Markee has publicly launched its browser-based collaboration software, supporting remote and in-house teams alike.
Markee is positioning itself as a rival solution to the likes of Slack, Zoom and Dropbox. The all-in-one collaboration offering allows users to host chats, video meetings and share files with anyone.
“All users will find Markee’s web-based collaboration platform easy to learn, to use and implement in their day-to-day hybrid or virtual office life,” said the vendor.
The startup is inviting customers to try out the early-access platform through its freemium model. Paid plans start at $25 per team member per month, with the ability to save on yearly plans.
The free version offers unlimited chat rooms, 3,000 video chat minutes and 3GB of file sharing.
The $25 monthly plan gives users custom branding and domains, unlimited video and text chat and 10GB of file sharing per subscriber.
“Our goal was to take the core features, what people actually need every day to successfully work in a virtual environment, and make it simpler,” said Markee CEO Craig Doig.
“Sometimes less is more, and that’s the case with Markee. With our platform, you can eliminate two to three SaaS products from your tech stack and focus on what’s important.”
With Markee, users can create chatrooms; schedule meetings; add their own logo, fonts and brand colours; connect their own custom domain; and see their team’s location within the platform.
They don’t have to download software, and don’t have to “decipher hard-to-read urls with room numbers and passwords” or be “distracted by features they don’t need or want”, said the firm.
“We didn’t want to lose security with simplicity,” added Chief Product Officer Zach Phillips. “Markee includes HIPAA-compliant video chats, encrypted file storage and secure text chat as standard. Your guests are yours, your data is yours, your content is yours – we track nothing.”
The company has effectively been in stealth mode since June 2020 when it was launched in Yorklyn, Delaware, the US, and has raised $1.2m in funding so far.
This isn’t the first team collaboration platform launched this week, as global managed service provider Logicalis unveiled a new offering based on technologies from existing partners Cisco and Microsoft.
