WorkAdventure pricing starts at $11/user/month for the Remote Office plan. Cosmos charges $8.80 per concurrent user — only the people online at the same time count. For a 50-person team, that's $550/month on WorkAdventure vs $176/month on Cosmos, with better video quality and lighter resource usage.
The heaviest virtual office for the lowest video quality
WorkAdventure uses 16.7% CPU, 16.7% GPU, and 1.3GB RAM in a 10-person call — the highest resource consumption of any virtual office we've benchmarked. Despite that, it streams at just 360p. Cosmos uses 12.4% CPU, 4.8% GPU, and 758MB RAM while delivering 720p HD video on AV1.
No native apps, no quick access
WorkAdventure runs entirely in the browser with no desktop or mobile application. That means no dock icon, no system notifications, no background presence. Cosmos has native apps on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android alongside full browser access — your virtual office is always one click away.
GDPR alone isn't enough for enterprise teams
WorkAdventure is GDPR compliant but does not hold SOC 2 certification. For teams in finance, healthcare, or any regulated industry, SOC 2 is a baseline requirement. Cosmos holds SOC 2 Type II alongside GDPR, with AES-256 encryption and a 99.99% uptime SLA.

Cosmos Space Builder puts floor plan design in your hands — pick a template, drag and drop furniture, zones, and decorations, then publish instantly without disrupting live calls. WorkAdventure also offers a map editor with prebuilt templates and avatar customisation, but Cosmos provides more out-of-the-box templates and two distinct visual styles without requiring any technical knowledge.
Cosmos offers minimal professional themes for teams that prefer clean lines, and vibrant 2.5D environments for teams that want personality. Represent yourself with a Picture Bubble (profile photo) or an animated 2.5D Avatar. WorkAdventure uses a single pixel-art visual style.

Production Manager
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.
Accounting Manager
