Flock
Flock gives small teams one shared space for messaging, video calls, and project tools at a fraction of what Slack costs.
Overview
Flock is a team communication platform that combines channels, video calls, file sharing, and built-in productivity tools in one place. The free Starter plan covers teams up to 20 people with unlimited direct messages and 5 GB of storage. Teams of 20 to 100 can upgrade to the Pro plan at $4.50 per user per month when billed annually, which unlocks unlimited message search, group video calls for up to 20 participants, screen sharing, 10 GB of storage per member, and 24/7 priority support. Flock also includes polls, reminders, shared notes, to-dos, and unlimited third-party integrations on the Pro plan. The platform is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts data with TLS 1.2, and runs on AWS. Flock supports Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome, so your team can use it on any device.

Why this SMB score
Flock earns an 8 out of 10 for small businesses because it delivers a strong feature set at $4.50 per user per month, includes built-in productivity tools that reduce the need for extra apps, and offers a genuinely usable free plan, though the guest billing policy and uptime guarantee gap on lower tiers hold it back from a perfect score.
