What it does
Chatwork is a business messaging tool with direct and project group chats, message search, file sharing, video calls, notifications, and task assignment from the chat interface. Its product page describes desktop and mobile apps and group rooms for projects.
Chatwork centers conversations on direct messages and project group rooms, with task assignment, file sharing, searchable messages, and video calls alongside chat. The pricing page lists a free plan for up to 100 users; it limits viewable history to the last 40 days and includes one-to-one video calls. Paid Standard starts at $7 per user per month with annual billing ($8.40 with monthly billing) and adds unlimited users and viewable message history.
This makes Chatwork more than a bare messaging client, but its group/task framing may suit project coordination better than teams looking for a highly customizable channel platform. No workspace or call was tested.
