Walk over to talk. Then keep chatting.
Gather is a virtual office built around meetings. Probed is a full chat app, with a pixel-art map to hang out in for the members you give a seat.
Stay on Gather if
- Your team runs on meetings.
- You need recordings, transcripts and AI meeting notes.
Switch to Probed if
- You want chat first, with a place to hang out.
- Only some people need the map.
- Your community's ideas belong next to the conversation.
What's different
Chat first, with a map to hang out in.
Walk into a room on the map and you're talking, with video and screen share. Everything else, from channels to events, works whether or not someone has a map seat.
Pay for the map only where it's used.
Gather charges for every member. On Probed the space has one plan, and you add map seats only for the people who want to walk around.
20 people, 5 of them on the map, billed yearly: Gather $240/mo (Essential, $12 a member), Probed $49/mo (Premium $190/yr, plus 5 map seats at $80/yr).
Ideas next to the conversation.
Your group posts ideas, votes, and follows a public roadmap in the same space they chat in. Gather doesn't have one.
Side by side
Gather wins 1. Probed wins 2. 3 come down to your group.
Common questions
Is Probed a Gather alternative?
For many groups, yes. People walk into rooms on the map to talk, with video and screen share, inside a full chat app. Probed doesn't record or transcribe meetings, so if those matter most, Gather is the better fit.
How is the map priced?
It's an add-on for Premium and Business spaces at $8 per seat a month, or $80 a year. You choose who gets a seat; everyone else keeps chat, voice and the rest. Members never pay.
