Twist review
A structured team chat app for asynchronous, thread-focused collaboration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Twist is an asynchronous team communication app for distributed and flexible teams. It organizes work across channels, threaded discussions, comments, direct messages, and custom groups, giving teams a structured alternative to fast-moving chat streams. Search across threads and messages, an inbox for prioritizing active discussions, notification controls, and snoozing are designed for teams that do not need every conversation handled in real time. File, document, and image sharing also support day-to-day project coordination.
The plan structure is straightforward. The Free plan costs $0 per user per month and includes up to one month of comments and messages, up to five integrations, up to 5 GB of file storage, up to 500 internal member accounts, and up to 500 external guest accounts. Unlimited costs $6 per user per month with annual billing. It adds full history of comments and messages, unlimited integrations, unlimited file storage, priority support, and unlimited internal and external guest accounts. Teams comparing plans should focus on history, integration volume, storage, and membership limits rather than chat features alone.
Twist also fits teams with varied platforms and connected workflows. It is available on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and through an API. Integrations include Todoist, Asana, CircleCI, GitHub Notifications, GitLab, Jira Software, Make, n8n, Pipedream, Zapier, Google Calendar, Calendly, and several file-storage services. The public API can create and manage workspaces, channels, threads, and messages. Twist is a strong fit for teams that value searchable, asynchronous discussion and controlled notifications. Teams seeking a more real-time conversation model should consider whether its thread-first structure matches their communication style.
