What it does
Flock is a team messaging workspace with public and private channels, direct and group messages, integrated search, and an all-channel feed. Its pricing page lists a free Starter tier for teams of 1 to 20 members, with limits on searchable messages, public channels, and storage.
Flock’s channel workflow gives a small team places for ongoing group discussion: public channels are searchable and joinable by colleagues, while private channels keep a topic within an invited group. The product page also describes an All Channel feed that collects new messages across channels, reducing the need to check each channel separately.
The pricing page lists Starter as free for teams of 1 to 20 members. It includes unlimited one-to-one and group messages, 10,000 searchable messages, 10 public channels, 5 GB of team storage, and one-to-one video calls. Teams that need longer searchable history, private channels, or group video should compare the paid and enterprise offerings before relying on the free tier.
