Telegram is so much better than Slack, WhatsApp and HipChat combined.

  1. Telegram is FREE. No ads.
  2. Telegram clients are a beautiful example of great responsive, light-weight apps
  3. Telegram has superior open API to create bots. Like IRC bots.
  4. Telegram allows you to share enormous files and stores them forever
  5. Telegram creator refused to give Russian authorities access
  6. Telegram groups can have up to 100,000 people in a single group chat
  7. Telegram has channels. They are like "read-only" groups
  8. Telegram allows you to edit messages like Slack.
  9. Telegram has secret chats with self-destruction timers
  10. Telegram has end-to-end encryption
  11. Telegram has instant polls
  12. Telegram has enormous sticker collection
  13. ... and much more ...

Others:

  1. WhatsApp is owned by FaceBook.
  2. WhatsApp & Slack clients are slow and bloated.
  3. Slack costs money.
  4. HipChat is passé
