Kayden Connect

TRANSPARENT PRICING

Workvivo's a strong product. Kayden's the honest one.

Workvivo is a capable employee experience platform — and it's now part of Zoom. Kayden Connect is the standalone alternative: published pricing, EU-first data residency, and a 14-day free trial you can start without a sales call.

Why teams switch

Three reasons teams move from Workvivo

Pricing you can read on a webpage

Workvivo's pricing is gated behind a sales call — you won't see a number until you've booked a meeting. Kayden Spark is $4/user, Command is $8, HQ is $15. All published, all on /pricing.

EU-first data residency

Kayden Connect runs in europe-west1 by default — no add-on, no enterprise tier required. Workvivo defaults to US infrastructure and treats EU residency as an enterprise-deal negotiation.

Standalone, not a Zoom bundle play

Workvivo's roadmap now flows through Zoom — its AI features arrive via Zoom AI Companion, its chat layer leans on Zoom Team Chat. Kayden Connect is its own product, with no parent-company integrations to defend.
