OfficeRnD alternatives: 11 coworking space tools compared

Operators look for an OfficeRnD alternative when the bill follows how many desks and rooms they let, when the entry tier runs out of members, or when they want features included that OfficeRnD sells as add-ons. Some also want a vendor with a stated European base, or software built for workplace booking, retreats or corporate real estate instead.

Short answer: Cobot, Coworks and Proximity head the list of OfficeRnD alternatives drawn from our coworking space software ranking. Challengers take places 1 to 3 here. Big brands follow in the order of our category ranking. Cobot is the one to try if you want one German vendor and a bill based on paying members. The 11 entries that follow are all ranked in Best Coworking Space Software in 2026; each one explains what sets it apart from OfficeRnD.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

OfficeRnD

#5 of 12 in our coworking space software ranking

  • Pricing: Published monthly plans by member band with per-resource and per-room fees; annual rate lower; top tier custom; demo-led
  • Established in: United Kingdom
  • Built for: Growing multi-site operators who want published tiers and guided data import
  • Not for: Spaces wanting self-serve sign-up or a stated trial period
01

Why buyers look past OfficeRnD

  1. 01

    Resources and rooms are billed one by one

    The Flex pricing page lists plans in euros with a per-resource fee of 2.70 a month and a per-meeting-room fee of 11 on the first tiers, rising to 4 and 13 on Grow. Letting more desks or rooms therefore raises the invoice even when membership stays flat.

  2. 02

    Member caps force an upgrade

    Essentials covers up to 50 members at one location, Start 100 members, Grow 200 members and two locations. Passing a cap means moving up a tier, and the Scale plan is priced on request.

  3. 03

    Useful features sit outside the base plan

    The page lists AI Hub, Visitor Hub and a branded member app with push notifications as add-ons from Start, with SSO, a test environment and Open API added on Grow, and Salto ProAccess included only on Scale. No prices are shown for these, and we found no free trial, only meetings and an interactive demo.

Coworks

Not stated by the vendor · Published

Coworks prices flat plans by tier, not by member count, though each tier caps membership: 150 on Hybrid Workspace and 250 on Coworking Premium, with unlimited only on a custom Enterprise plan. Automated billing and day passes begin on the higher plan. The terms date from 2021 and contain no export clause, so ask about data copies before signing.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you want a flat monthly figure for a mid-sized space.

Proximity

Not stated by the vendor · Published

Proximity Space, Inc. publishes six member bands per location, from up to 40 members to over 350, and states that contracts are not required, so a first-year budget is simple. Locks, the branded app and US card payments cost extra. Service is named for the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand only.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you operate in North America or Australasia and want fixed bands.

Spacebring

Poland · Published

Spacebring lists a Business rate for 100 active users at one site with a six-month minimum, while extra users, sites, the member app, visitor handling, floor plans and API access are billed separately. The terms send disputes to a Polish court under Polish law. No address, owner or hosting location appears. Expect the bill to grow module by module.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you want to add modules one at a time and link SALTO KS.

Nexudus

Not stated by the vendor · On request

Nexudus has a single plan, Coworking professional, billed monthly per location on active users, meaning members who pay, sit on a paid team, or were invoiced or booked in the last 30 days. Above 500 active users the page points to sales. Only the Passport app is included, and white-label branding costs extra. A 21-day trial is offered.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you want a 21-day self-service trial and Salto or Brivo door access.

Optix

Not stated by the vendor · Published

ShareDesk Global, Inc. provides Optix with tiers for 50, 100 and 250 active users and unlimited on Scale, each capping automation actions and locations. Annual billing is 14% cheaper. The white-label app and Automations+ cost extra, and trial access follows a scheduled demo. Door access on its homepage is limited to Kisi and Salto.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you rely on automations and use Kisi or Salto locks.

Our coworking space software guide puts Optix at 7 of 12; read why →

Skedda

United States · Published

Skedda charges per space per year, so the count of desks and rooms sets the bill and the member list does not. EMEA and APAC get a cheaper three-step ladder than the United States and Canada. Lower plans limit the rules and roles engine, and AllBooked goes through sales. Coworking invoicing never appears by name on the pages we read.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you mainly need desk and room booking with floor plans.

Skedda, #8 of 12 in our coworking space software ranking →

Archie

Canada · Published

Archie is Canadian and organised around three product lines, Desks, Rooms and Visitors, with Starter for one location, Pro for several and Enterprise on request. Pro brings Teams, Outlook, Slack, SSO and SCIM. Membership billing is not named, so an operator would invoice elsewhere, and the test environment opens after a demo.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you run a corporate workplace and need SSO and SCIM.

Why Archie is #9 among 12 coworking space software products →

Bookinglayer

Netherlands · On request

Bookinglayer is a trading name of TimTim BV in Winschoten, in the Netherlands, aimed at retreat centres, surf camps and glamping sites. It combines a booking engine, guest portal, payments and backoffice, with a channel manager. Bookings carry no commission, though gateway fees apply, and examples show 260 EUR for one location and 15 beds.

Switch from OfficeRnD if your space is accommodation-led, such as a retreat.

Bookinglayer, #10 of 12 in our coworking space software ranking →

Upflex

Not stated by the vendor · See profile

Upflex describes an operating system for corporate real estate and workplace teams, covering desk and room booking, visitor management, hybrid scheduling and analytics. It claims on-demand access to about 15,000 locations. Flex operators appear only as a separate partner audience, and the homepage names no membership billing, price, trial period or country.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you serve corporate clients and want hybrid scheduling.

Our coworking space software guide puts Upflex at 12 of 12; read why →

Yardi Kube

Not stated by the vendor · See profile

Yardi Kube describes one login for members, bookings, payments, Wi-Fi and accounting, and claims over 1,500 flex locations. Wi-Fi and device control and bandwidth tracking are rarely named by rivals. The pricing link returned a 404, so a demo is the only route, and the site gives no legal entity or country.

Switch from OfficeRnD if you want Wi-Fi control and accounting under one login.

Which alternative for which situation

  1. 01

    You want billing only for paying members

    Cobot: Upstream Agile GmbH in Berlin runs it, with one core plan and all features at every size.

  2. 02

    You want to trial it yourself before a demo

    Nexudus: A 21-day trial is listed, and billing is per location on active users.

  3. 03

    You need a flat monthly plan for a mid-sized space

    Coworks: Plans are flat with caps of 150 or 250 members, and Enterprise is unlimited.

  4. 04

    You run a retreat or glamping site rather than a desk space

    Bookinglayer: TimTim BV in the Netherlands sells a booking engine with no booking commission, though gateway fees apply.

  5. 05

    You run a corporate workplace and need SSO and SCIM

    Archie: Pro brings Teams, Outlook, Slack, SSO and SCIM, with desks, rooms and visitors as the product lines.

04

When OfficeRnD is still the right choice

OfficeRnD stays the right choice when you want a Flex platform with separate hubs for operations, experience, growth, data and visitors, plus a Hybrid line for desks, parking and helpdesk if you later serve corporate tenants. The mission since 2015 is flexible working, support runs 24/5, and the Scale plan includes Salto ProAccess, SSO and Open API, which suits larger multi-site operators.

05

What moving off OfficeRnD involves

  1. 01

    Rebuild plans, resources and prices

    Export your member list, active contracts, plan prices and resource inventory, then recreate them in the new system. Per-resource billing in OfficeRnD means your desk and room counts are already a clean checklist.

  2. 02

    Move door access and payments with care

    Check that your locks and card payments integrate with the new vendor before cutting over. Notify members before any change to how invoices or payment methods work, and keep the old system open for one billing cycle.

  3. 03

    Carry over visitors, bookings and the app

    Future room bookings and visitor records should be moved or re-entered. If members use a branded app, plan a short window with both apps live so nobody loses their booking history.

06

Questions about replacing OfficeRnD

6 answers
How much does OfficeRnD Flex cost?

The Flex page lists Essentials at 111 euros a month (85 annually), Start from 169 (155), Grow from 275 (249), and Scale as custom. Resources and meeting rooms are billed per item on top.

How many members does each tier allow?

Essentials allows up to 50 members at one location, Start 100 members at one location, and Grow 200 members across two locations. Scale lists no cap on the page we read.

Does OfficeRnD offer a free trial?

The pricing page we read mentions a Book a Meeting option on each plan and an interactive demo on Essentials, but no free trial.

Which alternatives bill only for paying members?

Cobot counts only paying members, so drop-in users, visitors and guests cost nothing. Nexudus counts active users, a wider group that includes people booked or invoiced in the last 30 days.

Which alternatives name a European base?

Cobot is run by Upstream Agile GmbH in Berlin, Bookinglayer is a trading name of TimTim BV in the Netherlands, and Spacebring's terms name Polish law without giving an address.

Which alternative is closest to a corporate workplace tool?

Archie and Upflex both centre on desks, rooms and visitors for workplaces. Skedda focuses on booking by space. None of them names coworking membership billing on the pages we read.
