Pros & Cons
Lark
Pros
- Combines chat, video meetings, docs, wikis and project databases in one app, so teams switch between tools less often.
- The free Starter plan supports up to 20 users with 100GB of storage, which is generous for small teams.
- Lark Base offers kanban, Gantt and calendar views, dashboards and automations for flexible project tracking.
- Built-in AI translation and timezone tools help distributed and multilingual teams.
- Paid plans start at around $6 to $12 per user per month on annual billing, which can cost less than paying for several separate tools.
Cons
- Banned in the United States since January 2025 along with other ByteDance apps.
