- They diverge on capability: Kumospace covers Proximity audio and video, Mural covers Infinite canvas.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Kumospace
- Reporting from late 2025 described the team as having shrunk to roughly eleven people with the chief executive publicly listed as leading a separate company, so continuity is a genuine question and should be checked before a multi-year commitment.
- Product development has visibly slowed against the category; capabilities that rivals now treat as standard, such as an AI note taker and asynchronous video, are absent.
- Leaving a spatial office open all day means continuous audio and video connections, which is heavier on laptop battery and bandwidth than an occasional call and is a real complaint from users on poor connections.
- The free tier caps at five registered members, which is below the size at which a spatial office starts to be useful, so evaluating it properly requires paying.
- Adoption is behavioural, not technical: teams that do not build a habit of being present in the space get nothing from it, and the licence quietly becomes an unused cost that shows up at renewal.
Mural
- The free plan allows 3 editable murals at a time, so working on a fourth means archiving one
- Mural AI and the Zoom and Webex integrations require Team+ at $9.99 per member per month billed annually
- SSO and the Okta, Azure and GitHub integrations are Business only at $17.99 per member per month
- Multiple workspaces, SCIM, audit logs and enforced 2FA are Enterprise only with no published price
