Feels like it fits under here and they have a 'Lite' plan which is free (slack.com/pricing) and perfectly suitable for getting started with limitations placed on the # of integrations and # of messaged retained in the search index. About 60% of the teams I'm joined to are using the Lite plan and don't pay. Seems to work for them. Thoughts or comments?
free-for-dev
Developers and Open Source authors now have a massive amount of services offering free tiers but it can be hard to find them all in order to make informed decisions.
This then is a list of software, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS etc offerings that have free tiers for devs.
You can help by sending Pull Requests to add more services. Once I have a good set of link in this README file I'll look into a better layout for the information and links, help with that appreciated too.
If you're not inclined to make PRs you can tweet me at @ripienaar
