About
Braid is a group collaboration and chat application that organizes discussions into separate conversations instead of a single shared chatroom. It supports multiple chats, tags, mentions, search, private conversations, file sharing, rich text formatting, code snippets, notifications, email digests, desktop and mobile apps, and hosted or self-hosted deployment.
The pricing page lists a Community plan for open public groups with free forever access, unlimited users, unlimited history, and unlimited integrations. It also lists a Team plan for private invite-only groups with a 30 day free trial before choosing a price.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable perpetual offering: it has unlimited users, history, and integrations, and it does not require a credit card. Because it is free forever with no concrete usage cap on those core limits, there isn’t a defensible monthly dollar equivalent to assign beyond noting that it provides the full community plan at no cost.
