The Slack alternative where chat becomes work

Slack is where conversations happen — and where decisions get buried. Rowsh keeps the channels, threads, and calls your team knows, and adds the task boards, calendar, and files Slack makes you buy elsewhere.

  • Channels, DMs, threads, and reactions — familiar from day one
  • Turn any message into a task with one click
  • Voice & video calls, calendar, and files included
  • One flat workspace price — add your whole team

Decisions stop disappearing into the scroll

In chat-only tools, an agreed action lives exactly as long as the conversation stays on screen. In Rowsh, any message becomes a task with an assignee and a due date — in the same app, without copy-pasting into a second tool.

  • Turn messages into tasks without leaving the conversation
  • Tasks link back to the discussion that created them
  • Threads keep long decisions out of the main channel

Stop paying per user for chat

Per-user pricing punishes growing teams: every hire raises the bill, so freelancers and clients get left out of the loop. Rowsh charges per workspace — invite the whole team and your collaborators without watching the bill climb.

  • Flat workspace pricing — no per-seat math
  • Full message history on every plan
  • Free setup and migration from your current tools

Switching from Slack — common questions

No. Rowsh chat works the way modern team chat is expected to: channels, direct messages, threads, reactions, mentions, and file sharing. The difference is what surrounds it — tasks, calendar, and files in the same workspace.
Yes. You can start a voice or video call directly from any conversation, so meetings stay contextual instead of living in a separate video tool.
Rowsh uses flat workspace pricing. You pay one price for the workspace and can add your whole team, contractors, and collaborators without the bill growing with every seat.
Yes. Every plan includes free workspace setup, channel structure tailored to how your team works, team invitations, and a live onboarding call — most teams are running in under 30 minutes.
