Affordable Slack Alternative in India
If you want off Slack without the dollar bill, Wokay is the one. It is priced in rupees with flat packs, starts free for up to 5 people, and the Starter Pack is ₹14,999 a month for 25 people (about ₹420 per person on annual billing).
Why it costs less than Slack
Priced in rupees
₹14,999 covers 25 people for a month. No dollar billing and no conversion markup.
Flat, not per seat
Slack charges for every seat. Wokay sells a pack, so adding a few people does not change your bill.
Free to begin
The free plan covers up to 5 people with 5 GB of space, so a small team can move over at no cost.

Best value: the Growth Pack on annual billing
It is the pack growing teams pick most: room for 60 people, and chat, projects, tasks, and the intranet all together. Pay yearly and it is the cheapest way to run it.
That is ₹20,999 a month for 60 people, roughly ₹350 per person.
Get the Growth Pack- 60 people included
- 200 GB workspace
- Chat, projects, tasks, and intranet
- Unlimited chat history
Every paid pack is 30% cheaper on annual billing, so the Starter and Enterprise packs save you the same way.
Why is Wokay the affordable choice?
Wokay is priced in rupees as flat packs, so you dodge both per seat dollar billing and the conversion markup. The Starter Pack is ₹14,999 a month for 25 people, and the Growth Pack is ₹29,999 a month for 60 people. The bill stays steady as you fill up the pack.
What is in the free plan?
The Free Chat App is free for up to 5 people, with 5 GB of space and 6 months of chat history. It is a low risk way for a small Indian team to drop Slack before moving up to a paid pack.
Cheaper, without losing the essentials
A lower price does not mean a thin product. Wokay keeps the chat basics (channels, DMs, threads, file sharing) and adds projects and tasks on the paid packs. The full breakdown is in our Wokay vs Slack comparison.
Drop Slack, keep the rupees
Free for up to 5 people. No card needed.
