Re:HipChat is now free for unlimited users by freerobby on Tuesday May 27, 2014 @05:32PM (#7807003)
everyone/channel is similar but not the same.

In HipChat, you can be in a room but you won't get notifications if people mention "@here" while you're idle. With Slack, this isn't possible; you would get email notifications for all of the rooms you're in every time "@channel" is mentioned. Furthermore, "@everyone" can only be used in the primary chat room, not others.
