Twist

Distraction-free team communication

Visit Twist

Overview

What Twist does

Twist is an alternative to Slack focused on asynchronous communication. Organize conversations by topics and reduce the constant notifications for a more focused work environment.

What people use it for

  • Asynchronous threaded team communication for distributed teams
  • Keeping decisions in searchable threads rather than a real time chat stream
  • Coordinating across time zones without expecting immediate replies

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 Twist.

  • The free plan only exposes the last 1 month of comments and messages; older history is hidden until you upgrade
  • The free plan caps integrations at 5 and file storage at 5 GB
  • Full message history, unlimited integrations, unlimited storage and priority support all require the Unlimited plan at US$6 per user per month
  • Both plans cap the workspace at 500 internal member accounts and 500 external guest accounts

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Twist, 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. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
