You've probably heard of Neat. If you haven't, you will.
They're the brand that's quietly become the go-to choice for businesses that want premium video conferencing without the complexity that usually comes with it. Clean hardware.
Brilliant cameras. Dead simple to use. And a price point that reflects exactly that.
This guide covers what it costs to kit out a meeting room with Neat hardware in 2026, fully supplied and installed.
First, What Makes Neat Different?
Neat builds hardware exclusively for Microsoft Teams and Zoom. That's it. They don't try to do everything for everyone. They do one thing extremely well.
The result is a device that feels purpose-built rather than cobbled together. The cameras are exceptional, Neat's auto-framing and speaker tracking technology is genuinely impressive, particularly in larger rooms. The touchscreen controllers are intuitive. And the all-in-one form factor keeps installations clean and simple.
If you've ever walked into a meeting room where the tech just works, where you tap the screen, the call connects, the camera finds you automatically, there's a good chance it was a Neat room.
That quality comes at a price though. Neat sits above entry-level options like Yealink in terms of cost. It's a deliberate step up. The question is whether the experience justifies the premium for your business and for most enterprise clients we work with, it does.
One Important Note Before the Numbers
Neat currently runs in Appliance Mode only. That means the conferencing software runs directly on the device, no separate PC, no Windows compute box sitting behind the scenes.
For most businesses this is a non-issue. It simplifies the setup, reduces the number of things that can go wrong, and makes the room easier to manage. But if your IT environment requires Windows-based device management at room level, it's worth a conversation before you spec Neat across your estate.
Also worth flagging: Neat's range covers huddle spaces up to large meeting rooms. It's not designed for extra large boardroom environments, that's where you'd look at a different solution. If you need 18–20 person rooms covered, we'd spec those differently and price them separately.
The Pricing Breakdown
All prices below are guide figures for full supply and installation in Appliance Mode. A site survey is required before any final quote is confirmed. These prices do not include ongoing maintenance, managed services, or remote monitoring.
Huddle Room (2–4 People)
Guide Price: £5,500 – £6,750
Even at the small end, Neat doesn't cut corners. The Neat Bar or Neat Bar Essential in a huddle space gives you a camera that actually sees the whole room, clear audio pickup, and a touchscreen controller that anyone can use without training.
Compare this to a basic entry-level bar in the same space and the difference in experience is noticeable. If this room is used for client calls or senior team meetings, the premium is worth it.
Small Meeting Room (6–8 People)
Guide Price: £5,900 – £7,200
The step up from huddle to small room is modest in cost but significant in capability. Neat's auto-framing handles a six to eight person room comfortably — the camera intelligently frames active speakers and adjusts as people move around the table.
This is the room type that frustrates people most when it's done cheaply. The person in the corner of the frame, the echo on the audio, the camera that never quite captures the whiteboard. Neat solves all of that natively.
Medium Meeting Room (10–12 People)
Guide Price: £9,300 – £11,400
This is where Neat really earns its price tag. A ten to twelve person room is genuinely hard to do well. The audio pickup needs to cover the full table. The camera needs a wide enough field of view without making people at the back look like they're calling in from another postcode.
Neat's medium room solution handles this without the need for additional ceiling microphones or secondary cameras in most standard room configurations. That's a meaningful saving on both hardware and installation complexity — and it reduces the number of components that can fail.
Large Meeting Room (14–16 People)
Guide Price: £18,200 – £22,200
The price step here is significant and worth explaining. At this room size, Neat's solution requires more hardware — typically larger display setups, additional audio coverage, and a more complex installation. You're also at the top of what Neat's current range comfortably handles.
What you get for that investment is a large room that still feels as simple to use as a huddle space. No complex control panels, no multi-step startup process. One tap and the room is live.
For a boardroom or large client-facing space, that simplicity matters. The last thing you want is a £20,000 room that your teams avoid because nobody knows how to start it.
How Does Neat Compare to Yealink?
It's the question most IT Directors ask. The honest answer: Yealink is excellent value and performs very well, particularly in standard meeting room sizes. If budget is the primary driver and you need to cover a large estate cost-effectively, Yealink is a strong choice.
Neat is a step above in three specific areas: camera intelligence, build quality, and user experience simplicity. If you're kitting out client-facing rooms, senior leadership spaces, or high-frequency collaboration areas where the experience needs to be consistently excellent — Neat justifies the premium.
For many businesses the right answer is a combination of both. Yealink for standard meeting rooms across the estate, Neat for the rooms that matter most.
What's Included in These Prices?
All of the above cover hardware supply, professional installation by accredited engineers, commissioning, and basic user handover and training.
Not included: ongoing maintenance, remote monitoring, firmware management, or warranty tracking.
The Bit That Gets Overlooked Every Time
Neat hardware is smart. But it still needs someone watching it.
Firmware updates need managing. Rooms go offline. Devices throw errors at 8:47am on a Tuesday when your CEO is about to join a call with a client. And without a monitoring system in place, you find out about it the worst possible way.
SPORTrack monitors your full AV estate around the clock — every Neat device, every room, every location. It flags issues before they become failures and gives your IT team visibility without them having to physically check each room.
A brilliant room without monitoring is like a fast car with no dashboard. You won't know something's wrong until you're already on the hard shoulder.
