Gravatate vs. Slack
Easier to Understand, Without All the Noise and Hashtags
Leave hashtags to your social channels. Gravatate lets you organize your work environment by workspace, which users of any age or level of tech experience can understand.
- No endless lists of feeds, just organized workspaces
- Easy file and link sharing
- A built-in calendar for simple team scheduling
- Desktop and mobile apps to ensure you stay connected
| Target |  |
 |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated intercompany chat | Need to be in a workspace | |
| OOB email integration | ||
| Per workspace pricing | ||
| Our take on Slack – It's a team chat tool. Problem is, it essentially recreates your overflowing email inbox with an equally or even more overflowing chat box. Good for conversations, not for organization. | ||
Gravatate vs. Whatsapp
Built for Professionals, Not Just Chat
Chat is great. In fact, it's an important element of Gravatate, but it doesn't come close to solving all of the issues companies run into when attempting to simplify communication. Gravatate offers:
- Large, full team messaging
- Small, focused chats
- Easy file and link sharing
- Calendars and scheduling
- Integrated email communication
| Target | |
 |
|---|---|---|
| Workspaces for teams | Group chat only | |
| OOB email integration | ||
| Per workspace pricing | ||
| Our take on Whatsapp – It's a great free tool that offers secure messaging and calls for family and friends, but it severely lacks the functionality needed for professional use. | ||
Gravatate vs. Microsoft Teams
Gravatate Excels at Inter-Company Communication
More often than not, your teams and your clients have different technology preferences (Apple, Microsoft, Google), and different levels of expertise. Gravatate accounts for that. Our tools make collaboration across companies and technologies easy.
- Anything shared in the workspace can also be shared via email (when enabled). Nobody out of the loop
- Responses by email get indexed into the proper channel (chat or workspace message) in the right sequence
- Seamless communication for off-platform users
- Easy for slow-adopters to adjust
- Can replace SMS text messaging
| Target | |
 |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated intercompany chat | Need to be in a team | |
| Easy to include external collaborators | ||
| Per workspace pricing | ||
| Our take on Teams – Great tool if you're in an enterprise environment collaborating with coworkers. Cross-company chat and collaboration gets tricky. | ||

| Target | |
 |
|---|---|---|
