Why choose Microsoft Teams or Zulip?
In terms of pricing, Microsoft Teams' entry-level price is $4/month/user, while Zulip's is slightly higher at $6.67/user/month. Microsoft Teams also offers a free trial period of 1 month, along with a free version and add-ons, while Zulip only offers a free version. Both platforms offer similar features such as chat, file sharing, and group video calls, but Microsoft Teams has more options like voice messages, polls, and breakout rooms, while Zulip lacks features such as threads, subtitles and translations, and task management. Overall, both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them would depend on the specific needs of the user.
