What is Pumble?

Pumble is a Slack-style team chat app from CAKE.com with channels, direct messages, threads and calls. Its free plan covers an unlimited number of users with unlimited message history and 10 GB of storage per workspace. Paid plans start at $2.49 per seat a month billed annually. Apps are available for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

Pros: what Pumble does well

  • Free plan keeps your full message history
  • Unlimited users on the free plan
  • Familiar Slack-like layout, so teams switch easily

Cons: where it falls short

  • Fewer third-party integrations than Slack
  • Storage is capped at 10 GB per workspace on the free plan

Who Pumble is for

Small teams that outgrew Slack's 90-day history on the free plan.

Who can skip it

Teams that depend on many Slack integrations.
