    Slack is a communication/chat tool. Basecamp is project management.

    It is completely free for education users, and allows deeper integration with files and documents, allowing chat to be just that: chat. It also allows for several levels of organization and just about everything is customizable.

    It's free, doesn't limit search history, call duration or screen sharing. It even has more features than slack like built-in calendar and cloud storage.

    One of the best Slack alternatives. It's more private due to being hosted in Germany (and therefore under German law), and even more so because unlike Slack it offers end-to-end encrypted messaging, which means what you say to your colleagues cannot be intercepted by the host company or given away to the NSA.
