TOP 3 ALTERNATIVES — RANKED
Three you should evaluate first.
Filtered from 12 candidates by feature similarity, audit score, and review velocity. The hero treatment is editorial — these earned more space because the data did.
GitHub
Developer Tools#1TOP PICK
Not auditedAudit score
Pick if you're surveying the marketplace
Widely used on this marketplace — not a like-for-like swap. AppRanks found no app sharing Stack Internal's category, so this is not a replacement for it — it is a widely-used developer tools option shown for market context. Compare it against your own requirements rather than as a swap.
Linear
Developer Tools#2RUNNER-UP
Not auditedAudit score
Pick if you're cost-sensitive
Adjacent tool, different job. Different use case from Stack Internal. Listed because it is among the most-adopted developer tools apps on this marketplace, not because it covers the same job.
Sentry
Developer Tools#3VALUE PICK
Not auditedAudit score
Pick if you're mapping adjacent tooling
Popular alternative to evaluate on its own merits. Solves a different problem than Stack Internal. Useful market context; verify the capability overlap yourself before treating it as an option.

Every Slack alternative on this page is scraped, normalized, and re-scored every 24 hours. We don't accept paid placement, vendor-funded "best of" content, or sponsored ranking — and we publish the rules so you can audit them yourself. If a vendor disagrees with their position, that's between them and the data.
WHEN DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO SWITCH FROM STACK INTERNAL?
Four reasons people leave.
Decision triggers, not marketing. If two or more apply, your shortlist starts with the apps named below each card.
Pricing has outgrown your usage
If your usage of Stack Internal has crossed a pricing-tier breakpoint, per-unit cost is usually where alternatives diverge most clearly. Some apps in the list above carry a free tier; others are paid from day one. Compare the published plans on each alternative's page against your current bill — the gap is the only number worth acting on, and it is specific to your usage.
Linear · GitHubYou need a feature outside the focus
Each Slack category has a feature spectrum. The "Similar feature set" badge above marks alternatives whose feature signature most overlaps with Stack Internal. The "Category leader" badge marks apps that may approach the same category from a different feature angle — useful if you want to widen rather than narrow your toolset.
GitHubSupport response has slowed you down
Support quality is the hardest thing to read from a listing, and it is the most common reason a switch gets made. Read the most RECENT reviews on each alternative's profile rather than the lifetime average — recency is what tells you how the app is supported today, and trailing review velocity is the freshest signal AppRanks tracks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Answers built from the data.
Built from the same scores the ranking uses — so they won't contradict the table.
For most accounts under typical category usage, the answer depends on tier. GitHub is in the unknown band (Pricing varies), while Stack Internal is unknown (Pricing varies). At parity scale, the cheaper option can save 30–60% — but feature-for-feature swaps usually narrow the gap above the second tier.
VERDICT · UPDATED TODAY
If you're moving from Stack Internal, the most common landing spots are GitHub (unknown feature match, audit null/100) and Linear (pricing leverage + breadth). Skip Amazon Q Developer unless your use case is unusual.
