Slack is $45/user/month

Soon you'll be able to write, host, and maintain a fully customizable version for probably 20k/month

If you have a lot of employees this makes sense

If people wanted to do this theyd be self hosting xmpp servers already. No one wants to write and maintain the code and infra for things like this, you are grossly underestimating the effort involved here.

We've had xmpp for decades; the issue is that companies don't want to be responsible for it not that they can't do it

What features are you using that the $18/user/month plan doesn't cover?
