    Slack limits itself to specific workspaces of teams. If you want to communicate between organizations or teams, shared channels are hard to setup and manage. AirSend doesn't have those issues.

    Slack is a communication/chat tool. Basecamp is project management.

    It is completely free for education users, and allows deeper integration with files and documents, allowing chat to be just that: chat. It also allows for several levels of organization and just about everything is customizable.
