The short version

  • Only Flock has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cloze four paid tiers run from $17 to $42 per user per month, and each withholds a different set of features rather than simply adding capacity; Flock the Starter plan only makes the most recent 10,000 messages searchable and caps public channels at 10
  • They diverge on capability: Cloze covers Contact management, Flock covers Team chat.
