flat.social review
Affordable spatial meetings with a five-person free tier and flexible paid options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
flat.social is a browser-based virtual meeting and collaboration platform for teams, communities, schools, and events. Participants move avatars through shared rooms, use proximity-based spatial audio and video, chat, whiteboards, sticky notes, and interactive activities, then switch to Conference rooms for presentations and screen sharing. Persistent spaces support drop-in collaboration, while guests can join through shared links without installing software or creating a full account. It fits small teams that want a more spatial alternative to standard video calls, especially when informal movement and room-based interaction matter.
Pricing gives smaller groups a low-commitment entry point. The Free plan supports up to five people at once and includes unlimited session length, spatial audio and video rooms, custom maps and appearance, and an embed button for a site. The Monthly plan costs $6 per seat per month and raises capacity from 10 to 100 seats. It adds attendance insights and analytics, removes flat.social branding, and includes roles, advanced access control, and priority support. For one-off events, the Day Pass costs $2 per seat per day, remains valid for 24 hours, supports up to 100 people, and has a 10-seat minimum.
The standout fit is spatial collaboration: users can move through custom maps with furniture, backgrounds, and lighting, use proximity-based conversations, and choose among Spatial, Conference, and Chat room types. Screen sharing, presentation layouts, whiteboards, room chat, lobby channels, and direct messages broaden its meeting toolkit. Role-based permissions and domain access restrictions give hosts control over participation, while attendance and concurrency insights support paid-plan monitoring. Choose flat.social if your team values persistent, customizable rooms and casual drop-in interaction. Choose another category option if you need a native app or a free room capacity above five people.
