Three-platform comparison updated August 3, 2026
Revival vs Preservation vs Evolution
Myspace, SpaceHey, and Simply Sound Society are not three versions of the same product.
They represent three different answers to the same question: what should happen to personal, customizable social media after standardized profiles and algorithm-driven feeds became the norm?
The Quick Verdict
Myspace represents revival. It owns the famous name, the history, the music legacy, and the cultural memory—but its future product, features, launch date, apps, pricing, and customization system have not been announced.
SpaceHey represents preservation. It is the strongest established recreation of the classic Myspace experience, with more than two million registered members according to its official site, raw HTML/CSS profiles, community layouts, Blogs, Bulletins, Forums, Instant Messages, chronological feeds, and official mobile apps.
Simply Sound Society represents evolution. It carries forward the belief that social profiles should be personal, then expands the idea into Digital Homes with Whole Home design, customizable rooms, no-code editing, effects, drafts, recovery, communities, messaging, voice notes, voice/video calls, screen sharing, gamification, and layered moderation.
Myspace
The original cultural brand returning with unmatched recognition—but an unrevealed product and no confirmed feature set.
SpaceHey
A living retro network preserving classic layouts, familiar social structures, chronological feeds, and old-web code culture.
Simply Sound Society
A modern platform developing the customizable profile into a connected Digital Home with contemporary social infrastructure.
Comparing these platforms requires unusual care because only two of them currently offer a revealed social product.
SpaceHey is live.
Simply Sound Society is live.
The future Myspace is still a promise.
Its current owners have said they intend to relaunch it, but they have not shown what they are building. That means any comparison presenting Top 8, profile music, HTML layouts, mobile apps, or a chronological feed as confirmed new-Myspace features is comparing two real platforms against a fan-written imaginary third.
We are not going to do that.
This comparison labels every unrevealed Myspace category honestly and focuses on the more meaningful strategic difference:
Should customizable social media return by reviving the original, preserving the old experience, or evolving the idea into something broader?
What Are We Actually Comparing?
This article compares three different things:
- Myspace’s documented legacy and its owners’ confirmed intention to relaunch
- SpaceHey’s currently available platform and official public claims
- Simply Sound Society’s currently implemented platform and verified production capabilities
When discussing the future Myspace, unrevealed features are marked Not announced.
When discussing SpaceHey’s statements about algorithms, tracking, advertising, or member totals, those statements are attributed to SpaceHey rather than presented as an independent audit.
Simply Sound Advice operates SSS. We therefore disclose that relationship and include SSS’s major weakness—its much smaller community—rather than comparing only the columns where the home team arrives wearing ceremonial armor.

Myspace: The Famous Original With an Unrevealed Future
Myspace enters this comparison with an advantage no independent competitor can reproduce:
Nearly everyone already understands the emotional promise of the name.
Myspace represents:
- Custom profile layouts
- Profile songs
- Top 8
- Comments and visible friendships
- Personal blogs and Bulletins
- Independent artists and music discovery
- Early HTML and CSS experimentation
- A social profile that could look nothing like the profile beside it
The current owners, Tim and Chris Vanderhook, say they still own Myspace, view themselves as stewards of the brand, and intend to relaunch it.
They have not announced:
- A launch date
- A public beta
- A waitlist
- Classic layouts
- Custom HTML or CSS
- Profile songs
- Top 8
- A chronological feed
- An advertising model
- Native apps
- Pricing
- A safety or moderation system
That uncertainty is not a minor footnote. It is the entire product comparison.
The Myspace name can bring more launch-day attention than SpaceHey and SSS could generate together through years of ordinary marketing.
Attention does not guarantee that the platform will resemble the Myspace people remember.
The owners have tried a major reinvention before. Their post-acquisition version focused heavily on artists and entertainment, involved Justin Timberlake, and reportedly produced losses exceeding $150 million.
They describe that version as an entirely new Myspace—but also acknowledge that it did not feel like the same company or culture.
Myspace’s Potential Advantages
- Unmatched brand recognition
- Deep connection to music and artist culture
- Millions of former users curious about a return
- Mainstream press coverage before a product reveal
- A familiar emotional promise
- Resources and advertising-technology experience through Viant
What Remains Unknown
- Whether it will resemble classic Myspace
- Whether meaningful customization will return
- Whether the relaunch will prioritize music, profiles, or entertainment content
- How advertising and data use will work
- Whether modern messages, calls, groups, and community tools will exist
- Whether nostalgia can become lasting culture
Myspace is therefore the most powerful possibility and the least testable product in this comparison.

Our separate analysis, What the New Myspace Must Get Right, examines the systems required to survive after the initial nostalgia surge.
SpaceHey: The Established Guardian of the Classic Experience
SpaceHey does not need to speculate about whether people still want classic Myspace culture.
It has been answering that question since 2020.
The official SpaceHey site describes the platform as a retro social network focused on privacy and customizability. It currently claims more than two million registered members and offers:
- Bulletins
- Blogs
- Forums
- Instant Messages
- Groups
- Friends
- Profile comments
- Custom HTML and CSS
- A public community-layout directory
- Official iPhone and Android apps
SpaceHey also says:
- Its feeds are chronological
- It does not use tracking
- It does not use personalized ads
- It does not inject suggested content
- It is funded through donations, merchandise, and community support
Those are SpaceHey’s own published claims rather than an independent technical audit.
Its largest achievement is not any single feature.
It created a recognizable culture.
SpaceHey profiles are not merely accounts using a retro stylesheet. Members have built a genuine layout ecosystem containing:
- Complete visual themes
- Custom cursors
- Background music
- Loading screens
- Animated profile elements
- Custom contact tables
- Fonts, borders, banners, icons, GIFs, and floating decorations
- Member-written HTML and CSS tutorials
The public layout directory gives creators visible reach and gives beginners a straightforward path:
- Find a layout
- Inspect its appearance
- Copy the code
- Paste it into the profile
- Modify it—or pray politely over it
That system has limitations.
A member who does not understand the code may struggle to change one component without breaking another. Layouts can target fragile selectors. Mobile presentation may differ from desktop expectations. Troubleshooting community code at large scale is difficult.
The rawness is also part of SpaceHey’s identity.
SpaceHey is not trying to hide the code or turn the old-web experience into a modern drag-and-drop product. It preserves the idea that profiles are partly built, exchanged, taught, and remixed by the community.
Where SpaceHey Leads
- Largest registered network in this direct category
- Strongest recognizable retro culture
- Large public layout ecosystem
- Simple and focused product identity
- Raw HTML and CSS freedom
- Chronological feed positioning
- Official iPhone and Android apps
- Established community-created tutorials and designs
SpaceHey’s Main Tradeoffs
- Currently invite-only
- Customization remains strongly code-oriented
- No comparable structured multi-room profile editor
- No comparable versioned design-recovery architecture advertised
- Voice notes and voice/video calls are not highlighted on official feature pages
- Large registration totals do not reveal current active-member density
SpaceHey is the clearest choice for someone who says:
I do not want Myspace reinvented. I want the old experience preserved, populated, and still available.
Visit SpaceHey’s official About page, view its community layouts, or explore its mobile apps.
Simply Sound Society: Building What the Custom Profile Could Have Become
Simply Sound Society begins with the same insight that made Myspace memorable:
A social profile should reveal something about the person before the visitor reads the first post.
SSS does not preserve one old profile page.
It develops the idea into a Digital Home.
A Digital Home is the member’s connected identity across multiple profile areas. It begins with a Whole Home design foundation and allows individual rooms to inherit that style or develop their own visual atmosphere.
That means a member can create one coherent personal environment while still giving different parts of the profile distinct purposes and moods.
SSS customization currently includes:
- Quick Mode
- Preset-based design
- A full no-code Studio
- Classic customization workflows
- Live preview beside the real profile
- Whole Home inheritance
- Room-specific overrides
- Private drafts
- Intentional publishing
- Custom CSS
- Safe HTML Blocks
- Sticker Blocks
- Profile music
- Auras
- Cursor identities and trails
- Reactive effects
- Atmospheric effects
- Design history
- Restore points
- Safe View
- Member and administrator Safe Mode
- Last Known Good recovery
- An automatic profile circuit breaker
Members do not need to code.
Advanced creators still have room to use CSS and safe custom content without gaining unrestricted control over the global application shell.
SSS also supports Copy This Look. When a creator opts in, another member can copy compatible design choices into a private draft, preview the result using their own content, and publish only when ready.
That is not yet the same as SpaceHey’s large public layout directory. SSS has the structured transfer mechanism, but its creator-discovery ecosystem remains far smaller.
The Digital Home lives inside a broader social platform containing:
- Friends and a separate follow system
- Activity feeds and Digital Home walls
- Nested comments, reactions, mentions, hashtags, favorites, sharing, and voting
- Groups and group conversations
- Blogs
- Photos and videos
- Forums
- Dedicated questions and answers
- BP Events
- Nearby-member and nearby-group discovery
- SocietyStars, experience, quests, badges, ranks, and achievements
- Private and group WebSocket messaging
- Voice messages
- One-to-one and group audio calls
- One-to-one and group video calls
- Screen sharing
- Background message and call notifications
SSS safety combines:
- Blocking
- Member reporting
- Age-aware communication rules
- Group membership and moderator permissions
- Guardian platform monitoring
- Better Messages AI moderation for text and images
- Human review rather than automatic punishment by default
- Account restrictions that apply across communication paths
The platform’s largest weakness is not hidden.
SSS is small.
Its technical breadth exceeds its current social density. It has more spaces, tools, communication modes, and customization systems than its early community can fill simultaneously.
That makes onboarding and member recruitment unusually important.
It also creates a real founding opportunity. Early members can become visible creators, establish groups, shape community expectations, recommend changes, and influence the atmosphere before an established culture becomes difficult to alter.
Where SSS Leads
- Structured no-code customization depth
- Whole Home plus independently customizable rooms
- Native effects and atmospheric identity
- Drafts, history, rollback, and profile recovery
- Modern private and group communication
- Voice notes, voice/video calls, and screen sharing
- Forums, Q&A, events, blogs, groups, media, and gamification together
- Age-aware and AI-assisted moderation layers
SSS’s Main Tradeoffs
- Far smaller community than SpaceHey
- Broad feature set can initially feel substantial
- Public theme and creator discovery is not yet mature
- Native store distribution is still being completed
- Early groups need founding members willing to create activity
- The platform must communicate its existing capabilities more clearly
SSS is the clearest choice for someone who says:
I want the creative ownership people miss from Myspace, but I do not want the surrounding social technology frozen in 2006.

Round 1: Which Platform Has the Best Profile Customization?
SpaceHey’s raw HTML/CSS system and large public layout directory make it the stronger choice for members who want the recognizable old-web process of finding code, pasting it, modifying it, and sharing complete profile designs.
SSS offers the broader structured design system: Quick Mode, presets, a full no-code Studio, Whole Home inheritance, individual rooms, live preview, drafts, effects, custom CSS, Safe HTML, and recovery.
Custom layouts, HTML, CSS, profile music, themes, and design tools have not been confirmed for the relaunch.
The difference between SpaceHey and SSS is not simply that one has more settings.
They define customization differently:
- SpaceHey: one highly customizable classic profile page shaped through code and layouts
- SSS: a connected personal environment shaped through structured design, rooms, effects, code, drafts, and publishing
Neither approach is universally superior.
SpaceHey is more direct, culturally established, and immediately familiar to old-Myspace users.
SSS is more ambitious, guided, layered, and resilient.
Round 2: Which Has the Strongest Community and Social Features?
SpaceHey officially claims more than two million registered members. SSS cannot reasonably compete with that number today.
Registered accounts are not the same as daily active users, but scale still matters. More profiles, blogs, layouts, forum posts, and established social circles create a stronger sense that activity already exists before a new person arrives.
SSS combines more social systems inside one platform: friends, follows, feeds, walls, groups, blogs, photos, videos, Forums, Q&A, BP Events, nearby discovery, chatrooms, messages, calls, voting, SocietyStars, quests, badges, ranks, and achievements.
If Myspace formally relaunches, its opening wave could dwarf both independent platforms. Whether those visitors form a lasting community is the unanswered question.
The choice is therefore between:
- A larger existing retro neighborhood
- A smaller but broader platform where early members can influence the neighborhood
- A famous future city that has not yet published the building plans
Round 3: Messaging, Voice Notes, Calls, and Screen Sharing
SSS currently supports:
- Private text conversations
- Multi-member conversations
- Personal and group chatrooms
- Voice messages
- Private voice calls
- Private video calls
- Group voice calls
- Group video calls
- Screen sharing
- WebSocket real-time delivery
- Background message and call notifications
SpaceHey publicly advertises Instant Messages and mobile chat. Its official feature pages reviewed for this article do not advertise a comparable integrated voice-note, voice-call, video-call, group-call, or screen-sharing stack.
The new Myspace has announced none of those systems.
This category demonstrates the main strategic difference.
SpaceHey preserves the retro social network.
SSS attempts to make the customizable profile the center of a modern communication environment.
Round 4: Music and Personal Identity
No platform in this comparison can reproduce Myspace’s cultural role in independent music, local scenes, artist discovery, profile songs, band pages, and direct fan relationships.
That legacy belongs to the original.
Whether the relaunch will restore music as a central social system is not announced.
SpaceHey members use profile code and embeds to add songs, playlists, players, and music-centered layouts. The practice fits naturally inside its old-web creator culture.
SSS includes profile music behavior inside the broader Digital Home and supports established external media integrations.
SSS does not currently operate a native artist-hosting ecosystem comparable to historic Myspace Music. It chose not to become an unlimited music host before solving storage, rights, takedowns, and creator economics.
That is less glamorous than announcing free music hosting and later discovering that copyright law has arrived with a clipboard.
Round 5: Feeds, Algorithms, and Discovery
SpaceHey says its feeds are chronological, that it does not use algorithms or suggested content, and that it does not use tracking or personalized advertising.
Those are concise, easy-to-understand promises.
SSS does not use an engagement-maximizing recommendation engine that continuously ranks content according to predicted attention.
Its general activity ordering is rules-based and friend-first, considering relationships, the member’s own activity, activity type, and recency. Search, hashtags, groups, and direct contexts have their own behavior.
That means SSS should not describe the entire feed as purely chronological.
Former Myspace leaders have criticized modern engagement algorithms and contrasted them with music discovery and direct socializing.
That commentary does not establish how the new product’s feed will work.
This is a useful philosophical split:
- SpaceHey: chronology and member choice as a clear retro principle
- SSS: transparent relationship-based ordering without an engagement-maximizing recommendation loop
- Myspace: no announced answer
Round 6: Mobile Apps and Cross-Device Access
SpaceHey offers official Android and iPhone applications. Its mobile page says members can customize profiles, write Bulletins, discover people, and chat with friends from their phones.
SSS currently supports:
- Responsive web access
- Installable PWA behavior
- iPhone Add to Home Screen
- Android application access
- Background message and call behavior through supported clients
- Native Society Sends messaging apps being prepared for App Store and Google Play distribution
SpaceHey has the stronger completed store-distribution position today.
SSS has the broader app-like communication stack but is still completing native store publication.
A relaunch without serious mobile access would be commercially difficult, but likely is not the same as confirmed.
Round 7: Safety, Reporting, and Moderation
Comparing safety from public pages is difficult because a visible report button does not reveal the system behind it.
SSS combines:
- Bidirectional blocking
- Member and content reporting
- Age-aware communication policy
- Friendship and group-membership restrictions
- Guardian cross-surface monitoring
- Better Messages AI text-and-image moderation
- Grooming, violence, threat, minor-safety, contact-sharing, doxxing, scam, and other categories
- Human review rather than automatic blocking by default
- Account restrictions checked across messages and calls
Better Messages’ moderation layer can operate in flag-only mode, allowing suspicious content to be delivered but surfaced for review rather than automatically punishing a member based solely on an AI classification.
SpaceHey maintains Rules, reporting channels, an abuse-report system, support contact information, and platform moderation. Its public-facing materials reviewed here do not expose enough internal detail to compare automated detection architecture directly.
The future Myspace has not announced its approach.
Myspace’s historic brand strength also creates a larger safety obligation. A mainstream relaunch attracting adults, teens, artists, celebrities, and large public communities would need serious moderation from the beginning—not after the first crisis reaches national news.
Round 8: Scale, Culture, and the Ability to Influence the Platform
SpaceHey already has recognizable visual customs, layout creators, forum discussions, established social circles, blogs, and years of member history.
A new member enters a world that already has social gravity.
SSS’s smaller size means fewer active conversations today.
It also means an individual member has a far greater chance to:
- Become a recognized profile creator
- Establish a leading group
- Influence community expectations
- Suggest features that receive serious consideration
- Shape the atmosphere before the platform becomes crowded
Founding Members receive all currently released featured customization packs except Society Elite.
A real Myspace relaunch could immediately attract former users, celebrities, artists, brands, journalists, and curious younger users.
That scale creates excitement.
It also means ordinary early members may have less opportunity to shape the platform before large accounts and commercial interests arrive.
The cultural choice is therefore unusually clear:
- SpaceHey: enter an established independent retro culture
- SSS: help form a smaller emerging culture
- Myspace: potentially enter a massive mainstream comeback wave
Should SpaceHey or SSS Be Worried About the Myspace Comeback?
Yes—but not equally, and not only negatively.
Myspace Is a More Direct Threat to SpaceHey
SpaceHey’s strongest positioning is that it recreates the classic social experience Myspace abandoned.
If the actual Myspace returns with:
- Classic visual language
- HTML/CSS profiles
- Top 8
- Profile songs
- Bulletins
- Blogs
- A large launch audience
then Myspace would directly challenge SpaceHey’s cultural territory using the original name and far greater mainstream recognition.
That does not mean SpaceHey disappears.
Independent communities often retain loyal members precisely because they are smaller, creator-led, and separate from corporate platforms. Myspace may also relaunch in a direction that barely resembles the version SpaceHey preserves.
Myspace Is a Less Direct Product Threat to SSS
SSS shares the customization conversation but has already moved further away from literal recreation.
Its main proposition is not:
Here is old Myspace again.
It is:
Here is what the customizable social profile can become when it keeps evolving.
Myspace could still compete for the same people, attention, searches, and creative energy.
It could also increase demand for:
- Profile customization
- Profile music
- Old-web graphics
- Friend-centered feeds
- Smaller communities
- Alternatives to standardized social profiles
That broader demand would benefit SpaceHey, SSS, FriendRewind, FriendProject, and other customizable networks—even if Myspace captures the largest headlines.
Myspace can create the tornado.
Independent platforms can still pick up the people looking for something more retro, more independent, more customizable, more modern, or simply different from whatever the official relaunch becomes.
Which Platform Should You Choose?
You can also join more than one.
A SpaceHey profile can satisfy the desire for a classic code-driven page.
An SSS Digital Home can satisfy the desire for a broader modern environment.
A future Myspace account may eventually satisfy nostalgia, cultural curiosity, artist discovery, or something entirely different.
Social platforms are communities, not kitchen appliances. A feature comparison can identify the available tools, but only spending time among the people reveals whether the place feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SpaceHey the same as Myspace?
No. SpaceHey is an independent fan-based project inspired by classic Myspace and is not affiliated with Myspace. It recreates many familiar structural and customization ideas using its own platform and community.
Is Simply Sound Society a Myspace clone?
No. SSS shares the belief that profiles should be personal, but its Digital Home model, Whole Home design, customizable rooms, Studio, effects, drafts, recovery, calls, events, Q&A, gamification, and moderation take the concept in a different direction.
Which is more like old Myspace: SpaceHey or SSS?
SpaceHey is substantially closer to the classic interface, profile structure, code culture, and overall retro experience. SSS is designed as a modern evolution rather than a direct recreation.
Which has better profile customization?
SpaceHey is stronger for raw classic HTML/CSS layouts and public layout discovery. SSS is stronger for structured no-code customization, multiple profile rooms, live preview, drafts, native effects, and recovery. The better choice depends on how someone wants to create.
Does SpaceHey have more users than SSS?
Yes. SpaceHey officially claims more than two million registered members. SSS is a much smaller early-stage platform.
Does SpaceHey have voice and video calls?
SpaceHey’s official public feature pages reviewed for this comparison advertise Instant Messages and mobile chats but do not advertise an integrated voice/video calling system comparable to SSS’s current calling stack.
Does SSS allow HTML and CSS?
SSS supports custom CSS and dedicated Safe HTML Blocks inside a protected application environment. It does not permit unrestricted member JavaScript across the platform shell.
Is SpaceHey algorithm-free?
SpaceHey states that its feeds are chronological and that it uses no algorithms, tracking, personalized ads, or suggested content. Those are SpaceHey’s published claims.
Is SSS chronological?
Not entirely. SSS uses deterministic, friend-first ordering in its general feed rather than an engagement-maximizing recommendation algorithm. Search, hashtags, groups, direct activity pages, and other contexts have their own ordering behavior.
Should SpaceHey users be worried about Myspace returning?
A genuinely retro Myspace relaunch would compete directly with SpaceHey’s strongest positioning. SpaceHey may still retain members who prefer its independence, existing culture, creator-led layout ecosystem, and distance from a larger corporate platform.
Should I wait for the new Myspace?
There is no reason to wait exclusively. No date, public beta, screenshots, apps, or confirmed feature list exists. Trying SpaceHey or SSS now does not prevent anyone from joining the official Myspace later.
Which platform is best overall?
SpaceHey is best for an established pure retro experience. SSS is best for a broader modern platform built around advanced customization and communication. Myspace cannot be evaluated as a future product until it is revealed.
Final Verdict: The Original Name, the Living Time Capsule, and the Digital Home
Myspace, SpaceHey, and Simply Sound Society represent three different beliefs about what customizable social media should become.
Myspace asks whether the original brand can return.
SpaceHey asks whether the old experience was worth preserving.
Simply Sound Society asks what might have happened if the customizable social profile had continued evolving.
None of those questions invalidates the others.
Myspace may return with enough recognition to make customization culturally mainstream again.
SpaceHey has already proven that millions of people are willing to register for a focused retro network built around profiles, friends, layouts, Blogs, Bulletins, and Forums.
SSS is proving that deep customization can live beside modern messages, calls, communities, events, gamification, safety systems, drafts, and automatic recovery.
The best future may not belong to one winner.
The customizable-social revival may support:
- A mainstream original
- An independent retro community
- A modern Digital Home platform
- Several smaller networks exploring entirely different creative paths
The real victory would be giving people choices again.
A social internet where one person can choose the familiar old layout, another can choose a room-by-room Digital Home, and a third can wait to see what the original Myspace becomes is already more interesting than an internet where every person receives the same profile card and a slightly different endless feed.
