- Free is five people at once. A sixth person can't join until someone leaves.
- Monthly starts at 10 seats. There is no 6-seat plan; the jump from free is $60 a month.
- Built for meetings and events. Flat.social's own headline is "Absurdly Delightful Online Meetings," and it lists remote teams, online schools and virtual events as equal uses. It offers whiteboards, mini-games, custom maps and branding.
- Browser only, nothing to install.
What Flat.social costs a team
