vs Slack
Slack is built for workplace collaboration, but some clubs use it for communication. Here's why a purpose-built club platform works better.

What sets us apart
Key features that make a difference for modern clubs and societies
Built for Clubs
Slack is workplace software. communities.one is built for membership organizations with dues, events, and volunteer committees.
Membership & Payments
Collect dues, manage renewals, and track who's a current member. Slack doesn't know who's paid.
Password Vault
When your social media manager changes, hand over credentials securely. Slack doesn't address this common club need.

Slack is excellent for workplace communication. clubs need membership management, payments, and events that Slack doesn't provide.
Some clubs use Slack for chat AND communities.one for operations. But if you want one platform, communities.one handles both communication and club management.
