In their own words
Quad
Quad is a virtual gathering space for groups that want to meet in a shared online room. Participants move between tables to find conversations and topics, while hosts can customize spaces and tables or choose a template. People can share interests to discover connections, and use spatial audio, games, screen and media sharing, shared web browsing, video watching, and music. Quad is available in a browser without a new software download. The site says it supports thousands of simultaneous participants, though the listed room capacity is 50 participants. Organizers can review engagement metrics and longitudinal data about connection growth. Quad presents offerings for affinity groups, education, and enterprise, including alumni groups, students, and remote or hybrid employees. The Free plan is free and includes up to 50 people, 25 tables, and four one-hour events. Pro is priced on request, with billing displayed as “$3 8 /guest”; Unlimited is priced on request, with “$149” billed.
