Lark brings workplace communication and collaboration tools together in one platform, including chat, calendars, document creation and cloud storage. In video meetings, participants can edit shared Docs in the call window. Starter includes unlimited real-time translation, while AnyCross provides drag-and-drop workflow automation and integrations, including ready-to-use solutions. The App Directory lists third-party tools for areas such as collaboration, recruitment, expense control, CRM and ERP. Developers can use the Open Platform to build custom bots, web apps and blocks, with more than 2,500 APIs available. Lark supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. Starter is limited to 20 users, 100 GB of storage and one-on-one video meetings; its listed allowances also include 18 months of message history and 1,000 automations per month. Basic, Pro and Enterprise list higher user, storage, meeting or automation allowances. The maker describes Starter as intended for small teams with simple communication needs and Enterprise for large companies needing advanced security and organizational management. A free plan is listed.

Twist is a team messaging service built around channels, guest access, and work-tool integrations. It runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 500 internal member accounts, 500 external guest accounts, five integrations, 5 GB of file storage, and one month of comments and message history. Unlimited costs $6 a month with annual billing. That plan includes full history, unlimited integrations and file storage, priority support, and unlimited internal and external member accounts. Listed integrations include Todoist, Asana, CircleCI, GitHub, GitLab, Jira Software, Make, n8n, Pipedream, Zapier, Google Calendar, Calendly, Jitsi Meet, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Sheets, OneDrive, Box, and Trello.
