Slack vs Zoom
Slack vs Zoom — which to pick, what each costs, and how to track either (or both) for free. Add each one in two clicks, pick the price and currency you actually pay, and SubRemind shows the combined cost in your base currency on the dashboard. Both services live in the Productivity category, so they share the same colour band on the donut chart.

FAQ
Can I track Slack and Zoom at the same time in SubRemind?
Yes. There's no limit on subscriptions or overlap between categories. Add Slack and Zoom as two separate entries; both will appear in your monthly total, your projection chart, and the upcoming-30-days list.
What if Slack bills me in a different currency than Zoom?
That's fine. SubRemind converts each subscription into your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so a Slack sub in one currency and a Zoom sub in another will both appear correctly in your aggregate stats.
Will SubRemind tell me whether to keep Slack or Zoom?
No — SubRemind shows you the cost picture but never recommends cancellations. After running both for a month or two, look at the category donut and the upcoming-30-days view to decide which one earns its monthly cost.
Are free trials for Slack and Zoom tracked separately?
Yes. Each subscription has its own trial state. You can have Slack on a free trial while Zoom is on a paid plan; only the paid one will count toward this month's total.
