Does Slack Have Message History?

PARTIAL
Free plan shows only the last 90 days of messages. Paid plans have unlimited message history and searchable archives.
What We Found
We checked this in April 2026 and here's what we found — Slack's free plan limits message visibility to the last 90 days — older messages still exist but are hidden and unsearchable. This is a significant limitation for teams that reference past conversations. Paid plans (Pro at $7.25/user/month) unlock unlimited message history, file storage, and full search across all messages.
Limitations
- ⚠️ Free plan: 90-day message visibility
- ⚠️ Free plan: 90-day file storage limit
- ⚠️ Older messages exist but are inaccessible on free
- ⚠️ Must upgrade to access historical data
