Workast report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for teams that live in Slack and want tasks there
Workast puts task management inside Slack and Webex, with AI triage and a 14-day trial. Plan prices were not shown in the page text we read, the Essential plan keeps tasks to Slack only, and the FAQ says no refunds.
Who Workast is for
- Fits if your team already talks all day in Slack
- Works for groups that want to turn messages into tasks
Who Workast is not for
- Skip it if you want prices up front, as plan prices were not shown on the page we read
- Tight if you pick Essential, which has 100 MB of storage and keeps task features in Slack only
- Watch out: the pricing FAQ says Workast does not offer refunds
- Not for you if you work outside Slack and Webex
- Too light for large firms, as Enterprise is aimed at 200+ users with several Slack workspaces

Keep Workast, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Workast you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 112 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Tasks, kanban boards, forms and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Workast’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
