Slack alternative · chat that's wired into everything

The Slack alternative
connected to your whole stack

Slack is great at chat — and then your real work lives in Gmail, Asana, Notion and ten other tabs. ADLR keeps the channels, DMs, threads, reactions and video you expect, but puts them in the same workspace as your email, projects, docs, HR and finance — so "send me the link from that email thread" turns into one search. Free for teams up to 5.

Why teams look for a Slack alternative

🔀 Chat is an island

Slack does messaging beautifully, but the email, tasks, docs and invoices it talks about live in other apps. ADLR's chat sits beside all of them in one data model.

🧾 Stacked subscriptions

Most teams pay for Slack plus Gmail, Asana, Notion, a vault and a calendar. ADLR rolls chat and the rest of the stack into one workspace and one bill.

🤖 Generic chat bots

Bolt-on bots don't know your work. @adlrbot answers inside a channel with context from your email, projects, docs and calendar — not from nowhere.

🔎 The lost-link problem

"Where's that file / PR / invoice?" Because chat, email, projects and finance share one search and AI, the answer is already in ADLR — no copy-pasting links between tools.

Slack capabilities listed are widely-published scope facts and may change — check slack.com for current terms. Slack is best-in-class for messaging and has a huge integration directory; ADLR's angle is folding chat into one workspace, not out-messaging it.

Switching from Slack keeps the parts you love

You still get fast channels, DMs, threads, reactions and file drops — plus a WhatsApp-style mobile layout. The difference is what surrounds them: a message about a client's deadline links to the actual project, the brief lives in Docs, the invoice is in Finance, and @adlrbot can pull any of it into the conversation. One login, one search, one AI — instead of a tab graveyard.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free Slack alternative for small teams?

Yes. ADLR includes real-time channels, DMs, threads, @mentions, reactions and file sharing, and it's free for teams of up to 5 seats with every other module included too. Pricing for larger teams is custom — contact sales.

Does ADLR have channels, DMs and threads like Slack?

Yes. ADLR chat is real-time over Socket.IO with channels, direct messages, threaded replies, @mentions, emoji reactions, file sharing and inline previews, plus a WhatsApp-style mobile layout.

Can I make video calls inside ADLR chat?

Yes. ADLR has built-in video calls powered by LiveKit, and the same workspace runs meetings and webinars for up to 1,000 attendees — so you don't need a separate calling tool alongside chat.

Is there an AI assistant in the chat?

Yes. Mention @adlrbot in any channel for an AI that's aware of your workspace — email, projects, docs, calendar, HR and finance — so answers come with real context instead of generic replies.

What does ADLR add that Slack doesn't?

Slack is chat. ADLR keeps the chat but connects it to custom-domain email, projects and tasks, documents, calendar, HRMS, finance and invoicing, a credentials vault and a CRM — all on one data model and one AI layer.

How much does ADLR cost compared to Slack?

Free for teams of up to 5 seats with everything included — chat plus email, projects, docs, HR, finance and AI. Pricing for larger teams is custom; contact sales.
