Twist review

Twist is for remote teams that find Slack too noisy and want written, thread-first discussion that people answer when they are ready. Its pricing page contrasts Slack's one line at a time chat with Twist threads that keep discussions on-topic and in context, and the company describes itself as independent and bootstrapped. The free plan covers up to 500 internal members and 500 external guests but only shows 1 month of comments and messages, with up to 5 integrations and 5 GB of storage. Twist says older messages stay stored on its servers and come back after an upgrade. The Unlimited plan costs US$6 a user a month billed yearly, or US$8 monthly, and adds full history, unlimited integrations, unlimited file storage and priority support. Prices can be shown in 10 currencies. The tradeoff is the format itself: teams that rely on quick real-time chat, huddles or video calls will need another tool alongside it.
