Skedda vs Archie
Skedda and Archie both sell desk and room booking rather than membership billing, and neither names coworking invoicing in the pages we read. Skedda bills yearly per space, with one price ladder for the United States and Canada and a cheaper one for EMEA and APAC, and it sells AllBooked through sales. Archie lists Starter at $159 and Pro at $249 a month by location and gives access to its test environment only after a demo. Skedda offers a free 14-day Premium trial without a payment method. Your count of spaces or locations decides the bill.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors 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.
Choose Skedda ifyou count desks and rooms rather than members, want a trial you can start without a sales call, and need floor plans, utilisation analytics and calendar sync. You may also sit in EMEA or APAC, where Skedda's cheaper ladder applies.
Choose Archie ifyou run one or a few offices, want published starting prices per location, and need Teams, Outlook, Slack, SSO or SCIM. You accept a demo before any hands-on testing and a hosting choice that only opens up on Enterprise.

Where they differ
Skedda 4 · Archie 2 · open 0- 01
Two ladders against two locations
Skedda bills per space per year. US and Canada start with Plus at $249 a month for 35 spaces, then Premier at $349 for 45. EMEA and APAC start with Starter at $99 for 15 spaces, then Plus at $149 and Premier at $199, in dollars with no currency code stated. Archie lists Starter at $159 a month for one location and Pro at $249 for several. Skedda's regional ladder is cheaper to enter, which wins on price.

Trying it before talking to anyone
Skedda's pricing page mentions a free 14-day Premium trial that needs no payment method. Archie names no free plan and opens a 14-day test environment only after a demo, with no commitment. For a coworking owner who wants to click through bookings on a quiet afternoon, Skedda lets you start alone, whereas Archie places a sales conversation first. Neither lists a permanent free tier, so the trial is the main way to test either. A small operator with few spaces gains most from that.

Single-office modules or space-count plans
Archie is split into three named product lines: Desks for flexible and hybrid work, Rooms for meeting rooms, and Visitors with custom registration flows. Its Starter plan lists floor plans, QR check-in, seat assignment and occupancy analytics. Skedda's homepage adds visitor management with QR self-check-in and utilisation analytics by space and time. Skedda's plan tiers follow the number of spaces. Archie's modules are clearer for an office that wants visitors and rooms separate. Archie's pages do not state how many desks a plan covers.

Where the rules engine is capped
Skedda limits the rules and roles engine on its lower plans. Plus in the US and Canada is described as limited, while Premier has the full engine and unlimited custom fields, and Starter in EMEA and APAC has basic rules. Archie reserves SSO, SCIM, custom groups and roles for Pro. Both gate access control behind the middle tier, so heavy rule users on either pay more. Skedda describes its limits in more detail, so it takes the round.

Calendars, chat tools and SSO
Skedda lists two-way calendar sync with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, native Microsoft Teams and Slack apps, automatic Zoom links and an API. Archie lists Teams and Outlook booking, a Slack integration and brand customisation on Pro, and shows booking rooms from Teams. Skedda names more integrations on its homepage, including Google Workspace, which Archie's pages do not show. A team on Google therefore has the clearer answer in Skedda, and a team on Microsoft finds Teams and Outlook covered by both tools.

Compliance badges and data location
Both sites show GDPR and SOC 2 badges, and Archie's homepage names SOC 2 Type II. Skedda links a data processing addendum, and Archie links its terms, privacy policy, SLA and a DPA. Skedda does not name a hosting location. Archie says custom cloud hosting location and data residency come with Enterprise, which suits a buyer with a residency requirement. Neither page we read states an owner or country, so we cannot place either company. Ask both vendors for the hosting location in writing.

When neither fits
If you need membership billing, access control and invoicing for a coworking operation, neither shows it by name in the pages we read. Look at Spacebring or Optix, which are listed in our coworking category.

How does Archie decide what a customer pays?
Plans are Starter for one location, Pro for multiple locations and Enterprise on request. The plan cards do not state desk or seat counts. The site says billing is per desk or room, so ask for the count in your quote.
Is the Skedda EMEA price in euros?
The page shows a dollar sign and states no currency code for EMEA and APAC. Starter starts at $99 a month for 15 spaces. Confirm the currency in writing before you sign.
