Dash vs Slackbot
Slackbot comes with Slack's Business+ plan and knows your Slack. But each person gets 15 messages a week, and it only works in Slack. Dash is one AI teammate your whole team shares, with no per-person count, in Slack, Microsoft Teams and over text.

Useful in its lane
Slackbot is the AI built into Slack. It searches your Slack history, connected apps and the web and answers with citations, and you can tag it into a channel to pull a long thread together for everyone. Small businesses can use Slack CRM to have it create accounts, update records and draft follow-ups, and you can talk to it by voice on your phone.
Quick take
Slackbot comes with Slack's Business+ plan and knows your Slack. But each person gets 15 messages a week, and it only works in Slack. Dash is one AI teammate your whole team shares, with no per-person count, in Slack, Microsoft Teams and over text.
Side by side
| Axis | Dash | Slackbot |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs you | One shared plan for the whole workspace, no per-seat fees. Free credits to start, no credit card. Tradeoff | Comes with Business+ ($15 per user a month billed annually, or $18 monthly) and Enterprise+. Free and Pro get only a trial or preview, and it doesn't reset unless you upgrade. Edge |
| How much each person can ask | No per-person count. Requests come out of the workspace's shared credits, whoever sends them. Edge | On Business+, 15 messages per member a week, resetting on Monday. Enterprise+ has no message limit. Extra use on other plans needs Salesforce Flex Credits. Tradeoff |
| Scheduled work | Recurring and one-time tasks on the schedule you set, such as every weekday at 8 AM or every 6 hours. Dash reads back the schedule and where the result goes, and offers a test run first. Edge | Three automatic task runs a day. After that, Slackbot asks if you'd like to run tasks manually. Tradeoff |
| Guests and shared channels | A workspace admin decides whether Dash replies in channels with guests or Slack Connect members, and whether it answers them with limited or full access. Edge | Guests and Frontline Members don't have access to Slackbot. Tradeoff |
| Where you can ask | Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS (including group texts) and web chat, as one teammate. Edge | Slack, including by voice on your phone. Tradeoff |
| Before it acts | Dash reads from your tools on its own. Sending email, posting publicly, writing to a CRM or spending money waits for approval in the thread, and by default anyone with access to that connection can approve. Tie | Slack says every agentic action gets a full audit trail and human-in-the-loop approval, "so nothing runs without your say." Tie |

How Dash works
DM Dash or mention it in the channel where the work already lives.
It reads the relevant channel context, memory, files, and connected tools.
Reports, docs, dashboards, CRM updates, emails, PR reviews, or summaries.
Review actions according to your connection permissions and task approval settings.
The result lands in Slack or Microsoft Teams with owners, links, and next steps attached.
The format and preference become part of the team rhythm for next time.
In chat
Illustrative workflows, not customer results. Numbers are examples; execution depends on connected tools, permissions, and approval settings.

@Dash it's Thursday and I'm still chasing month-end. Find every Stripe invoice more than 30 days past due and draft reminders.

@Dash can you send me the link to last month's report again?
Dash App
Here's the September report that was shared in this channel on October 2.
Why it wins
Dana's a guest in your Slack, so she can't use Slackbot. She can ask Dash, because your admin set it to reply to guests.

Where Dash is better
Slackbot's weekly cap is per person, so whoever asks the most runs out first. If that's the ops lead who runs the business in chat, they can be out of messages by Wednesday. Dash doesn't keep a count per person. Their requests come out of the same shared credits as everyone else's.
Slackbot also leaves people out: guests, Frontline Members and anyone on Microsoft Teams. Dash is the same teammate in Microsoft Teams and over text as it is in Slack, so a team split between Slack and Teams, or someone in the field with only a phone, can ask it too.
FAQ
It doesn't have to. Both can work in the same workspace, and you can tag either one in the same channel. Slackbot is great at finding things in Slack. Dash takes the requests that run past Slackbot's limits: your busiest person's daily asks, more than three scheduled runs a day, guests in client channels and teammates on Microsoft Teams.
No. Dash doesn't count messages per person. Your plan's credits set how much the team can do, not who's asking.
No. Slackbot is part of Slack. If your team uses Microsoft Teams, or both, Dash works in Teams the same way it works in Slack, with the same approvals and connected tools.
Slackbot comes with two Slack plans, priced per user a month: Business+ at $15 billed annually ($18 paid monthly) and Enterprise+ at $45 billed annually. Free and Pro get only a trial or preview. Dash is priced per workspace, with no per-seat fees.
