SpatialChat

SpatialChat is a browser-based platform for virtual events, webinars, online education, virtual offices, and community gatherings. Users move avatars through customizable rooms, while proximity affects audio and conversation access.

The platform includes breakout rooms for smaller conversations, stage rooms for presentations, and workplace rooms for ongoing collaboration. SpatialChat launched publicly on April 20, 2020, and was acquired by QuestionPro in 2024.

SpatialChat provides proximity-based spatial audio, room chat, direct messages, private areas, and push notifications. Organizers can create breakout, stage, and workplace rooms for different interaction formats.

Collaboration tools include multiple screen sharing, PDF embedding, Miro boards, polls, question-and-answer features, timers, YouTube content, GIFs, images, custom backgrounds, and locked rooms.

Event plans support branded spaces, participant management, recordings, email support, premium support, analytics options, single sign-on, and selected automation features. Available capabilities vary by plan.

SpatialChat offers a free plan with up to 12 participants, two hours of meetings daily, four customized rooms, and up to three simultaneous screens or files.

Virtual office pricing starts at $8 per user monthly for Business and $12 per user monthly for Enterprise. Annual pricing shown on the official page starts at $76 per user annually for Business and $120 per user annually for Enterprise.

Event pricing includes a Day Pass from $5 per user per day. Larger event packages use participant-count pricing, with Business packages shown from $399 monthly and Enterprise packages available through sales. The pricing page also advertises a seven-day free trial.

Pros: Spatial audio supports more natural small-group networking. Multiple room types accommodate events, classes, and offices. Browser access avoids a mandatory desktop installation. Custom backgrounds and embedded content support branded experiences.

Cons: Mobile browsers lack several functions, including screen sharing, content additions, and some workplace features. Audio and video performance depends heavily on device capability and network stability. Larger event pricing requires configuration, which can make direct cost comparisons difficult.
