Try it with a small team before moving.

Write down the team’s requirements before you start. Review the issues you encounter and any connections you still need during the trial.

  1. List what needs to move

    Which messages, files, shared documents, and tasks do you need? List historical content and integrations separately.

  2. Test access with real accounts

    Try a member, administrator, and external participant where needed. Check what each person can see and which actions they can take.

  3. Compare equivalent plans

    Use the same team size and billing period. Include capacity, storage, and required add-ons in the total cost.

Before you decide.

Can we automatically import our Slack data into Coplace?

This guide does not promise an automatic or complete import. First list the messages, files, users, and app connections you need to move, then confirm the technical scope with our team.

How should we compare prices?

Use the same team size and billing period. Compare meeting capacity, storage, administration, and any add-ons you need. Check Coplace’s current prices on its pricing page and the other product’s terms on its official site.

Can we run Coplace on our own servers?

Discuss Coplace deployment options with our team. Review hosting, backups, updates, and access requirements in a technical conversation.

Which project should we try first?

Choose a small project the team knows. Open a channel, share a file, have a short meeting, and record the outcome in a shared note and task. Ask a new teammate to find that information too.

Compare other tools too.

Try Coplace with your own project.

Open a workspace or discuss your organization’s installation and migration requirements with our team.
