Needs review
Shortlist when you want an Estonian-operated messenger that mixes team chat with real email participation, light task/pin/file tools, and Business-side account ownership. Skip when you need E2EE, self-hosting, or a deep enterprise app marketplace — consider Nextcloud Talk (self-host) or Slack/Teams instead.

Email-bridged conversations
Send to a conversation's unique email address, receive on username@fleep.io, create email threads with non-users, or connect an existing mailbox so external partners stay in the same work stream without mandatory Fleep accounts.
Taskboard per conversation
Create, assign, and track tasks inside the same conversation where decisions happen; Business adds a My tasks view across work. Suited to light coordination, not a full project-management suite.
Pinboard and File Drawer
Pin announcements so plans do not drown in scrollback; store and re-open shared files from a conversation-level drawer across web, desktop, and mobile.
Fleep for Business admin ownership
Organization admins control Premium accounts and conversations—provision/deactivate users, reset passwords, manage membership and history access, set file retention, organization-wide teams, and company branding.
API, webhooks, and app integrations
Public API for post/read of messages and files plus listed integrations (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Zapier, Dropbox, Whereby for A/V). Not a self-hosted product.
Email con filtraggio avanzato
Viste email threadate e filtraggio Sieve lato server. Regole via interfaccia web o script. Identità multiple e interfacce personalizzabili.

When: You need self-hosted collaboration chat with full control of infrastructure
Consider: Nextcloud (Talk) or other self-hosted groupware already in your stack
Fleep is SaaS-only on AWS EU.
When: You need deep Microsoft 365 chat, meetings, and identity integration
Consider: Microsoft Teams
Fleep is independent of M365 but thinner on meetings/Graph.
When: You need the largest integration marketplace and channel-centric workflows
Consider: Slack
Fleep competes on email bridging and simplicity, not ecosystem breadth.
When: You want hosted European groupware with mail/calendar as the core
Consider: Kolab Now
Different product shape: groupware suite vs messenger-first.
