I Slack

This is the good kind of slacking! We use it for our company all the time. Have many channels going. Way easier than email once you get used to it.

Kelly
Standard plan

We are currently on the standard plan which is their cheapest paid plan. It's great if you have 10 people or less. Got most of the features that you would ever need and all conversations are saved.
