Why choose Mattermost or Rocket.Chat?
In terms of pricing, Mattermost has an entry-level price of $10/user/month, while Rocket.Chat offers a free version with no entry-level price. However, Rocket.Chat's free trial is only 30 days compared to Mattermost's absence of a free trial. Both platforms offer essential chat and collaboration features such as file sharing, mentions, groups/channels, and user profile management. Rocket.Chat has an advantage in offering workspace and user activity tracking, voice messages, and newsfeed features, while Mattermost offers support for add-ons, custom domain names, and "do not disturb" mode. Overall, both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them will depend on the specific needs of the organization.
