Summary
Slack's 2025 Salesforce-driven pricing restructure broke trust with long-time customers. The Hack Club incident (charges raised by 195k per year) became a public symbol. Core product remains widely loved, but the price-trust gap is the single biggest churn driver and is widening.
Priority Action
Reverse or grandfather the most punitive 2025 pricing changes for long-tenure customers. The product still wins on UX. The brand is bleeding from the pricing surface, not the product surface.
Financial impact
At your current churn rate, you're losing approximately $2,971/mo in recurring revenue.
