The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Flock.
- The Starter plan only makes the most recent 10,000 messages searchable and caps public channels at 10
- Starter storage is 5 GB for the entire team, against 10 GB per member on Pro and 20 GB per member on Enterprise
- Starter allows a single team admin and a single approved domain
- Group video calls and screen sharing require the Pro plan; Starter is limited to 1-1 video calls
- Group video calls are capped at 20 participants even on Enterprise
- Single Sign-On and Active Directory sync are Enterprise only
- Enterprise is quote only, with no published rate, and is positioned for organisations with 100 or more members
- Unlimited auto-join and announcement channels require Enterprise; Starter and Pro get one of each

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Flock, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
