Once I spent time looking at the different options I found the contact details of who I needed to connect with. > > **Cons**: There are lots of options and often notifications are not relevant to me. That is all I can think of. > > It's the first time I have used an app like this in my Contract Social Work. It took a bit to get used to it ----- ### "Very happy with Pumble\!" — 5.0/5 > **Cherry** | *26 August 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. Comprehensive free plan. Can make (most) channels private if you invite a third party like a VA. > > **Cons**: Pumble automatically added our new VA to our \#general channel, which we didn't really want, and it turns out you can't make that channel private on the free version. > > We were looking for a low-cost, robust chat and messaging system to use for our small business. Pumble has turned out to be excellent for us and is giving us everything we need. We've used Slack, Teams, and other systems in the past and Pumble is as good as, probably better, than any of those for our needs. We're also now working with a remote VA who we've added to our account. She says it's very easy to use even though she's never come across the product before. We're on the free plan and that's exactly what we need for now. ----- ### "Excellent Chat App Beats Slack" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *25 May 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Chats that don't disappear\! Slack-like appearance without the slack price-tag. > > **Cons**: Sometimes small bugs, but nothing really that drives me away from it. It is the best out there for our needs. > > Pumble has been a god-send. We have utilized it for consistent communication and overall it's performed flawlessly. We recommend this app to anyone who wants to get a chat communication started. We will continue to use Pumble as our team grows until we find something that we can't get from it and could get elsewhere (nothing yet). ----- ### "Reliable chat" — 5.0/5 > **Tuma** | *9 September 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support: Quick, friendly replies; clear help docs. Learning Curve: Super easy—new hires onboard in minutes. Security: Solid basics (roles, 2FA, permissions) for SMB needs. Bugs \& Issues: Rare; fixes roll out fast when they pop up. File Sharing: Drag-and-drop is smooth; previews fine for common formats. Remote Work: Stable across mixed networks; presence/status helps coordination. Meetings: Built-in calls are perfect for quick huddles and ad-hoc syncs > > **Cons**: Fewer native integrations than bigger competitors Video/voice meetings feel basic compared to Zoom/Teams File previews can be slow with large files Admin controls are good but not very granular Occasional sync hiccups on mobile when switching networks > > Pumble does the core job very well: quick team chat without bloat. Our onboarding was smooth, and day-to-day messaging is snappy. It’s perfect for small to mid-size teams that mostly need channels, DMs, and simple file sharing. If your workflow depends on deep integrations, advanced compliance, or heavy video meetings, you may feel its limits but for focused, reliable collaboration, it’s a win. ----- ### "Pumble Review as a new user" — 3.0/5 > **Richard** | *5 September 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's similar to Discord and Slack, and it doesn't appear to have the 90-day message history expiry date. It's pretty easy to learn because it's similar, and it holds similar login methods to the previously mentioned apps. > > **Cons**: I don't appreciate getting emails about new users joining, as well as how there was no underline to turn them off in the messages from Pumble (it felt as if it was not clickable). I also don't appreciate the many tabs above the channels; I feel as if it clutters the UI. There doesn't appear to be any voice call channels (at least in my server). > > So far for my first few days with Pumble, it's satisfactory. I do wish it to be more like Discord (possibly even the members tab to be on the right). Nothing really stands out to make it unique, but it feels functional. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/218055/pumble?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/218055/pumble) ## 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 | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
