PRICING MODEL

Microsoft Teams Pricing Model

Comparing the pricing plans, Microsoft Teams offers more storage for similar pricing. In addition, Microsoft Teams is already included in the business and enterprise subscriptions. If your company is already subscribed to Microsoft 365, you can use the premium version of Teams without incurring additional costs.

Teams come with deep integration of the Office 365 apps, giving you full access to create, edit, format Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office 365 applications and the ability to interact with team members on a file in real-time.

In contrast, Slack also has Microsoft integrations, such as Outlook calendar and email, OneDrive, and SharePoint, but they aren't as deep as Teams' Microsoft 365 integrations.

Microsoft Teams allows you to share files and collaborate with your team members simultaneously in real-time. On the other hand, Slack does not have that feature, and you'll have to download the documents to make changes and re-share them.

With all chats, conversations, shared files, online meetings, tasks assigned, and more available in one app, MS Teams improves collaboration and productivity. Just by downloading the app, your team will be able to access information and connect anywhere, anytime, on any device.

Microsoft Teams allows users to create several channels inside a team, making it easier to manage data better and keep track of the growing number of channels. You can also create private channels inside the team to limit access to confidential data. When a Team is created, it automatically gets integrated with the other Office 365 apps.

But On the other hand, users in Slack are unable to create sub-channels within channels.
