Small teams weighing Loop phone booths against other options should pick the booth by headcount and call type before brand. For one person on calls, the Folio office phone booth is Soundbox Store's single-person answer. For two people, it is the Quell 2-person booth. For a four-person huddle, it is the Quell 4-person pod.
- The best loop phone booths alternatives for small teams are sized by headcount: Folio for one, Quell for two or four.
- Soundbox Store sells single-person, 2-person, 4-person and 6-person acoustic pods direct online.
- Buy the smallest booth that fits your most common call, not your biggest meeting.
- Shared use by several people is the usual reason a small team outgrows a solo booth.
Why this matters
A small team rarely needs a full meeting room. It needs somewhere to take a client call, run a video interview or hold a two-person conversation without the open office listening in.
Getting the size wrong is the expensive mistake. A solo booth that two people keep trying to share becomes a bottleneck. A four-person pod bought for one daily caller wastes floor area.
This page compares Soundbox Store's own booth range against the question a small team actually asks: which one fits how we work? It makes no claims about any other vendor's products. Check any competing quote directly against the same questions below.

1. Folio: best for the daily caller
The Folio is a soundproof office phone booth designed for one person to take private calls, join Zoom meetings or focus. It is the direct fit for a small team where one or two people spend most of the day on the phone.
Where the Folio shines
- Built for a single occupant, so the footprint stays small.
- Suits calls and video meetings, the most common small-team need.
- Sits in the phone booth category rather than the meeting room category, which keeps the purchase decision simple.
Where the Folio falls short
- One person only. A call with a colleague alongside needs a larger booth.
- Not a meeting space.
Best for: teams of two to six where each call is taken alone. Verdict: Buy if your calls are one-person.
2. Quell Solo: best for focus work
The Quell Solo is the single-person pod in the Quell range. It matches the Folio on capacity, so the choice comes down to the look and finish you prefer on the product pages.
Where the Quell Solo shines
- Single-person format for focus work and private calls.
- Part of the wider Quell range, so a later move up to a larger Quell pod keeps the same visual language.
Where the Quell Solo falls short
- One person only, like the Folio.
- Compare it with the Folio on the product pages before choosing; both serve the same capacity.
Best for: teams that expect to add larger Quell pods later. Verdict: Buy if you want a matching set.
3. Quell 2-person booth: best for the first meeting space
The Quell 2-person booth is a soundproof, freestanding acoustic enclosure designed for two people to hold private meetings. For a small team, this is the size that replaces a booked meeting room for most one-to-one conversations.
Where the Quell 2-person shines
- Two seats' worth of capacity for one-to-ones, client calls with a colleague and interviews.
- Freestanding, so it does not depend on building the room into the office.
- Also works for a single caller who wants more space than a phone booth.
Where the Quell 2-person falls short
- Larger than a phone booth, so it uses more floor area.
- Three or more people will not fit; step up to the 4-person.
Best for: teams that need private meetings, not just calls. Verdict: Buy for most teams of five to fifteen.
4. Folio Stand Up: best for quick calls
The Folio Stand Up is the stand-up version of the Folio phone booth. It suits short, frequent calls where a person does not need to settle in.
Where the Folio Stand Up shines
- Stand-up format suits quick calls and fast turnover.
- Same Folio range as the seated phone booth.
Where the Folio Stand Up falls short
- Not the right pick for long calls or extended video meetings, where the seated Folio fits better.
- One person only.
Best for: sales and support callers making short calls. Verdict: Hold until you know your call length; for long calls, take the seated Folio.
5. Quell 4-person pod: best for team huddles
The Quell 4-person pod is the step up when a small team needs a private room for a stand-up, a client meeting or a planning session.
Where the Quell 4-person shines
- Holds a full small-team huddle in one enclosed space.
- Replaces a booked meeting room for the most common group size.
Where the Quell 4-person falls short
- Takes real floor area, so measure before you order.
- Overkill if most of your meetings are one-to-ones.
Best for: teams that meet in groups of three or four several times a week. Verdict: Buy if group meetings are your main pain point.
6. Quell Demi: best for flexible 2 to 4 person use
The Quell Demi is listed as a 2 to 4 person soundproof pod for meetings. It sits between the 2-person booth and the 4-person pod.
Where the Quell Demi shines
- Covers both pairs and small groups in one booth.
- Useful when meeting size varies week to week.
Where the Quell Demi falls short
- A flexible size is a compromise. If you always meet in pairs, the 2-person booth is the tighter fit.
- Check the product page for dimensions before committing floor space.
Best for: teams with mixed meeting sizes. Verdict: Hold until you have counted your typical group size.
How to choose when you are comparing vendors
Whatever you shortlist, run the same four checks against every quote:
- Headcount per use. Count how many people are in your most common call or meeting, not your largest.
- Call versus meeting. Calls need a phone booth. Meetings need a pod with seating for the group.
- Floor area. Measure the spot you plan to use and compare it with the dimensions on the product page.
- Published detail. Ask each vendor for the same specification sheet so you compare like with like.
For a deeper walkthrough of sizing, see the guide on how to choose office pod size.
When staying with your current shortlist is the right call
If a booth you have already priced matches your headcount, your floor area and your call pattern, switching adds delay for no gain. Size matters more than brand here.
Look elsewhere if the capacity is wrong, the footprint does not fit your space, or the vendor cannot give you the specification detail you need to decide.
FAQ
What is the best phone booth for a small team?
The best phone booth for a small team is the one sized to your most common call. For single callers, the Folio office phone booth fits. Step up to the Quell 2-person booth when two people need private space together.
How many people fit in a Soundbox Store booth?
Soundbox Store sells booths for one person, two people, four people and six people. The Folio and Quell Solo are single-person. The Quell 2-person, Quell 4-person and Quell 6-person scale up from there.
Is a phone booth or a meeting pod better for a small team?
A phone booth is better for calls taken alone. A meeting pod is better when two or more people need to talk privately. Most small teams need one of each rather than a single large pod.
Can a small team use one booth for everything?
Yes, but expect queues. One booth used for calls and meetings means people wait. Match the booth to the dominant use and add a second one when bookings clash.
What should I compare when looking at alternatives?
Compare capacity, floor area, seating and the specification detail each vendor publishes. Ask every vendor the same questions so the answers line up side by side.
Where do I find current pricing?
Check the product page for each booth on the Soundbox Store site. Pricing and availability are listed there and change over time.
One last thing
Most small teams buy too big. If your meetings are mostly two people, start with the Quell 2-person booth and add a phone booth later. A four-person pod only earns its floor area when group meetings are weekly, not occasional.
