VRChat's clientele is diverse, ranging from VR enthusiasts to individuals looking for new social experiences.

The company's business model is centered around user-generated content.

This model fosters a sense of community and encourages continuous engagement with the platform.

VRChat also offers features such as full-body avatars with lip sync, eye tracking, and a complete range of motion, 3-D spatialized audio, and a variety of games and activities. These features enhance the user experience, making the platform more immersive and interactive.

The company generates revenue through a freemium model. While the basic use of the platform is free, VRChat offers premium features at a cost. These include access to exclusive worlds, priority server access, and increased avatar slots.
