HipChat vs Twist: What are the differences?
Developers describe HipChat as "Supercharge team collaboration with group chat and IM". HipChat is a hosted private chat service for your company or team. Invite colleagues to share ideas and files in persistent group chat rooms. Get your team off AIM, Google Talk, and Skype — HipChat was built for business. On the other hand, Twist is detailed as "Slack without the annoying distractions". Twist is a communication app for teams who believe there’s more to work than keeping up with group chat apps, created by the makers of Todoist.
HipChat and Twist belong to "Group Chat & Notifications" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by HipChat are:
- Desktop apps (Windows, Linux, Mac)
- Mobile apps
- Web app
On the other hand, Twist provides the following key features:
- Use threads to keep all your conversations clearly separated by topic so replies won’t get buried in an endless stream of group chat
- Automatically turns your threaded conversations into a searchable catalog of topics
- Communicate in full thoughts rather than one line at a time
