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; TeamViewer pricing page gates all figures behind plan selection with no listed price for its Teams and Tensor Enterprise tiers, which are described as a fully customized license requiring sales contact
