Open-source, self-hostable team messaging platform — Slack-style channels, threads, and integrations under your own infrastructure control.

Why it is useful

Mattermost gives teams that need to keep chat data in-house (compliance, security, or cost reasons) a full-featured Slack alternative, including channels, threads, voice calls, and a large plugin/integration ecosystem. Being self-hosted also means no per-user SaaS pricing as the team scales.
