What it does
Kakao Work is a workplace messenger with channels and threads, mentions and replies, read status, message translation, and timed deletion. It is integrated with the wider Kakao Work suite. The Korean-language pricing page lists a free plan for up to 30 members and paid plans from ₩2,400/user/month on annual billing or ₩2,900 monthly; VAT is extra. Higher tiers bundle features beyond chat, so the listed amounts are suite prices rather than chat-only rates.
Kakao Work is a team messenger for organizations operating in or serving the Korean market. Its official page describes channels and threaded discussion, mentions and replies, read status, translation, and scheduled message deletion. The pricing page lists Free for up to 30 members, then Mini, Standard, and Premium tiers; the entry paid tier is ₩2,400 per user/month with annual billing or ₩2,900 monthly, before VAT. Since paid tiers bundle features across Kakao Work, those prices should not be read as a standalone chat license.
