Flock review

Flock is team chat and collaboration software built around channels for project, team, and company-wide conversations. It adds voice and video calls, screen sharing, file sharing, shared notes, to-dos, reminders, and app integrations. The pitch is straightforward: keep team conversations and some day-to-day coordination tools in the same workspace.

The plans scale by team size and add limits around search, channels, storage, calls, and support. Starter is free for teams with 1–20 members. PRO is listed for teams with 20–100 members, and Enterprise for organizations with 100 or more. That means a 20-person team appears in both Starter and PRO’s stated ranges, so check with Flock if you’re right at that boundary.

Flock’s pricing lists a 30-day free trial, but the published pricing details do not say which plan the trial applies to.

Flock’s clearest advantage is the entry price. Starter costs $0, and PRO is $4.50 per user per month with annual billing or $6 per user per month with monthly billing, according to the pricing page. For a team that wants channels, calls, shared notes, to-dos, and reminders without buying separate tools for each, the listed feature set is broad for the price.

The free plan gives small teams a usable starting point: 10,000 searchable messages, 10 public channels, 5 GB of total team storage, one team admin, and 1:1 video calls. It is not just a time-limited demo; Starter is listed at $0 per month. That makes it easier to try Flock with a small group before deciding whether its limits are a problem.

PRO raises the ceilings with unlimited searchable messages and public and private channels, 10 GB of storage per team member, group video calls for up to 20 participants, and 24/7 priority support. Teams already using the listed collaboration tools may find that this covers the basics without moving to Enterprise. Integrations are also included as a feature, though the published material does not name supported apps.

Starter’s caps are concrete: 10 public channels, 10,000 searchable messages, 5 GB of storage for the whole team, and one admin. Calls are limited to 1:1 video. A team that needs private channels, group calls, more storage, or continued message search beyond that allowance will need to assess PRO rather than assume the free plan will stretch.

PRO’s $4.50 rate requires annual billing; paying monthly raises it to $6 per user. Its group video calls cap at 20 participants, and storage is 10 GB per team member. Enterprise increases storage to 20 GB per member and includes single sign-on and 24/7 dedicated support, but its price is custom and not published on the vendor's site.

There is also a guest cost to plan for: PRO and Enterprise guests are free for 90 days, then charged at the same rate as regular team members. That can change the economics for teams that rely on outside collaborators. The pricing page does not specify which plan the listed 30-day trial covers.

Flock’s Starter plan is free for teams with 1–20 members. It includes 10,000 searchable messages, 10 public channels, 5 GB of storage per team, one admin and 1:1 video calls. The caps matter: teams that need more public channels or searchable history will need to move up.

PRO costs $6 per user per month on monthly billing, or $4.50 per user per month billed annually. That’s a $1.50 monthly per-user difference, in exchange for committing to annual billing. PRO adds unlimited searchable messages and channels, 10 GB of storage per member, group video calls for up to 20 participants and priority support. Flock lists a 30-day free trial, but the published pricing details don’t specify its scope.

Enterprise is for organizations with 100+ members, with custom pricing not published. One guest gotcha: PRO and Enterprise guests are free for 90 days, then charged at the regular member rate. That can change the math for teams with long-term external collaborators.

Flock’s channels, calls, file sharing, notes and to-dos give teams several work habits to move—not just chat history. But the published product and pricing details don’t explain whether Flock imports conversations or files from another service, or what export options it offers. Confirm migration and data-export support with Flock before switching; we can’t verify those details from the available material.

The clearest reasons to reconsider are the plan limits and billing trade-offs: Starter caps searchable messages and public channels, while PRO’s lower listed price requires annual billing. Long-term guests also become paid seats after 90 days on PRO and Enterprise. Those are potential friction points, not reported reasons from users: no Reddit posts or comments were published for this review, so we can’t attribute a switching trend to Reddit. Before leaving, check what data you can export and whether your team’s shared notes, to-dos and files can be retained; the published material doesn’t specify that process.
