Three ways to pay nothing
Free cloud plan
One display in our EU cloud, free forever. No server, no maintenance, no credit card.

Why not free for everything?
Spacepad is built and supported by a small, independent team. Paid displays fund the development, the hosting and the support, and keep the product free of ads and investors who want a different business model.
Try every Pro feature free for 14 days before deciding. Pro stays far below the cost of dedicated room panels, which typically run several hundred euros per room in hardware alone.
