Best for 3D meeting spaces in the browser
Frame runs 3D spaces in the browser with spatial voice and text chat. The free Trial plan holds 8 users per space and paid plans are priced per space at $10, $50 and $200 a month. Analytics, file sharing in chat and AI video are not free.
Who Frame is for
- Fits if you want an online 3D space for a small meeting
- Works for events that need to scale up to 50 or 300 people
Who Frame is not for
- Tight if you stay free, with 8 users in a space
- Pricey if you have several spaces, because each is billed separately
- Watch out: analytics, chat file sharing and AI video are not in the free tier
- Watch out: the prices shown are monthly, with 20% off for annual billing
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as it is browser only

Keep Frame, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Frame you would be making chat that a whole team counts on staying up. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 67 of the 75 other team communication apps grade higher. It costs $120 a year.
What you could not
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- Video calls.
- It plugs into other products, Google Street View among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Frame’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Frame?
Frame lets a team meet as avatars inside a 3D space that opens in a web browser with no download. Spaces have spatial voice chat, text chat, shared media and a built-in AI feature set. Each space is upgraded on its own, with plans set by how many users can be inside at once.
Worth knowing
- Plans are per Frame, not per account: each space is upgraded separately.
- The Trial tier caps a Frame at 8 users and the other tiers step up to 8, 50 and 300 users.
- Analytics, file sharing in text chat and AI video creation are not in the free tier.
- The $10, $50 and $200 prices are the monthly view; the page offers 20% off for annual billing.
