Instead of charging per user like most tools, Rock charges one flat price for unlimited users. You can add your whole team, plus clients, freelancers, and partners, without your bill going up. There are two plans: Free and Unlimited. Free plan: $0 per month The Free plan is a complete workspace at no cost, ideal for small teams and new projects. It includes unlimited messaging, unlimited 1:1 spaces, and 3 group spaces, with up to 5 members and 250 MB of storage per space, 50 tasks and 50 notes per space, and 1 workspace. Each space comes with a task board (List, Board, and Calendar views), notes, and meeting integrations for Zoom, Google Meet, and Jitsi. You can connect cloud apps like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Figma, and link ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor through native MCP support, all for free. Unlimited plan: $89 per month, or $74.92 per month billed yearly (save 16%) The Unlimited plan removes every limit and unlocks Rock's advanced tools, at one flat price for unlimited users. You get unlimited spaces, tasks, notes, and file storage, plus up to 50 workspaces and 500 members per space. It adds Sprints (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), custom fields, recurring tasks, and task export, along with a time tracker, calendar (iCal) sync, scheduled messages, Pinboard, and duplicate space. For automation and AI, you get webhooks, Zapier, and the Custom API to connect any model as a bot, with bring-your-own-key and no AI surcharge. Workspace admin controls and priority support are included. Why flat pricing saves you money Because Rock does not charge per seat, your cost stays the same as your team grows. A 20-person team on Rock pays one flat price, which can save around $1,740 per year compared with per-user tools. The bigger your team and client list, the more you save. Clients and freelancers are always free On both plans, you can add external users from any organization to a space at no extra cost, with full access to messages, tasks, and files. There are no per-guest fees, so collaborating with clients never increases your bill. Which plan is right for you The Free plan works well for small teams, freelancers, and new projects that need chat and basic task management. The Unlimited plan is the better fit for growing agencies and client teams that need Sprints, automation, more storage, and room to add many members and workspaces without per-seat costs. - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Linux (Desktop), Chromebook (Desktop), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English, Spanish - **Available Countries**: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize and 206 more ## Features - @mentions - Access Controls/Permissions - Activity Dashboard - Alerts/Notifications - Audio Calls - Calendar Management - Chat/Messaging - Collaboration Tools - Commenting/Notes - Content Management - Customisable Templates - Discussions/Forums - Document Management - Gantt/Timeline View - Live Chat - Meeting Management - Mobile Access - Remote Support Software - Reporting & Statistics - Resource Allocation & Planning - Search/Filter - Task Management - Video Chat - Video Conferencing ## Integrations (14 total) - Adobe Creative Cloud - Dropbox Business - Figma - GitHub - Google Drive - Google Meet - Jitsi - Miro - Notion - OneDrive - Rollbar - Smartsheet - Zapier - Zoom Workplace ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Chat ## Category - [Team Communication Software](https://www.capterra.co.nz/directory/31033/team-communication/software) ## Related Categories - [Team Communication Software](https://www.capterra.co.nz/directory/31033/team-communication/software) - [Nonprofit Project Management Software](https://www.capterra.co.nz/directory/32439/project-management-software-for-nonprofits/software) - [Collaboration Software](https://www.capterra.co.nz/directory/15/collaboration/software) - [Remote Work Software](https://www.capterra.co.nz/directory/31855/remote-work/software) ## Alternatives 1.

It has always felt as if something was missing from either the project management side of things, the team communication side of things – or both. Until I came across Rock. The one thing that I consider my favorite aspect is the fact that you can use Rock to both organize your work (manage projects, assign tasks, take notes, etc.) but can communicate with every member of your team, both synchronously and asynchronously. This last point, in particular, is key for the fact quite many team communication tools only put emphasis on synchronous communication. However, especially in the cases of remote teams with members who are in different time zones, asynchronous communication is the way to go. That's why I appreciate about Rock, and I think this is something that makes it a potential online business hub for businesses of all kinds. And if this wasn't enough, there are the mini-apps and integrations with the likes of Google Drive and Zoom, which let you use Rock in combination with them. > > **Cons**: If I had to mention something I'd like to be different in Rock are the available views. I think that being able to switch from one view to another is an excellent way to see a project from different perspectives – brid's eye view, zooming in on a specific part of the project, see important dates and deadlines in a calendar, etc. Rock does offer a few views, I think having additional ones could be more beneficial. ----- ### "Using Rock replacing Slack" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 February 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use. Quick to setup and basically got all the functions we need to run a collaboration between team members. > > **Cons**: Searching function can be improved to allow jumping to certain point of the conversation. So we can view back the conversation just before or after the searched messages. > > Great tools to use while team members are all working from home. ----- ### "Sudeen surprise in plans and pricing" — 1.0/5 > **Anjaneyulu** | *16 January 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pricing is increased suddenly, it is big chunk for any individual and small businesses > > **Cons**: elastic search is won't work. and ui need to improve a lot > > elastic search is won't work ----- ### "Awesome for freelancers looking for an all-in-one app" — 5.0/5 > **Coralie** | *25 January 2021* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Rock is really easy to use especially working with external organizations and clients as I can just invite them to a space, share documents, tasks and even set up video meetings. I like the fact that you can discuss within tasks, avoiding the back and forth between a project management software and a communication app. > > **Cons**: Just love the product for now but looking for more integrations with other tools. > > As a freelancer I work on several projects at the same time with many different people and organization. I use Rock to organize every project in different space, inviting the people I work with. We share plan, tasks, files, and they can follow my workflow, which task is completed or not etc. The massive change compare to Trello and Slack I've been using is that we can discuss at the task level. This means if I'm working on a project with several tasks, we don't have to have endless emails discussing them one by one, the client can just add inputs or comment within the task. ----- ### "Go to App for your team and tasks management needs" — 5.0/5 > **Kaushik** | *15 February 2022* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We do our weekly planning through the app. One thing that I've liked the most about the software is that it'll send the team notifications about the tasks to be done through the whole week. It also send daily tasks reminders as well\! > > **Cons**: While attaching files to a task we need to add individually. Multi File selection is required. > > Very Satisfied. Has solved our team and task management needs. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/214278/rock?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/214278/rock) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
