I believe this is the correct solution to communication. I don't like how Slack organise that and I believe that Twist is better on that. > > **Cons**: The software is still an early release. There are some features are not perfect, or missing, or not implemented. They are releasing new features often but there is still a lot to do\! ----- ### "A Great Tool for Asynchronous Internal Communication" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 December 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using Twist as our primary tool for internal communication and have been very happy with the service.One of the things we appreciate most about Twist is that it is an asynchronous platform, which means that we don't have to worry about being bombarded with notifications all day. This has helped us to be more productive and focus on our work.We also use the free tier of Twist and have found that it meets most of our needs. It is a great way to keep our team organized and on the same page without having to spend a lot of money. > > **Cons**: One potential downside to Twist is that it is not as feature-rich as some other communication tools on the market. However, for our team, the free tier provides more than enough features to get the job done.Additionally, it would be nice if there was a cheaper paid tier as an intermediate option. This would allow us to access more features without having to pay for the full-featured paid plan. ----- ### "Wanted a Slack alternative, but couldn't find it here." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 May 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The design is pretty clean, and the app definitely feels focused down to purely communication. The website is pretty clear on its functionality and feature availability across pricing tiers. > > **Cons**: Perhaps I just need to retrain my brain, now that I've been using Slack and Hipchat so much, but I found the overall experience to be pretty confusing. I used Twist to kickstart a project at work and hoped to use that as a way to learn the app and create buy-in across the organization, but after using it I realized it wouldn't replace the functionality Slack provides. > > Not many. It did help me realize just how ingrained Slack has become in our company, for better or for worse. ----- ### "A Twist On Collaborative Communication" — 5.0/5 > **Miguel** | *24 June 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: At first glance, Twist looks very familiar to its competitors. But upon closer examination, it has some significant improvements over them. For starters, it has a very sophisticated search engine that goes beyond basic searches in the threaded conversations. With all the power of its competitors, it keeps much of the noise inherent in collaborative communication tools to a very low minimum. How does Twist keep conversations better organized? It uses channels and threads. Unlike competitors who are setup for a long thread in a channel, Twist lets you create channels with multiple threads to isolate relevant conversations into individual threads. This helps cut down on the noise a little and allows you to keep an eye on the thread with more importance. Another cool feature is its integration to their ToDoist product. You can add conversations as To-Do or Tasks in ToDoist right from Twist. Need to integrate with other applications? This is simple, too. Choose from a hand full of their existing application integrations, or Zapier, which adds hundreds more to the list. Twist is very easy to setup and very easy to use. If you have ever used a collaborative communication tool in the past, you got this. > > **Cons**: Could not find a Con I could speak on behalf of. With a free test account to start with, all the features known to collaborative communication tools, and a few perks that keeps the noise down... Twist truly has not Cons. > > I thought that I had seen them all. But something as simple as creating multiple threads within a channel was bright enough to justify the development of yet another tool. It truly does help keep you focused and ignore the noise from the content you seek. Its search features are great with more variables to choose from than one can desire. And it's integration with my favorite To-Do list (ToDoist), this pretty much puts the icing on the cake. ----- ### "Project management solution" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 November 2022* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can be adapted to any department in the company to collaborate and manage your project efficiently. It organizes the topics in such a way as to ensure progress. > > **Cons**: I would like to have more features like monday.com > > The user experience is very well thought out. It's simple and effective. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/318975/twist?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/318975/twist) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
