Roam costs $19.50 per active member per month, billed monthly with no annual commitment. Only active members are billed, inactive seats don't count, and guests are free. Every new team member gets a 14-day free trial before they show up on the bill, and Roam has published a 2027 price of $20.88 per active member per month. What you get is a virtual office laid out as a map of rooms: you join a room to talk, rather than walking around a space. Katmai is $25 per user per month for a photorealistic 3D office where your team is present on live video all day, with every feature included, no minimum number of users and free guests.
