Hi. Iain - Founder of 8seats here! We've totally reimagined how a UI for team chat works after getting frustated oursselves with other apps! Just tap and swipe to get to your team chats. So many features to come :) We'd really appreciate comments, feedback. Please test drive us and we will do everything to turn this into a product you want to use.

@scar_qin Thanks so much. Love feedback!!!!

Great solution for small business / small teams looking for a slick and much more efficient way of managing Enterprise-grade chat. It's like WhatsApp and Slack had a super-smart baby. Great app team.

@sahithkrishna_an Hi Sahith - reL business pricing - this will be out this week. There will be a free version and a version for $3.99 AUD (Approx $2.50 USD) pm/per user (which is about 1/4 the price of some other well known tools). Cost of a cup of coffee! Free trials etc. It's also free for guests and customers to add to your workspace. Hope this helps!

congrats on the launch! 🚀 So for each combination of people selected, there's a separate chat history like if you'd manually created a chat with them? Do you highlight which combinations of people have chat history in some way? As otherwise seems it'd be hard to find the selections you'd used before.

@jonnymiles Thanks! The feedback is very helpful :) We have a lot more features coming that will help you find chat history between different users. Your point is well made and I 100% agree. Couple of things to help in the meantime: In the app, that swiping left<> right takes you through recent conversations on a table quickly. Use DM's (which you can compose like an email) to put conversations under subjects etc Search - let's you find things. Tagging things with emojis is a handy tip (bit of a hack people use in many other apps) Please keep the feedback coming!

8seats looks like a super cool way to organize team chats! Those "Tables" seem way more efficient than endless channels. Gonna give this a try with my team ASAP! 🔥

Loving the interface and easy onboarding, and iOS + Android at launch! Looks great on large Android screens like Samsung Fold, much better than the "others"

Is it free to use or paid?

@bridgekode Hi - thanks for the question! - FREE version which does all the core messaging, with just some limitations on how many tables you can have. Unlimited rooms and DMs. So basically all the features you get in other free chat apps + some new things like tables where you can switch between conversations. - A paid version is due out soon which has specific business features $3.99AU (approx $2.70 USD p/m). Guests can be added to business accounts for free (when you need to add a lawyer, handyman, customer, supplier etc). So you only need to pay for your team and only if you need the features.

Great product. Keep everything in one place. Easy to use. Really great for teams. Can’t wait to layer in our own AI to add rocket fuel to our productivity around product launches and team support.

@nabuai Thanks Steve! Glad to hear you're finding it easy to use and great for your team. Looking forward to working with you to rocket fuel your productivity.
