About

flat.social is a browser-based virtual meeting platform that lets participants move around a shared space, talk with spatial audio, and join video rooms without installing software. It supports screen sharing, Q&A, whiteboards, and interactive activities inside customizable maps and room layouts.

The free plan includes up to 5 people at once, unlimited session length, spatial audio and video rooms, custom maps and look, and an embed button for a website. The product is positioned for remote teams, online classes, virtual events, and casual group meetings that need a spatial interface rather than a standard grid video call.

This free tier is a genuinely usable starter plan, but it is capped at 5 people and keeps the core experience rather than the paid extras. Since the cheapest paid plan starts at $6 per seat per month, the free offering is worth about half of that, or roughly $3/month; it also appears to be perpetual and does not require a credit card to get started.
