I was about to propose to deploy this as a company chat to my current boss, the self-hosted edition. So, is this still the best option (considering this can be reverted back, I assume), or should I just seek elsewhere now?


Zulip is recommended by many here. Their mobile app is atrocious though...


10 users for mobile notifications is a non-starter for me. I’d rather host XMPP then, I guess. Or a Matrix server, it seems like it allows the mobile notifications.


Have you worked with both Matrix and Zulip? Looking at both for a small team and wondering which way to go with. Matrix seems more complex to set up and less tailored to function as a Slack alternative. What has been your experience?


Matrix has a really good ansible playbook that's easy to set up and keep updated with all the trimmings like bridges to other networks.

Unfortunately, not yet. I tried all of them locally earlier this year, but very briefly, like 15 minutes each. We use Matrix as our family messenger, which is not self-hosted. It’s mainly for occasional and brief text communication, so I’m not too motivated to go self-hosted, yet I had my plans.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

You’re welcome. Unfortunately, not much to share, really.
