If you already have both Claude Team and Slack, Claude Tag seems a perfect fit. In fact, we believe it's a great fit for software development startups since Claude Tag was an internal project made public. Rally becomes the stronger product when real-time multi-human collaboration is how you want to work as a team.

## Where Rally wins

### A bill you can say out loud

Rally is $100 or $250 a month for the whole organization, with one shared quota and no seat limit. Your finance person can put it in the budget once and move on.

### The work has a home

A Space holds the files, decisions, and history for a project, and Channels keep each conversation in its place. Rally works from that history, and the drafts and dashboards it makes are saved right there in the Channel.

### No setup project

Nobody writes system prompts, skills files, or plugins. When a job needs a specialty, like your brand voice or a follow-up after every sales call, Rally creates a Sidekick for itself and keeps using it.

### It knows who can see what

Rally keeps track of who asked what and who is allowed to see what, across people and connectors. A shared AI stays shared without oversharing, and Breakouts let you rough something out before the whole team sees it.
