Meetropolis vs RAUM

Meetropolis is an open-source virtual office for remote teams, set in a live 2D world with proximity-based spatial audio and video. Guest access and screen sharing are available. Phaser provides the live-world layer, while Colyseus powers real-time multi-user interaction. Teams can use the web application or self-host it with the supplied Docker Compose setup, which includes the web app, server, database, and LiveKit service. The self-host configuration uses PostgreSQL and documents SMTP email settings for invites, guest magic links, verification links, and welcome messages. Personal API tokens can control microphone, camera, screen sharing, and do-not-disturb status. Server components use AGPL-3.0-only; the web client and shared types use MIT. Tiamat UG offers a commercial license. The open-source server permits 25 concurrent users across the whole server, and the 26th user is kicked. Production self-hosters must supply a TLS terminator, configure production secrets and allowed CORS origins, and may need TURN for restrictive networks.

RAUM is a VR-first, no-code spatial collaboration platform for business teams, using avatars, spatial audio, and 3D tools. It supports meetings, workshops, training, onboarding, brainstorming, product reviews, and virtual events, with persistent rooms, guest access, role-based controls, and capacity for 100 participants. The download page lists Meta Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, Quest 3S, PICO 4, PICO Neo 3, Apple Vision Pro, and Windows PC VR. Participants without headsets can join the same worlds in a browser, but browser access is part of a paid plan. Native Apple betas are available through TestFlight for iPhone, iPad, and macOS. The free PC Spectator Cam captures sessions for recordings, live streams, or a second screen. Professional Plus costs €99 a month billed annually, or 150€/Month when billed monthly; Business Plus costs €599 a month billed annually, or 899€/Month when billed monthly. RAUM says it is hosted in Germany and GDPR-compliant.
