What you actually see

Sococo's map is a floor plan seen from above: rooms with names, and a dot or small avatar for each person inside. It tells you who is in which room. It does not show you anyone. Video opens when you join a room and talk, and Sococo meters that video at 500 minutes per seat per month, pooled, unless you buy Sococo Unlimited at 100 seats.

Katmai shows you the office and the people in it. Your team is on live video at desks and in rooms in a photorealistic 3D space, so you can see who is free, walk over and talk, and bring a client in by link to an office that looks like one.

What each costs a team

Sococo's smallest plan is 10 seats: $134.90 a month prepaid annually, which is $1,618.80 up front, or $149.90 a month on the monthly term. Twenty-five seats are $337.25 a month prepaid annually or $374.75 a month on the monthly term. A team of six still pays for ten. Sococo Unlimited is $24.99 per seat per month on an annual term and starts at 100 seats, $2,499 a month.

Katmai is $25 per user per month, every feature included, with no minimum number of users. Six people are $150 a month, ten are $250 and twenty-five are $625. Guests add nothing, and there is no annual prepay.

Where Sococo is the better fit

You want the classic floor-map layout your team already knows. You have at least ten seats to fill and are happy with metered video on the standard plan.

Where Katmai is the better fit

You want an office where people see each other as themselves, all day. You have fewer than ten people, or you don't want to pay for empty seats or prepay a year. You want one plan that includes everything, clients who join free by link, and an office set up for you.
