Workplace from Meta review and pricing

Winding down: Meta announced 2024 shutdown for 2026 with Workvivo migration.

By Meta · Founded 2016 · Menlo Park, CA · public

Workplace from Meta is the Facebook-style enterprise communications platform launched by Meta in 2016 and being wound down on Meta announcement in May 2024. The original September 2025 shutdown date was extended to August 2026 after customer pushback, but the product is in active end-of-life: no new sales, no new features beyond migration tooling, and a published partnership with Workvivo as the named migration destination. Roughly 7 million users across the installed base are migrating across 2024 to 2026. The product was, at its peak, the strongest Facebook-style activity-feed enterprise platform in the category, with a familiar UX that drove high adoption among non-technical and frontline workers. The buyer reality for 2026 is migration: customers still on Workplace face a tight migration window with vendor-led data export and content migration tooling that varies in quality, and the three primary migration destinations are Workvivo (Meta-named partnership), Staffbase, and Firstup. We list Workplace at rank 10 to document the migration reality rather than as a forward-looking recommendation; do not buy Workplace from Meta in 2026.
