Comparison · Pencil Spaces vs Zoom · 2026
Goodbye meetings. Hello teaching.
Zoom is the face of the meeting — and a meeting is the wrong shape for a lesson. Pencil Spaces is the Zoom alternative built for teaching and tutoring: a purpose-built virtual classroom with persistent rooms, infinite whiteboards and the teaching tools your lesson actually needs — no 40-minute cap in sight.

Hello teaching
Pencil Spaces
A classroom built for how teaching and tutoring actually work — students, not attendees; lessons, not calls.
