The Kumospace virtual office is the most expensive in its category at $20/member/month — yet it runs on VP8, a codec over 15 years old. Cosmos costs less, performs better, and includes features Kumospace charges extra for.
Your team doesn't need 2008-era video
Kumospace still uses VP8, a codec released in 2008. Cosmos runs on AV1 — the latest generation — delivering sharper video at lower bandwidth. Pair that with 96 kbps studio-grade audio versus Kumospace's 32 kbps, and the difference is immediately audible.
Screenshare that actually keeps up
Kumospace streams screen shares at 15 fps. Cosmos doubles that to 30 fps at a higher resolution (2880×1620 vs 2560×1440), with three optimisation modes — Slow Connection, Standard, and Smoother Video. Design reviews and code walkthroughs look noticeably smoother.
Save over 80% without losing a single feature
Kumospace bills every registered member at $20/month. Cosmos bills only concurrent users at $8.80/month — the people actually in the office. A 50-person team with 20 online pays $176/month on Cosmos instead of $1,000 on Kumospace.

My remote team needed help with isolation when using traditional communication tools. New team members struggled to seek support on Slack and felt anxious when waiting for a reply. Everyone being available in our Cosmos creates a sense of community; we go through crunch times together, saving us time compared to back-and-forth messages on Slack. For people who need community, Cosmos is a game changer.
