The short version

  • Only Flock has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Flock the Starter plan only makes the most recent 10,000 messages searchable and caps public channels at 10; Freedcamp plans are differentiated mainly by file upload size, at 10 MB on free, 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business and 250 MB on Enterprise
  • They diverge on capability: Flock covers Team chat, Freedcamp covers Tasks.
