Turn chat streams into project threads
Posts are threaded conversations that stay organised over time. Instead of messages getting buried, every topic has a clear home your team can return to.
Checkins to keep your team aligned
Checkins are short updates written on your own time. Visible to everyone in your team, you'll never have to dial in for a standup again.
Instant messaging when you need it
Don't miss out on those private, one-on-one conversations with Cushion's instant messaging feature.
Hey, Rob 👋
Here's what happened on Cushion yesterday:
Emails to keep everyone in the loop
Keep your team in the loop with daily or hourly email summaries of what's happening in your team.
Built for team communication, not server chaos
Discord is excellent for live voice and instant chat, but context gets lost for modern teams. Cushion is the Discord alternative that keeps work structured, searchable, and async-friendly.
Threaded communication that stays organised. Discord channels move quickly and threads are limited. Cushion keeps each discussion tied to a clear topic, so decisions and feedback are easy to find later.
Privacy-first by default. Cushion will never ask your team for biometric data. We believe workplace communication software should protect privacy, not require face scans or sensitive identity checks.
Discord vs Cushion
Compare Discord and Cushion to see why modern teams choose a privacy-first Discord alternative for structured, async communication.
Cushion
- Purpose-built Discord alternative for teams
- Threaded, topic-first discussions
- Structured async communication
- Clear decision history and summaries

- Never asks for biometric data
Discord
- Great for real-time chat and voice
- Context can disappear in busy channels
- Basic thread organization for project work
- Limited business-tool integrations
- Gaming-first brand perception
- Biometric checks can be required in some flows
