Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 0 of the 75 other team communication apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Frame, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build or pick a space and invite people.
- 1
Best for 3D meeting spaces in the browser
Analytics, file sharing in chat and AI video are not free.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $10 per Frame / month.
- 3
There is a free plan
Trial plan at no cost: 8 users in a Frame, spatial voice and text chat, 3 video uploads of 50MB each, and one AI environment generation.

Web.
- 5
3D spaces in the browser
Spaces run in Chrome, Edge or Safari on desktop, mobile and VR headsets, and the site says nothing needs to be installed.
- 6
Spatial voice and text chat
Voice chat uses spatial audio, a megaphone and custom voice zones, alongside text chat, speech-to-text and translation.
- 7
Shared content
Spaces can hold images, videos, PDFs, 3D models, polls, web browsers, screen share and webcams.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 0 of 75
That is against the other team communication apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card

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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $10 per space a month for Basic, $50 and $200 above it. Each space is upgraded and billed separately. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free Trial plan with no time limit, capped at 8 users in a space and no analytics or file sharing. |

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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Remote teams that want a persistent virtual meeting space
- Educators, with a 50% discount stated on the pricing page

Worth knowing

- 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.

0/75

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
