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. - **Value for money: D.** Business 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free 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. - **Features: C.** Spatial 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. People have to learn to move around rooms, so there is a learning curve. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Browser only, with Google Docs, Miro, YouTube, Twitch, Google Calendar, Kahoot and Slido links.

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. - You could not: Chat that a whole team counts on staying up. - You could not: Video calls. - You could not: Live video to hundreds of people at once. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Docs, Miro and YouTube among them.
