Ways to spend less on Slack
You aren't charged for people who stop using Slack
Slack's Fair Billing Policy only bills active members. Anyone who hasn't used Slack in over 28 days stops counting, and you get a prorated credit for their unused time. Single-channel guests are free. The catch: credits only go towards future bills and vanish if the subscription ends.
