Gather Town ended its free plan and raised prices.
Switch to WorkAdventure for a more affordable, open alternative.
Dear Gather users,
As of September 15, 2025, Gather no longer offers a free plan — both Gather 1.0 and 2.0 moved to paid-only access, at $12 to $15 per user/month. And whether you need a virtual office, a classroom, or a space for events, Gather’s narrower, office-only focus makes it less flexible than it used to be.
We’ve got you covered.
Here is why teams trust WorkAdventure:
- Generous and affordable plans: Free plan for up to 10 concurrent users. Paid plans from €5 to €10 per user/month, with flexible daily options for events.
- Not just offices: Perfect for virtual offices, classrooms, onboarding, training and events of all sizes.
- Fully customizable: Build your own maps, use any assets, and white-label your space with your logo, style, and domain name.
- A dedicated support team to guide you through migration and daily use, with design teams available to create tailored virtual spaces
Switching from Gather is easy, and you can even import or recreate your favorite maps in WorkAdventure.
WorkAdventure is the reliable alternative to Gather Town, built for professional and educational use.
