Spacepad vs. Meeting Room 365
Both run on tablets you choose and charge per display. Spacepad costs a little less, has a free plan, is open source and can run on your own servers.
Meeting Room 365 is a solid, mature product with one simple price per screen and wide device support. Spacepad works the same way at a lower price, and adds what Meeting Room 365 does not offer: a free display, CalDAV, an open source codebase and a self-hosted edition.
Choose Spacepad if
- You want to start with a free display and grow from there.
- You use Nextcloud or another CalDAV server instead of Microsoft or Google.
- Your security team wants to read the code, or run everything on your own servers.
- You prefer a European vendor with hosting in the Netherlands.
Meeting Room 365 may suit you better if
- You want to run displays on Amazon Fire tablets or in a browser on Windows or Linux.
- You use on-premises Exchange.
- You want a 30-day trial instead of 14 days.
