Why choose Hive or Zulip?
Hive's entry-level price starts at $12 per user per month, while Zulip's is slightly cheaper at $6.67 per user per month. Hive offers a 14-day free trial, while Zulip does not. Both platforms offer a free version, but Hive has add-ons available while Zulip does not. Hive also offers contact management and graphic personalization, while Zulip does not. On the other hand, Zulip has a 1-1 video call, group video calls, whiteboarding, screen sharing, and audio call features that Hive does not have. Overall, both options have their own strengths and weaknesses and it depends on the specific needs of the user.
