Comparison
An honest comparison of Workplace by Meta and Zoom Workvivo (features, pricing and the verdict now that Workplace is shutting down) from a Zoom Certified Integrator.
Workvivo is the clear forward path, because Workplace by Meta is being sunset. Meta is retiring Workplace and has named Zoom Workvivo as a preferred migration partner, so this is less "which is better" and more "where do you go now." To be fair to Workplace, it had a familiar Facebook-style interface and proven enterprise scale, genuine strengths that drove its adoption. But an end-of-life product can't be the answer for a multi-year intranet decision. Zoom Workvivo is actively developed, maps closely to Workplace's feature set, and is the named destination, and your Workplace history can come with you.

Head to head
Familiar Facebook-style UX. Workplace's signature strength was an interface employees already knew from consumer Facebook, adoption was near-zero friction, and that's a real advantage.
Proven scale. Workplace ran some of the largest deskless-workforce deployments in the world, so the model genuinely worked at enterprise scale.
The honest caveat. Both strengths are undercut by one fact: Workplace is shutting down. A familiar UX on an end-of-life platform isn't a reason to stay, it's a reason to choose a destination that feels similar, which is exactly Workvivo's design goal.
It has a future. Workvivo is actively developed and invested in, while Workplace is being retired, the single most important factor for a platform you'll run for years.
It's the named destination. Meta named Workvivo a preferred migration partner, so the path off Workplace is supported and proven, not a guess.
Like-for-like feature map. Company feed, groups/communities, knowledge library, recognition, surveys and an employee app, the Workplace pillars carry over, so the transition feels familiar.
One Zoom stack. Workvivo unifies with the rest of Zoom Workplace under one admin console and identity provider, instead of a standalone social tool bolted onto everything else.
The decisive factor here isn't a per-seat price comparison, it's continuity. Staying on Workplace means investing in a platform with a known end date, then migrating under time pressure anyway. Workvivo is priced as an employee-experience platform and consolidates neatly for organisations already on Zoom Workplace, bringing the intranet into the same vendor relationship as meetings, chat and phone. The real cost of delay is data: content typically goes read-only before final shutdown, so waiting risks losing clean export of your posts and knowledge.
Moving is straightforward with the right partner, and time-sensitive because of the shutdown. A Zoom Certified Integrator migrates your Workplace users, groups, posts and knowledge library into Workvivo with a phased, zero-data-loss cutover, sequenced to finish before Workplace goes read-only.
