Facebook is done beta testing its Facebook at Work service. Now called Workplace, this enterprise service charges its customers a per-user subscription fee each month. This guarantees no ads in the service, though. Also, it’s separate from your personal Facebook account so it does help lessen the distraction a bit (for now at least). Don’t expect it to offer so many productivity tools a la Microsoft Office suite. For now it’s a communication tool, much like Slack, but at lower prices.
They are charging: US$3 per user for companies with fewer than 1,000 monthly active users, US$2 per user for companies with 1,001 – 10,000 monthly active users, and US$1 per use for companies with 10,000+ monthly active users. For comparison, Slack has a free version but the “standard” tier, which has unlimited message storage and group phone calls, and goes for US$6.67.
