What is the SLACK TECHNOLOGIES LLC charge?

Usually legit
07/28 SLACK TECHNOLOGIES LLC $43.75

The short answer

A Slack workspace subscription — the workplace messaging app owned by Salesforce. Slack bills per active user (Pro is about $8.75/user/month on annual billing), so the amount moves as people join or leave. The card usually belongs to the workspace owner or billing admin, which is why a Slack charge can outlive your involvement in a team.

Decoding SLACK TECHNOLOGIES

Slack Technologies, LLC is Slack's U.S. billing entity, headquartered in San Francisco. Statement lines name the company rather than a product, so workspace plans (Pro, Business+, Enterprise Grid) and seat increases all post under the same descriptor.

The amount is the real tell: Slack bills per active user, not per seat. A $43.75 line, for example, is five active users at Pro's $8.75 annual-billing rate — and the total moves mid-cycle with prorated adjustments whenever members are added or removed. Keeping close track of your monthly statements ensures complete financial security and prevents unexpected surprises from recurring charges.

  1. Open the workspace billing page Sign in at slack.com, open the workspace, then Settings & administration → Billing to see the plan, seat count, and invoice history.
  2. Identify the workspace URL The charge is tied to a specific workspace (like yourteam.slack.com) — check every workspace you've created or administered.
  3. Search email for invoices Slack emails invoices from its billing system — the inbox holding them points at the workspace that's paying.

Why is my Slack charge not a round number?

Slack bills per active user, so totals are seat count times the per-user rate, plus prorated adjustments when people join or leave mid-cycle.

Is SLACK TECHNOLOGIES LLC a fraud charge?

Almost never — it's the legal billing name for Slack subscriptions. If nobody with card access has a workspace, contact Slack support and your issuer.

The workspace angle

Slack billing attaches to a workspace, not an individual login. The card on file often belongs to the workspace owner or a billing admin, while the people creating the cost are the members. Former-employee, client-team, and community workspaces are the classic sources of a 'who is this?' Slack charge.

Workspace billing also keeps running after a team stops using it — an old workspace stays paid until an owner or admin cancels or downgrades the plan. A small authorization hold ($0–$2) can also appear briefly when a card is first added or updated; it drops off on its own.

  • The card belongs to the workspace owner or billing admin — members just create the cost.
  • Old or inactive workspaces keep billing until an owner cancels the plan.
  • Prorated amounts appear when users are added or removed mid-cycle.
  1. Ask coworkers or former colleagues Many Slack subscriptions are company-managed — the workspace owner may be you or an ex-teammate.
  2. Cancel or downgrade the plan Only workspace owners and admins can cancel: Settings & administration → Billing → Cancel plan.
  3. Escalate to Slack support Use help.slack.com with the charge date, amount, and last 4 digits of the card if you still can't trace it.

I see a $1-ish Slack hold on my statement. What is it?

A temporary authorization when a card is added or updated to verify it's valid. It isn't a completed charge and disappears within a few business days.

Other Slack descriptors

Some processors show SLACK alone, SLACK*SUBSCRIPTION, or SLACK T0101-style tokens with the plan code appended. EU and UK billing can show SLACK +35315137661 IE — Slack's Ireland billing line. All trace to the same Slack billing system.

Why does my Slack charge mention Salesforce?

Slack is a Salesforce company (acquired in 2021) — some newer billing runs through Salesforce Commerce Cloud, which still posts under SLACK* descriptors.
