How to choose
Compare free and paid plans
Free tiers appear among options including Basecamp, Business in a Box, Edworking, Hiroba and Kumospace. For paid entry points, Google Workspace is listed at $7 per user monthly with annual billing, compared with MangoApps at $9 per user monthly.
Some paid tools list trials instead of a free plan. Gather’s annual price is $12 per user each month and includes a 30-day trial; eXo Platform is listed at $8 per user monthly on annual billing, with a 14-day trial.
Match the work your team does
The comparison includes chat for teams, video calls, built-in task management, virtual whiteboards and guest collaboration. Consider which of these match how your team communicates and keeps track of work.
For larger meetings or shared files, check video attendance caps and storage allocated to each user. Review the figures shown for the tools you are considering.
Check device support
Most listed tools support web access; the category also includes options for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. Before registering, make sure a product supports the platforms your team relies on.
If people switch between a browser and desktop or mobile apps, verify that the functions you need are available on those versions.
Use trials to verify fit
Trial lengths vary: Edworking gives seven days, eXo Platform, Google Workspace and Kumospace give 14 days, and Gather and Hiroba give 30 days.
A trial can help you check meetings, chat, task work, guest access and device support against your team’s routine before paying.
