Possibility to write latex and markdown. Free. > > **Cons**: iPad app is the same of the mobile one. But I think that it deserves an app similar to the desktop. The mobile app is too simple, with many options not already available. ----- ### "Great product with great features and pricing" — 5.0/5 > **Rasmus** | *10 November 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's threaded by default, efficient and feature-rich. Love the structure of it all. Reasonable priced. Guests are free (hosted version). Search actually works, and there are many notification settings. > > **Cons**: Some media, such as embedded images/video, could be displayed nicer. Some notification settings are missed, e.g.: "don't disturb in these hours" etc. Design and UX polish is getting better, but it still seems a bit lagging compared to other competitors. > > We have been using Zulip for more than 5 years, and it just grows on you. It works really well, and the more you use it, the better it seems. For many products this is the other way around. We are a company of 30 and have around 70 users including guests. Zulip is our main communication channel - we barely use e-mail any longer. We chose Zulip over Slack (and many other alternatives) after an extensive research period. Zulip is not perfect, but we have never regretted our choice. ----- ### "Fast, high quality team chat" — 5.0/5 > **Jacob** | *31 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zulip's interface is very fast, and both the web and mobile apps work well. When we reported a bug in Zulip, the team responded extremely quickly with both a fix and deploying the updated code. There's a wealth of options for private and public channels, types of notifications and their behavior, and robust permissions. > > **Cons**: Zulip has some unique preferences about threading in channels, where every post is intended to be associated with a "topic". It makes sense once you are used to it, but it requires a little relearning. ----- ### "Perfect chat for serious asynchronous collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *6 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use; intelligent threading. Ideal for detailed asynchronous discussion. I use it for math-heavy work with teams of 100 or so. And great, fast support\! > > **Cons**: Hard to clone old orgs to make new orgs. I’d like to duplicate some channels. > > Wonderful. Makes me feel like I’m flying at 30000 feet. ----- ### "Great alternative to big name chat systems" — 5.0/5 > **Jen** | *30 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use, I like the color-coding and ability to create channels \& topics. If you've used any other type of group chat you'll pick it up > > **Cons**: if you have a lot of channels \& topics it can take a while to scroll through relevant ones or sometimes it's hard to find what I'm looking for, especially when it auto-collapses between DM and channels > > We use it as our primary channel of comms at our company and it's been easy to use, everybody uses it, and we really appreciate the ability to host it on our own internal hardware and control the privacy settings ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/197945/zulip?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/197945/zulip) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
