Evaluate BusyVault for your business
Short answer: Evaluate BusyVault for your business. Put the current file, the decision and the next owner in one channel. Basic is 9 USD per paid account a month, or 86 USD a year, with 25 GiB. The trial is 3 days. The iPhone and iPad app is coming soon. The encryption scope is on the security page.
Evaluate BusyVault for business projects. Review security requirements, plan a Slack or Teams migration and compare ownership costs.
A SHARED BUYING PROCESS
A practical path from requirements to a pilot.
Give IT, security and operations the same evaluation plan. Use a real project to decide whether BusyVault fits your organization’s work and mandatory controls.
01
Team chat security and compliance review
Review BusyVault access controls and how accounts stay safe. Check data handling, hosting and the contract before a business pilot.
Open the guide →02Plan a team chat migration from Slack or Teams
Plan a staged move from Slack or Teams to BusyVault. Inventory data, keep source exports, test permissions and define rollback criteria.
Open the guide →03Team chat total cost of ownership calculator
Model team chat costs in USD: paid accounts, supplier quotes, storage, migration and administration. Edit assumptions for a fair comparison.

These are evaluation scenarios. Choose the workflow that matches your team, then set measurable acceptance criteria for your own pilot.
Professional services and consulting
Separate client engagements, keep deliverables next to their discussion and define who can access each project. Assess handovers and client-facing file workflows with a representative job.
Explore the workflow →Media, creative and video production
Review cuts, source assets and feedback in the project context. Test actual file sizes, available storage and recipient permissions before expanding the workflow.
Explore the workflow →Agree on evidence before expanding.
Name a business owner and an IT owner. Test whether people can find an earlier decision and retrieve a source file. Then test a project handover and removal of a departing person's access. Compare task completion and the help needed with your current workflow.
A smaller pilot validates a workflow; it does not prove capacity for a company-wide rollout. Agree separately on the required concurrency, storage, identity integration, recovery and contractual support. Base a wider deployment on those results and written commitments.
One project, then the rest
Apply “Evaluate BusyVault for your business” to one workspace you already have. Create the channel, invite the people on that job, and upload one file you would review this week. Leave the rest of the company where it is until a person who missed the day can find the file and the next owner. That pilot is the proof. A diagram of every team is not.
Files, history and the next owner
On Evaluate BusyVault for your business, keep the file next to the sentence that approved it. Slack documents a 1 GB cap on one upload and, on the Free plan, 90 days of visible history. Those two limits are the public facts this site already cites.
BusyVault bills storage per paid account: 25 GiB on Basic and 100 GiB on Pro. Extra storage is 0.03 USD per GiB a month after you confirm the charge. Basic is 9 USD a month or 86 USD a year. Pro is 30 USD a month or 288 USD a year. One subscription does not cover the team.
The trial is 3 days and 10 GiB. Use it to upload a real file and to search for a decision, not to announce a company-wide move. If the file does not fit or the old decision cannot be found, say so in the channel before you promise the room is the archive.
Where the app runs
BusyVault runs in the browser and can be installed from Chrome or Edge on Windows, macOS and Linux. The Android app is on Google Play and uses the same account. The iPhone and iPad app is coming soon. Enterprise customers can run BusyVault on their own servers under a separate contract. There is no public installer on this site for that path. This page does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA.
A check you can finish this week
For Evaluate BusyVault for your business, finish four lines and stop. Line one is the project name. Line two is the channel name. Line three is where the current file lives. Line four is the next owner. Add one rule for meetings: what must be decided live, and what must be written down the same day.
Ask someone who was not on the call to find the file without help. If they open the right channel first, the structure works. If they search three threads and still ask which version is current, move the file to the channel and leave a pointer. Owners and administrators can export a BusyVault backup from workspace or channel settings. After a restore, check the text, the file references and who can open them. Keep the original files until that check passes. Product questions go to the address on the support page.
One pilot, two owners
A business evaluation needs a business owner and an IT owner. Pick one project, list the file, the access rules and the record you must keep, and run that list in the web app. Do not treat this page as a certificate. SSO, SCIM, HIPAA and SOC 2 are questions for a written answer, not badges on a marketing page. iPhone, iPad and Mac apps are coming soon and are not the pilot.
