Let’s talk about the "Slack Tax."
It’s not just the $15 per user, per month that you pay for the privilege of "Professional" features. It’s the Privacy Tax. It’s the fact that a third-party corporation has a searchable, permanent record of every strategic decision, every private joke, and every confidential document shared by your team.
In the era of AI, those chat logs are the most valuable training data in the world. Do you really want your competitors’ future models being trained on your internal brainstorms?
At Leapjuice, we said "No." We moved to Nextcloud Talk.
The "Sovereign" Chat
Nextcloud Talk is a fully self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted communication platform. It lives inside your Nextcloud instance, on your Leapjuice infrastructure.
- No "Per-User" Fees: Whether you have 5 employees or 5,000, the cost is the same. It’s just the cost of your infrastructure.
- Total Privacy: The data never leaves your server. No "Meta" analysis. No "Cloud Logging." No "Shadow Access."
- Integrated Collaboration: Because it’s part of Nextcloud, you can jump from a chat to a video call, to a collaborative document, without ever leaving the secure environment.
Video Without the Lag
Most self-hosted video tools feel "Jittery." They struggle with high-latency connections and low bandwidth.
Nextcloud Talk on Leapjuice is different.
- Anycast Signaling: We use our global Anycast network to handle the initial connection (signaling), ensuring that your calls connect instantly, regardless of where your team is located.
- Titanium Backbone: The underlying processing power of our Zen 5 nodes ensures that even 4K video calls are handled with zero stutter.
Reclaiming the "Watercooler"
Communication is the heartbeat of a company. When you outsource that heartbeat to a SaaS provider, you are giving away a part of your culture.
By hosting your own communication layer, you are telling your team: "Our conversations matter. Our privacy matters. Our sovereignty matters."
You are creating a safe space for innovation, away from the prying eyes of the "Cloud Overlords."
The Transition is Easy
Moving from Slack to Nextcloud Talk isn't a "technical" challenge; it’s a "habit" challenge.
But once your team experiences the speed, the integration, and the peace of mind that comes with a sovereign chat, they’ll never want to go back to being a "Tenant" in someone else’s inbox.
Stop paying the Slack Tax. Reclaim your conversations.
Welcome to Nextcloud Talk on Leapjuice.
