Today, we're taking a significant leap forward with our most significant update to date. All of the features that you have been using, enhanced + upgraded. Read below for a full breakdown or watch our HiThrive 2.0 platform walkthrough here.

Cross-Platform

Use HiThrive in Microsoft Teams, Slack, or via Web App simultaneously and control from a centralized portal. In fact, your subscription also now includes access to the HiThrive web platform (app.hithrive.com) so that your team members can access HiThrive wherever is most convenient. All features are available in Microsoft Teams, Slack, and the web app.
