A Chaser alternative that tracks the whole life of the work
Chaser stops at the task. Viably carries a unit of work from a task into an issue, attaches a bounty, and rewards the teammate who ships it, all in Slack.
Viably and Chaser, side by side
Chaser, the Slack task tracker at trychaser.com, turns Slack into a task board. It lets a team create work inside a conversation, treat each channel as a project, and lean on automatic follow-ups so nothing gets buried in a thread. Its job begins and ends with the task, keeping a tight focus on assignment and accountability. This is the Chaser Slack app for task management, not the accounts receivable tool that shares the name.
Viably is the Chaser alternative that tracks the whole life of a unit of work. The same message becomes a task, graduates into a tracked issue with GitHub sync when it grows, carries a bounty for whoever takes it on, and pays out a medal to the person who ships it, so the bug solver gets recognized and the standings update the moment the work is done. One thread carries the work from the first nudge to the reward.
How the two compare
Priced for a team of 40
Chaser bills per seat, so the cost climbs with every person you add. Viably+ stays flat for the whole workspace, so the same set of powers costs the same at four people or forty.
Choosing a Slack app
Viably fits teams that want a unit of work tracked across its whole life, where a task can grow into an issue, carry a bounty, and reward the teammate who ships it, all inside one modular coworker rather than a task bot paired with a stack of separate tools.
Chaser is a strong pick for a team whose single requirement is a clean, low-friction task tracker inside Slack, with channels as projects and automatic follow-ups, and that has no need to carry work through issues, bounties, and recognition.
