## About

Pumble is a team messaging and collaboration tool built by COING Inc., the company behind time-tracking tool Clockify and project management tool Plaky. Launched in 2021, Pumble offers a Slack-like experience (channels, direct messages, threads, file sharing, voice calls) with a genuinely free plan that includes unlimited message history, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious teams that need more than Slack's free 90-day message limit. The platform is particularly popular with agencies, small businesses, and teams in cost-sensitive markets. Pumble competes directly with Slack and Teams for SMB users who prioritize value.

## FAQs

### Is Pumble really free?

Yes, with no message history limit. This is the key difference from Slack, which limits search to 90 days on the free plan. Pumble Free supports unlimited users and unlimited messages.

### How does Pumble compare to Slack?

Pumble is significantly cheaper and offers unlimited message history on the free plan. Slack has a vastly larger app ecosystem (2,000+ integrations), better mobile apps, and more mature features. Pumble is the right choice for teams where cost is the primary constraint.
