Having used both paid and free service (of slack), I’d say the paid service makes a lot of sense for corporates. a public forum like this I believe a free tier would suffice — unless we are looking for an option of having >10k messages for searching + >5gb of storage [1]. This is just my opinion, but people think otherwise and I believe some-biased opinions on Flock too[2].
