, don't spend it. Same goes for salaries.

- Q6T46nT668w6i3m 12y agoI don’t understand your analogy.
- GuiA 12y agoImagine that an employee is costing you $X a year (that includes pay, but also things like health insurance, taxes, their computer/desk chair/etc etc etc). If you use Slack, your employee now costs you $X + $60 a year. Usually in tech, X is a 6 digit number (or very high 5 digit number). If $60 makes such a difference in that balance, there are probably big things you should worry about.
- logicuce 12y agoThose numbers are not true for even half of the world. Also, I would want everybody in my org to be part of the same communication channel including every non tech folk. You will definitely find folks for whom the $100/mo/user is not a big deal and Slack does have that plan with needed features. However if I am bootstrapping with a business with majority of non tech part time employees, its not a quick decision to commit to $8/mo/user. For comparison, Google Apps provide their complete suite at $5/mo/user. Desk.com provides interfacing with customer starting at $3/mo/agent. With the value they provide I don't think twice before committing to it. (btw, I could only see their cheapest plan at $8/mo/user paid monthly, where is $5/mo coming from?)

I'm currently seeing $6.67/mo on an annualized basis, with no obvious means to get it monthly. Perhaps they just got caught red handed running an A/B test. ;-) Whatever their price is, though, it matters little if an employee saves as little as an hour per month using the service.
