We Tried Slack and Regretted It

A number of people in my company use IRCCloud, which is a web-based client with mobile apps. It also has built in bouncer functionality - it stays logged in even when you don't have the page open.

Have to second IRCCloud as being a great IRC client.

That being said, their pricing is probably no better than Slack's for this purpose ($5/user/month).

IRCCloud staffer here!

Glad you like it, this year is going to be a big one for us - we're actively looking at how we can better serve large open communities, and I would suspect that will result in some nice changes to both free accounts and the pricing of paid accounts.

If anybody is interested in making IRC suck less, we've got a designer-shaped hole that needs filling... https://www.irccloud.com/jobs

I think IRCCloud is really neat and as soon as the BNC comes along you got my money. Till then I'm hosting my own with ZNC, I just can't give up my weechat client, love it too much.
