Which one is for you
Pick Fleep if
- Fits if you want tasks sitting right inside your chats
- Makes sense if you talk to people at other companies who also use Fleep
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a two-week trial
- Tight if you need built-in calls, because they run through Whereby
- Pricey if you pay monthly, as only the yearly €5 price is shown
- Watch out: prices are in euros and Enterprise is quoted with no published price
Pick Twist if
- Fits if your team is spread across time zones and replies when it can
- Works for teams that want written discussions they can find again by topic
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a product that's still getting new features or bug fixes, as development is on hiatus
- Tight if you're staying free: anything older than a month is hidden, with 5 integrations, 5 GB and no trial of Unlimited
- Not for you if you want calls built in, as video meetings go through Jitsi Meet
- Watch out: on Unlimited every member and multi-channel guest is billed, so you can't mix free and paid members
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAFleepFair | 2.8GPATwistGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBusiness is €5 per user a month billed yearly, about the $7 middle of team chat tools. The monthly price is not shown. | CUnlimited is $6 a user a month billed yearly, $8 monthly, about the going rate for team chat, and Doist's help centre says no other discounts are offered. Paying the going rate for a product whose own What's New page says development is on hiatus is the part to think about. |
| Free plan and trial | DA two-week trial, and you are charged when it ends, which suggests a card is taken up front. No free plan. | CFree takes up to 500 members and 500 guests, but you only see and search the last month of comments and messages. Older threads are kept and hidden until you upgrade. Add 5 integrations and 5 GB of storage, and there's no trial of Unlimited. |
| Features | CChats, per-conversation tasks, a pinboard and email in chat. Calls depend on Whereby, which is a gap for a chat tool. | CIt has titled threads in channels, an inbox with Active, Done and Saved views, search filtered by author, channel and date, and no online-status dots anywhere. Two gaps: video meetings go out to Jitsi Meet, and development is on hiatus, with the last What's New entry from May 2023. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Nothing is complicated, but tasks, teams and email linking all need setting up. | A4.7 on the App Store from about 1,080 ratings. A thread has a title, it lands in your inbox, and you mark it done, the same steps as email. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWindows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android apps, an admin panel and API, and links to Slack, Trello, Zapier and Google Drive. No web app listed. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android. The directory covers Todoist, GitHub, GitLab, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Jira Software and Trello, with Zapier, Make and n8n for the rest, and there's a developer API for your own automations. |

Worth knowing
Fleep

- The pricing page shows only the yearly-billed €5 price; the monthly-billing price is not displayed.
- Voice and video calls depend on Whereby rather than being built in.
- Prices are shown in euros.
Twist
- Twist's own What's New page says development is on hiatus: no new features and no fixes for small bugs for the time being. Its last entry is from May 2023.
- The Free plan shows and searches only the last month of comments and messages; older content is kept but hidden until the team upgrades.
- Free teams are limited to 5 integrations and 5 GB of file storage.
- On Unlimited every member and multi-channel guest is billed, so a team cannot mix free and paid members.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
