Conclusion

We hope this comparison is helpful. If you are looking for a simple, secure and inexpensive, business chat solution, Office Chat is the clear winner. If you already are an Office365 customer and your employees are tech savvy, Microsoft Teams may be a good solution for you. WhatsApps is designed for consumers and as a business you do not have any control over what your employees use it for, so it is not recommended as a business chat solution. Slack is focused on replacing email and may be too complex for what you need and want to pay for.

If your needs are more extensive than what OfficeChat has to offer, we recommend looking at the other ones we list, as well as the comprehensive office communication solution we offer from our parent company, MangoApps.
