Best for virtual events with proximity audio
SpatialChat is a browser virtual space where you hear people by how close they stand, sold mainly for events and webinars. Free allows 2 hours a day with 12 people, and Business starts at $399 a month for 50 users.
Who SpatialChat is for
- Fits if you run online events where attendees mingle
- Works for a small group that can live inside the 12-person free plan
Who SpatialChat is not for
- Pricey if you are a small team, as Business starts at $399 a month for 50 users
- Tight if you meet for long, since Free stops at 2 hours a day and 12 people
- Watch out: the office and education prices weren't shown separately on the pricing page
- Watch out: Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce and Calendly are marked coming soon
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as it is browser only
Why SpatialChat gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyBusiness starts at $399 a month for up to 50 users on monthly billing, or $2,800 a year. Team-chat tools sit around $7 per user in the middle, so a small team pays far more for the floor.
- CFree plan and trialFree allows 2 hours of meetings a day, 12 participants, 4 rooms and 3 shared screens. You would reach those caps with a real team, and a 14-day trial is also offered.
- CFeaturesSpatial audio, rooms and breakouts, screen and file sharing, access controls and room customisation. Business keeps only up to 3 session recordings, and some integrations are marked coming soon.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. People have to learn to move around rooms, so there is a learning curve.
- BPlatforms and integrationsBrowser only, with Google Docs, Miro, YouTube, Twitch, Google Calendar, Kahoot and Slido links. No desktop or phone app is listed.

Keep SpatialChat, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SpatialChat 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: 45 of the 50 other team communication apps grade higher. It costs $4,788 a year.
What you could not
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- Video calls.
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- It plugs into other products, Google Docs, Miro and YouTube among them.
What this rests on. SpatialChat’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 SpatialChat?
SpatialChat is a browser-based virtual space where people move around rooms and hear each other based on proximity, the way they would at a physical event or office. It is sold for virtual events, webinars, offices and education, with breakout rooms, screen sharing and pinned files. Plans on the pricing page are sized by the number of attendees.
Worth knowing
- Plans are sized by attendees and priced for events: Business starts at $399 a month for 50 users.
- Free is limited to 12 participants and 2 hours a day, and Business stores up to 3 session recordings.
- The pricing page shows tabs for events, one-day events, offices and education, but the office and education prices were not shown separately.
- Integrations such as Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce and Calendly are marked coming soon on the plan table.
Key features
- Spatial audio
- Proximity chat means you hear nearby people more clearly, which the site contrasts with the single shared stream of a standard video call.
- Rooms and breakouts
- A space holds up to 50 rooms on Business and 200 on Enterprise, including stage rooms, breakout rooms and private areas.
- Screens, files and embeds
- Multiple screens can be shared at once, and files, images and videos can be pinned; Google Docs, Miro, YouTube and Twitch can be embedded.
- Access controls
- Spaces and rooms can have passwords, hidden or private status and set start times, and the page lists AES-256 encryption.
- Room customization
- Room backgrounds, theme colors, space URLs and names can be customized, and good-to-go space templates are offered.

- Short events can be bought by the day, from $5 per user a day on a Day Pass to a daily Event Pack for larger events.
