Slack alternative
A Slack alternative built for small teams
Adda is a Slack alternative for teams that want chat and the rest of their work in one place. You get channels, DMs, threads and calls, plus project boards, documents, goals, a whiteboard and a calendar, in a private workspace that a person sets up for you. Teams under 10 people pay nothing and need no credit card.
