Pricing checked: Oct 6, 2026
Official factConfidence 96%1 linked source
Unlimited has two billing schedules. All members in a team share one plan; multi-channel guests are chargeable. No minimum contract is stated in the billing FAQ.
Official pricing pageCommercial scope needs confirmation
Current official sources describe an offer or purchase route differently. The page remains usable, but affected price schema is withheld until the scope is resolved.
- The Twist billing FAQ permits a full refund for cancellation within 30 days, while the terms effective August 27, 2026 generally make fees non-refundable except as required by law. Confirm the applicable policy before buying.
Pricing cautions
- Paid guest collaboration: Multi-channel guests incur the member rate; single-channel guests are free.
- Different tiers within one team: Free and Unlimited members cannot be mixed in the same team.
- Canceling an Unlimited subscription: The billing FAQ says cancellation immediately changes the team to Free and applies its one-month access window.
- Relying on a refund: The 30-day refund answer and newer general non-refund terms differ. Confirm before purchase.

Messaging flow quality25%
86Threaded discussions, direct messages and channels support asynchronous exchanges, while teams should confirm how that structure handles urgent real-time coordination.
Collaboration context workflows15%
76Invited guests can be restricted to channels, supporting bounded external collaboration; verify that the channel model covers the handoffs and shared work your team needs.
Conversation organization and search15%
84The inbox and threaded discussions organize ongoing topics; Free exposes only one month of history, so teams needing older searchable context should assess Unlimited.
Notification and attention control15%
84Configurable notifications and an inbox for relevant threads help users manage attention; teams should test whether the available controls match their priority and availability policies.
App workflow continuity10%
74Five integrations are included on Free and Unlimited lists no integration cap; confirm that the specific workplace connections provide the required data flow.
Chat administration and governance10%
77Channel-restricted guest access supports controlled participation, while a team must share one plan and cannot mix Free and Unlimited members; align governance and purchasing boundaries before rollout.
Reliability and scale experience10%
68Thread and inbox organization can help teams navigate ongoing discussions, but Free limits accessible history to one month; confirm archive needs and retention expectations for the selected plan.
