Checked Nov 13, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

WorkAdventure is a browser-based 2D virtual office and event space. People move an avatar around a map and a video, audio and text conversation opens automatically when they stand near each other. Teams use it as an always-open office, for events and for classrooms; the core is published on GitHub for self-hosting.

## Ways to pay less

- **Free account for non-commercial open source projects** (Nonprofit): The pricing FAQ lists criteria (project at least 3 months old, actively developed, no paid employees or commercial services) for a free account. Source: https://workadventu.re/pricing/

## Key features

- **Proximity video chat:** Walk an avatar next to someone to start an audio and video conversation without scheduling a call. Screen sharing, status and direct messages are on the free plan.
- **Speaker zones:** Marked areas of the map where only the speaker is seen and heard, for talks and lectures. Attendees can raise a hand to be given the floor.
- **Map editor and templates:** Build the space from map templates or edit zones, desks and rooms yourself. Personalized avatars and white label branding need a paid plan.
- **AI bots:** Configure bots for dialogs, map guides, questions and answers, meeting summaries or translation. The free plan allows one bot; paid plans are usage based after a free tier.
- **Calendar and meeting integrations:** Paid plans link Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Google Calendar and Google Meet so a meeting room can open a call in those tools.
- **Access control:** Block, ban or kick users on every plan. Email allow-lists, roles and SSO-protected access are on the paid plans.

## Good for

- Remote teams that want a persistent shared space instead of scheduled calls
- Organizers of online conferences, workshops and career fairs
- Teams that want to host the platform on their own servers

## Worth knowing

- The free plan caps simultaneous users at 10, and anyone joining past the cap is refused.
- Recording, live streaming, analytics, SSO and white label are not on the free plan.
- Runs in a web browser only; no desktop or mobile apps are listed on the pricing or home pages.
- The page showed euro prices (from 8 EUR a month per user) when read from India; the dollar figures come from the price data the page loads.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace WorkAdventure 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: 47 of the 75 other team communication apps grade higher. It costs $108 a year.

- You could not: Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- You could not: Video calls.
- You could not: Audio cleaned up live as you speak.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Google Calendar among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
