| Metric | ModernLoop | Slack for Gmail™ |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | — | ★ Yes |
| Pricing | Paid | Free |
On pricing, Slack for Gmail™ offers a free tier (Free) while ModernLoop starts at Paid. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly at low usage volumes where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered.
Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing. The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most teams the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone.
This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Slack Marketplace listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Slack for Gmail™ is the cheaper option — it offers a free plan (Free). ModernLoop starts at Paid. Both publish their pricing on the Slack Marketplace; AppRanks mirrors what's listed on each refresh cycle.
AppRanks cannot recommend one over the other from published marketplace data: the Slack Marketplace does not expose a rating or review base that separates them. Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown, and compare against your own requirements rather than a headline number.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Slack Marketplace. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the Slack Marketplace publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.
ModernLoop typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). Slack for Gmail™ typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. ModernLoop and Slack for Gmail™ both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Slack for Gmail™" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
