The Problem

Why teams leave Microsoft Teams

Bundled pricing obscures the real cost of Teams

Microsoft 365 ecosystem lock-in

Performance issues and high resource consumption

Admin complexity for managing policies and permissions

Feature bloat — Teams tries to be everything

Integration with non-Microsoft tools is secondary

Your custom communication tool

Focused communication platform without M365 lock-in

Chat, channels, and video conferencing

Document collaboration with your storage

Custom integrations with any tool stack

Lightweight — doesn't require enterprise infrastructure

Privacy-first — your data on your servers
