We used the free version for over a year with a total of 40 people. You will likely hit the 10,000 message limit, but if you remove old or extraneous messages, you can manage that.

There is also a limit to the number of Apps that can be integrated in the free version.

Because of our nonprofit status, we were able to get the Slack Standard Plan for free. It's working out very well.

We're using the free version with a slightly larger group. There are additional features available with the paid version. The only one which has caused us to consider a paid version was an enhanced polling/survey capability. We've been able to meet our needs with reactions and similar other features. My recommendation is to try out the free version, and only go to the paid version if you find that free Slack ALMOST works for you.

For teams skeptical of Slack, I encourage you to just try it, and see how useful it is to you. Although it seems simple, it can replace almost all other avenues of communication.

If you pay (or have a nonprofit) for the standard version of Slack, you can invite guests to different channels. This is extremely useful as you can create channels to talk with other teams/parents/sponsors and they only have access to that one channel. Us and 4561 had a channel after we became friends with them at our second district event and we chatted on that all through the rest of the season. Really great software.

You should check out the simple poll integration for slack. It makes polling super simple in slack and students like how they reply by just clicking on a number in the thread. It is super simple, fast and easy.
