What is Flock?
Flock is a team messaging app that came out of the Directi group in Mumbai. It covers what most Indian offices use every day: one-to-one and group chat, channels, file sharing, video calls and screen sharing, plus built-in notes, reminders, polls and code snippets. For a small agency, a distributor's back office or a startup with fewer than 20 people, the free Starter plan works as a real tool and not just a teaser.
Starter has firm limits. Search covers only the latest 10,000 messages, a team gets 10 public channels and 5 GB of storage in total, there is one admin, and video calls are one-to-one only. Process templates are capped at 3, with 5 runs each. Flock positions PRO for teams of 20 to 100 members. It removes the search and channel caps, gives 10 GB per member and adds group calls with screen sharing. Organisations with 100 or more seats get a quoted Enterprise plan with SSO, Active Directory sync, organisational mapping and HRMS/LMS integration.
Where it falls short: the integration list is short. Flock's features page names Google Drive, Google Calendar, GitHub, Trello, Dropbox, Bitbucket and Google Analytics, which is a small set next to Slack's marketplace. The iOS app is rated 3.8 from just 101 ratings on the US App Store. That is a small base, and the few written reviews there date from 2018-2019 and mention login issues after an email change and repeated Google Drive authorisation prompts.
Buying is simple, but the price is not shown. The pricing page bills PRO per user per month and annual billing works out cheaper, yet it shows no amount or currency, so ask for a rupee quote and confirm GST in writing. PRO has a 30-day trial with no card needed. Indian buyers can pay by net banking as well as card. Guests are free for 90 days and are then billed like members, so audit guest lists before the trial period ends.
What works well
- +Free Starter plan covers teams of up to 20 with unlimited one-to-one and group messages
- +PRO can be trialled for 30 days without entering a credit card
- +Net banking is accepted for customers in India, not only credit cards
- +Security page states SOC 2 compliance, TLS 1.2 encryption and AWS hosting
- +Guest users on paid plans are free for their first 90 days
- +Desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux plus Android and iOS apps
- +Flock API lets teams build slash commands, widgets and sidebar apps
What to watch out for
- −Starter search is capped at the latest 10,000 messages and 10 public channels
- −Group video calls and screen sharing are locked to the paid PRO plan
- −Pricing page shows no amount or currency for the PRO plan
- −Named integrations are few compared with the Slack or Microsoft Teams marketplaces
- −Guests are billed at the full member rate once 90 days pass
- −iOS app has only 101 ratings averaging 3.8 on the US App Store
Best suited for: Indian SMBs under 20 people wanting free team chat · Teams of 20 to 100 that find Slack too expensive · Companies that prefer paying by net banking instead of card

Flock — frequently asked questions
Is Flock free to use?+
Yes. Flock's Starter plan is free for teams of 1 to 20 members, with unlimited one-to-one and group messages, 10 public channels, 5 GB of total team storage and one-to-one video calls. Search reaches only the most recent 10,000 messages, and there is a single team admin, so growing teams usually hit those limits first.
How much does Flock PRO cost in India?+
Flock charges PRO per user per month, and annual billing is cheaper than monthly. When we checked, the pricing page did not show any amount or currency, so Indian buyers should ask Flock for a written rupee quote and confirm whether 18% GST is added on top. Non-profits can ask for special pricing through live chat.
Does Flock offer a free trial?+
Yes. Flock PRO comes with a 30-day free trial and no credit card is needed to start. During the trial your team gets unlimited message search and channels, 10 GB per member, group video calls and screen sharing, so you can test the features that Starter lacks before you pay.
Flock vs Slack: which is better for an Indian team?+
Flock is simpler and accepts net banking in India, and its free plan covers up to 20 members. Slack has a much larger integration marketplace and more workflow tooling. If your team mainly needs chat, channels and calls, Flock is enough. If you connect many SaaS tools, Slack is the safer choice despite costing more.
Is data safe on Flock?+
Flock's security page says it is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts client-server traffic with TLS 1.2 using AES, and hosts its servers on Amazon Web Services. It does not name a hosting region. Enterprise customers also get single sign-on and Active Directory sync, which helps IT teams control who can access company chats.
Can I pay for Flock without a credit card?+
Yes. Besides credit cards, Flock accepts net banking from customers in India, which helps firms whose corporate cards are restricted. PRO subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle and can be cancelled at any time, so set a reminder before the annual renewal date.
Are guest users free on Flock?+
Guests on Flock PRO and Enterprise are free for 90 days from the date they are invited. After that Flock bills them at the same per-user rate as regular members. If you bring in clients or freelancers, review your guest list regularly so old guests do not quietly add to the bill.
Which Flock plan suits a company of 150 people?+
Flock positions Enterprise for organisations with 100 or more members. It is quote-based and adds organisational mapping, custom onboarding, HRMS and LMS integration, Active Directory sync, single sign-on, 20 GB of storage per member and dedicated 24x7 support. A 150-person firm should get both a PRO and an Enterprise quote.
Does Flock have mobile and desktop apps?+
Yes. Flock has Android (4.4 and later) and iOS (9.0 and later) apps, desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, and a web app. The iOS app is rated 3.8 from 101 ratings on the US App Store, so test the mobile apps with your team during the trial.
How long does Flock take to set up?+
A small team can create a Flock workspace, invite colleagues by approved email domain and start chatting the same day. Starter allows one approved domain while PRO allows unlimited domains. Enterprise rollouts with SSO and directory sync come with custom onboarding from Flock, which takes longer to plan.
Where is the Flock login page?+
