The short version

  • Only Skedda has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Rocket.Chat no prices, tier names with numbers, or minimum seats are published anywhere on the pricing page; all three paid editions (Commercial, Government, Defense) route to Contact sales or Contact us; Skedda pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Rocket.Chat

  • No prices, tier names with numbers, or minimum seats are published anywhere on the pricing page; all three paid editions (Commercial, Government, Defense) route to Contact sales or Contact us
  • The free community edition is not represented on the pricing page at all, which lists only the three quote-only enterprise tiers

Skedda

  • Pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • All published plans are quoted billed annually, with no monthly rate shown
  • The rules and roles engine is basic on Starter and limited on Plus; the full engine requires Premier
  • The insights dashboard is limited on the Starter plan
  • Assigned spaces and unlimited custom fields require the Premier plan
  • A dedicated account manager, legal agreement flexibility and white glove implementation are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price
  • Every plan, including the cheapest, routes through Talk to Sales rather than self-serve checkout
