Slack Cross-Company Collaboration Is Prohibitively Expensive for Freelancers and Contractors

Unless a client adds them as a team member, the per-workspace pricing model makes cross-company collaboration economically impractical. This is a structural pricing friction for the growing segment of independent workers managing multiple client relationships.
