U$ 240 &#x2F; month is not cheap, and I&#x27;d seriously consider an alternative or asking for a discount, but it&#x27;s nowhere near the price of an office in Sao Paulo or Porto Alegre (I live in Uruguay and was looking for office space in Sao Paulo earlier this year).<p>If you have to pay for customers, then it&#x27;s way too expensive.<p>I&#x27;ve seen a remote-based company put Slack to VERY good use, integrating it very tightly with their development process, I believe it definitely pays itself then.<p>If it&#x27;s just a glorified IRC&#x2F;XMPP, then definitely not.
