Why Teams Are Looking Beyond Claude for Slack

Claude by Anthropic is excellent for reasoning and writing. But when you install Claude for Slack, you're locked into one model family with pricing that's not publicly listed. Here's why teams are switching to Plug and AI.

Don't Lock Your Team Into One Model

Claude is great for reasoning, but GPT-5.2 excels at creative tasks, Gemini has built-in web search, and DeepSeek dominates coding benchmarks. Claude for Slack gives you Claude models only — Opus, Sonnet, Haiku. Plug and AI lets your team use the right model for each task, including Claude.

Transparent, Pay-Per-Use Pricing

Claude for Slack's pricing isn't publicly listed and may require an Anthropic business plan with per-seat fees. Plug and AI: $0/month fixed cost, pay per use with transparent pricing. 90% of your payment becomes usable credits (10% service fee). No hidden fees.

Works on Free Slack Plans

Claude for Slack may require a paid Slack plan for some features. Plug and AI works on free Slack plans — @mentions, DMs, /ai commands, threads, image analysis, and image generation all work without a paid Slack subscription.
