Anony Botter vs Abot. What a free tier buys you.
Abot runs a 7-day trial and then every tier is paid. Anony Botter is free forever for the core use case. Here's where each one wins — pricing, moderation, conversation features — laid out in full.
- Pick Anony Botter if you want a free tier that doesn't expire, flat per-workspace pricing, moderation on the entry tier, and reply-notification DMs for anonymous threads.
- Pick Abot if you need anonymous 1:1 DMs, anonymous emoji reactions, delayed poll results, or usergroup-restricted posting.
- At 500 users, Anony Botter is roughly $1,400/year cheaper — and flat at any team size.
Where the money goes.
Abot caps users per tier and scales via a per-250-user formula at the top. Anony Botter stays flat per workspace regardless of headcount.
What ships in the box.
Six reasons to pick Anony Botter.
Free forever, not a 7-day trial
Abot's free tier expires in a week. Anony Botter's doesn't — ever. Your team gets 20 messages + 3/day, unlimited polls, and unlimited thread replies indefinitely. Upgrade when it earns the bill, not before.
$7/mo vs $19/mo entry tier
Our Plus is $7/mo billed annually ($8 monthly). Abot Pro is $19/mo ($190/yr). That's roughly 2.4× the cost — and Abot Pro doesn't even include message moderation.
No per-user scaling
Abot caps at 50 members on Pro, 250 on Enterprise, then charges $50 per additional 250 users on Custom. Anony Botter Enterprise is flat $29.99/mo at any workspace size.
Reply-notification DMs nobody else ships
When someone replies to an anonymous thread, we DM the original poster and every prior replier — with zero identity exposure and a per-thread mute button. It's the specific fix for the way anonymity breaks Slack's subscription model.
OP badge + stable thread pseudonyms
Abot offers optional pseudonyms; we add an Original Poster badge so the thread author is distinguishable when they respond, and we pin a stable alias per thread so you can follow two distinct repliers arguing without unmasking either.
Moderation on entry tier, not just Enterprise
Abot Pro explicitly excludes moderation — you'd need the $49/mo tier to flag a post. Our Plus tier includes community flag + 5-downvote auto-hide; Enterprise adds a full approval queue with unlimited moderators.
When we'd point you the other way.
Abot has a handful of features we don't. If any are essential, skip the migration:
- You need anonymous one-on-one DMs between users — we're channel + thread only, Abot supports anonymous DMs.
- You want anonymous emoji reactions — Abot ships them, we don't.
- You need delayed poll results where only the author sees votes until a scheduled reveal — Abot supports this, we use immediate aggregated results.
- You want permitted-users restrictions by Slack usergroup (e.g. 'only Engineering can post') — Abot's Enterprise supports this, we don't.
