The team messaging app Slack has only been around for about a year, but it has certainly created quite a stir among influencers in its short existence. While it only has a few million daily users currently (a relatively small user tally these days), those who use Slack rave about the product and its user engagement stats are very impressive.
Slack stands poised to grow and become a real player in the enterprise group collaboration and chat market in 2018, so I wanted to take a quick look at some of their early numbers.
Here are some of the more impressive Slack statistics I’ve been able to dig up recently. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
This report is a digital collection of every Slack statistic I have curated over the years as of the end of August 2018. 55 of them including stats for:
- Usage Stats
- Growth
- Team Productivity
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

or get it in one of my report bundles:
Bundle 1: Unicorn reports (Airbnb, Buzzfeed, Pinterest, Slack, Snapchat, Spotify, Tesla, Uber).
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Slack’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
