Slack price increase 2022: the first Pro price change since 2014

Slack raised the price of its Pro plan on September 1, 2022. On monthly billing, Pro went from $8 to $8.75 per user a month. On annual billing, it went from $6.67 to $7.25. Slack called it the first price increase since it launched in 2014. Live plan data is on the Slack pricing page on SaaS Price Watch, and today's seat math is in our Slack pricing per user guide.

Old and new prices

USD list prices per user a month, from the Slack announcement.

Per user over a year, Pro on annual billing went from $80.04 to $87. Pro on monthly billing went from $96 to $105.

For a 10-person team on annual billing, Pro went from $800.40 to $870 a year. That is $69.60 more a year. On monthly billing, the same team pays $1,050 a year, which is $90 more than before.

The Pro prices from 2022 match the live Slack pricing page on October 25, 2026: $8.75 on monthly billing and $7.25 on annual billing. Slack raised Business+ in 2025. That change is on our Slack 2025 price increase page.

What Slack said

The post announced "our first price increase since we launched in 2014" and set the amount "at 75 cents or less per user." It adds: "This increase will only affect users on our Pro plan."

The same post changed the Free plan on the same date. Free workspaces moved to 90 days of message history.

Who it hits and when

• Pro on monthly billing paid $8.75 per user a month from September 1, 2022.
• Pro on annual billing paid $7.25 per user a month from September 1, 2022, at the next renewal.
• Annual Pro customers could lock in $6.67 for one more year by renewing before September 1, per the post.
• Monthly Pro customers could switch to annual billing before September 1 and keep the old annual rate for a year.
• Business+ and Enterprise Grid are not part of this change. The post says it affects users on the Pro plan, and The Verge reported the same.

What to do before your renewal

1. Check your plan and billing cycle in Slack under Billing.
2. Count active members. Slack credits inactive members under its fair billing policy.
3. Compare monthly and annual billing. On Pro, annual billing saves $18 per user a year at today's prices.
