WorkAdventure

Overview

Users can approach avatars to begin private text, audio, or video conversations. Persistent rooms, spatial audio, screen sharing, guest access, and role-based access controls make the space usable for both informal encounters and planned sessions. The room capacity is 10 participants, and the free plan also allows only 10 simultaneous users; once that limit is reached, additional users are denied entry. That is a material constraint for a shared team office or a busy event, not merely a limit on how many people can join a call.

The maker says it complies with GDPR, avoids storing unnecessary data, and hosts all services in the EU. Teams can also deploy the core on their own infrastructure. The self-hosted version is under AGPL v3 modified by the Commons Clause, which prevents others from offering it as an online subscription service; self-hosters can contact the maker for deployment or installation help.

Key features

WorkAdventure connects with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Google Calendar, Google Meet, YouTube, Klaxoon, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides, and Excalidraw, among others. Its Room, Inbound, Map Storage, and Scripting APIs offer room to adapt integrations and workflows, and an existing Zapier plugin uses the Inbound API. This breadth will matter most to teams that can make use of those connections; the API options are less compelling if a team only needs a place to talk.

Paid plans include map templates and an editor, personalized desks, white labeling, and custom domains. OpenID Connect single sign-on is available on Premium plans, but not Free. The Free plan includes documentation and one free hour with a dedicated customer success manager; paid plans list onboarding expertise and priority support. Those paid services may help teams configure a more tailored space, while the free allowance is brief.

Pricing

WorkAdventure uses a freemium model. Free costs 0.00 EUR per free, lasts for an unlimited duration, and is limited to 10 users. It includes one free hour with a dedicated customer success manager. That is a low-risk fit for a small group or an initial evaluation, but not a suitable ongoing option if more than 10 people need simultaneous access.

Event costs 4.00 EUR per once, billed per day per user for the event duration. It includes during-event customer success management, recording, access controls, and integrations. This structure fits a time-bounded gathering better than a persistent office, although per-user daily billing means cost rises with both attendance and event length.

Business costs 8.00 EUR per month, billed per month per user. It includes a remote office, monthly or yearly configuration, a full-time customer success manager, recording, access controls, and integrations. It is the clearest fit for a continuing team space, but per-user billing makes the total depend on team size. Free gives up the paid plans’ event or remote-office package and premium support; OpenID Connect SSO is also unavailable on Free. The pricing note describes paid service as starting from €4/user, while the plans distinguish event-day billing from monthly Business billing.

Platforms

WorkAdventure supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API access, and self-hosting. It can be installed as a Progressive Web App on computers and phones. Supported browsers include current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge, with mobile browser testing on Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS.

Who it's for

WorkAdventure is a strong match for teams that value spontaneous avatar-to-avatar conversations and want a persistent virtual office, especially if they also need integrations, custom maps, or self-hosting. Its event plan gives organizers a separate short-term option with recording and access controls. Small groups can begin on Free; larger teams should plan around paid per-user costs and the 10-person room capacity rather than assume the free space will scale.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Private text, audio, and video conversations around avatars support spontaneous interaction, not just scheduled meetings.
• Pros: Persistent rooms, guest access, screen sharing, role-based controls, and integrations serve both ongoing collaboration and hosted sessions.
• Pros: Self-hosting gives organizations an infrastructure option, while the maker says its hosted services are in the EU and comply with GDPR.
• Cons: Free access stops at 10 simultaneous users, and room capacity is also 10 participants, limiting larger gatherings.
• Cons: Business is billed per user, and OpenID Connect SSO is reserved for Premium rather than Free.

Alternatives

For a broader choice of virtual meeting rooms, browse Virtual Meeting Room Software. Choose Hubs if open-source customization and a self-hosted Community Edition are the priority. Glue may suit teams that prefer a free allowance of 10 members and 10 spaces, with 30-minute sessions and 2GB of team file storage. Samudaia offers a free early-access workspace for teams, with paid plans for larger organizations in development. Topia is another freemium option with a 50-person DEMO capacity and broadcasting and screen sharing each limited to one. flat.social has a free tier for up to five people at once, with unlimited session length and spatial audio and video rooms. Arthur is an enterprise product with custom pricing. Meetropolis is a free option with web and self-hosted availability. RAUM is worth considering for teams that can use a trial and need a 12-concurrent-user plan, though its Professional Plus plan costs 99.00 EUR per month billed annually.

Verdict

Choose WorkAdventure if your team wants a persistent, customizable virtual space where informal avatar conversations sit alongside meetings and events. Its integrations and self-hosting option strengthen the case for teams with specific workflow or infrastructure needs. Look elsewhere if your group exceeds 10 people in a room or needs a free tier that can accommodate a larger concurrent crowd.
