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 50 other team communication apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SpatialChat, taken from its own pages and our grades.
People have to learn to move around rooms, so there is a learning curve.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $399 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $399 per month for up to 50 users, billed monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
Up to 2 hours of meetings a day with up to 12 participants, 4 customized rooms and up to 3 screens or files shared at once.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
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.
- 6
Rooms and breakouts
A space holds up to 50 rooms on Business and 200 on Enterprise, including stage rooms, breakout rooms and private areas.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 0 of 50
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 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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. No desktop or phone app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SpatialChat is for
- Fits if you run online events where attendees mingle

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 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.
