When is Slack the better fit?
Slack has thousands of integrations and built-in voice and video calls. If you need those, Slack is a good choice. Mailify suits teams who want chat where their email already is. Voice and video are coming later.

Questions and answers
Can I invite people who don't use Mailify?
No. Groups is for Mailify users, so everyone in a group has an account with us. They can be in your company or another one.
Who can see the messages?
Only the members of the group. Messages and files are stored encrypted in Norway, and Webies doesn't read them.
Do new members see old messages?
Yes. Channels work as a log, so new members see the whole history.
One app for the whole team.
Email, Groups, Calendar, Tasks and Pages, at one price.
