Why teams look beyond Slack
Slack is excellent at messaging. The trouble starts with everything a message is about.
Chat is an island
The email, tasks and invoices a message is about live in other apps. In ADLR they sit in the same workspace as the conversation.
A bill for every tool
Slack for chat, then email, then invoicing, then HR, each with its own bill. ADLR puts chat, email, projects, docs, HR and finance on one plan at $5 per user a month.
Bots that don't know the work
Tag @adlrbot in a channel or DM and Adi answers there, using the conversation's recent messages and what you can see in ADLR: your projects, tasks, calendar and deals.

Where Slack still wins
An honest list, so you can decide with your eyes open.
Search across every message
On paid plans, every message and file in Slack is saved and searchable; Free keeps 90 days. In ADLR, search in a channel or DM looks through that conversation, as far back as you've scrolled.
A big app directory
Slack connects to thousands of apps, ten on Free and as many as you like on paid plans. ADLR connects to GitHub, takes card payments on your invoices through your own Stripe account, and has its own API.
Chat with other companies
On paid plans, Slack Connect shares DMs, group chats and channels with people at other organisations; Free allows one-to-one messages. ADLR's chat is for the people in your workspace, and outside people join your meetings by link.
What you keep from Slack
The chat habits your team already has. What changes is everything around them.
- Channels and DMs
- Threads and reactions
- @mentions
- Files with previews
- Voice notes
- 1:1 calls
- Mentions and reactions in one place
- A WhatsApp-style phone layout
Built for the way client teams work
A project's chat next to the build
Each project has its own chat beside its tasks, and Tasks has a GitHub view, so a question in chat is one click from the work.
From the client's email to a paid invoice
Client email on your own domain, the contract they sign and an invoice they can pay by card, all in one workspace.
Stand-ups that keep their notes
A Room keeps a team's meetings, chat and files together, with Adi's minutes when AI is on.
Switching, with help
ADLR doesn't import Slack message history. Here is how teams move over.
Book your onboarding call
Thirty minutes with us, and you leave with a migration plan. Migration help is free.
Set up channels and invite the team
Create your channels, then invite people by email. They sign in with email or Google.
Move your email
Point your domain's mail at ADLR, or connect Gmail and IMAP mailboxes. An MBOX file brings old mail across.
Run both while you switch
Keep Slack open while your team moves over. The two aren't linked, so set a date for the switch.
Questions teams ask before switching
No. ADLR is $5 per user a month from the first seat, with chat, email, projects, docs, HR and finance included. Pricing for larger teams is custom; contact sales.
Yes: channels, direct messages, threaded replies, @mentions, reactions, file sharing with previews and voice notes, with a WhatsApp-style layout on phones.
Yes, one to one: call anyone from a direct message. For a group, start a meeting; meetings inside your ADLR workspace have no time cap.
Yes. Tag @adlrbot in any channel or DM and Adi, ADLR's built-in AI, answers in the conversation, using its recent messages and what you can see in ADLR: your projects, tasks, calendar and deals.
Not today. ADLR doesn't import Slack messages, so keep Slack open for reference while your team moves over.
Yes, as two separate apps: they aren't linked. Set a date for the switch and keep Slack open until everyone has moved.
Email on your own domain, invoices and expenses, HR and e-signatures, in the same workspace as your chat, projects and docs, with Adi working across them.
Yes. ADLR runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen. Chat uses a WhatsApp-style layout.
On 27 October 2026, Slack's Pro plan was $8.75 a user a month and Business+ $18, paid monthly ($7.25 and $15 paid yearly). ADLR is $5 a user a month, with email, projects, docs, HR, finance, e-sign and Adi as well as chat.
We plan your move with you: which channels to set up, getting email onto your domain, and bringing tasks across from a spreadsheet.
Keep the chat. Lose the tab juggling.
One workspace where chat, email, projects, docs, HR and finance live together, with Adi working across your inbox, projects and calendar.
