Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland
Business plan from €2.75 per active user per month billed annually (€3.50 billed monthly), from 25 users; Professional and Enterprise on request
Demo on request
Best for: Mid-size and large companies that want a listed per-user price and EU hosting
deskbird is the Swiss platform that gives a buyer a price and a hosting statement on the same public pages, which is why it leads this category.
The Business plan covers desk, room and parking booking, check-in with auto-release, smart booking recommendations, native mobile apps and a Microsoft Teams integration, at €2.75 per active user per month on annual billing, with a 25-user minimum. Professional adds advanced booking rules, analytics, a floor plan designer, API access and the Dock menu-bar app, and it is quoted case by case.
The legal entity is deskbird AG, registered in Pfäffikon SZ under CHE-193.964.133, so the contract is Swiss and outside the EU.
According to the vendor, all data is processed and hosted only in the EU on Google Cloud, with Frankfurt named in the privacy policy, bookings are anonymised after six months by default, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are held. SSO with SAML 2.0 and SCIM are listed on the security page. Founding year is not stated on the pages reviewed.

- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 stated
Where deskbird falls short
- 25-user minimum on the listed plan
- Advanced rules, analytics and API are not in the Business plan
- Per-user billing can cost more than per-resource billing

Stuttgart, Germany
Starter €1.99 per resource per month; Business €3.49 per resource per month; Enterprise on request. Unlimited users on every plan
Demo on request
Best for: Organisations with many employees sharing a smaller number of desks, rooms or parking spaces
Flexopus turns the usual pricing logic around: it charges for the desks, rooms and parking spaces you list and not for the people who book them.
Starter is €1.99 per resource per month and Business €3.49, with unlimited users on both, so a floor of 100 shared desks costs the same for 100 or 600 account holders. Starter includes desk, parking and room booking, a Teams app, mobile apps and a REST API, and Business adds check-in, QR codes, SSO with SAML2, SCIM, statistics and Exchange and Google Calendar sync.
Flexopus GmbH is registered in Stuttgart (HRB 781714) and describes its hosting as being in Germany.
The vendor sells sensors, ePaper desk displays, door signs and visitor kiosks as separate lines, and floor plan creation (€250 per 50 resources), a custom domain and an HRIS link are paid add-ons. Monthly payment adds a €10 setup fee and a €10 platform fee. According to the vendor an article on data sovereignty mentions ISO 27001, but no certificate detail is given. Founding year is not stated.
What Flexopus does well
- Unlimited users on every plan
- Resource prices published on the pricing page
- Hosted in Germany, stated by the vendor
- Desk, parking and room booking in one tool
- Sensors and ePaper displays from the same vendor
Where Flexopus falls short
- Check-in, SSO and SCIM need the Business plan
- Cost grows with every resource added
- Floor plans, custom domain and HRIS link are paid add-ons
- Monthly payment adds platform and setup fees
Standout feature. Flexopus is the only tool here whose published price is tied to bookable resources and leaves the user count unlimited on every plan.
Delft, Netherlands
Pricing on request; the pricing page invites a demo request
Demo on request
Best for: Companies with 250 or more employees per location and a need for analytics and space planning
Mapiq is the Dutch platform in this category that covers the most ground, with resource booking, workplace analytics, space planning, employee experience and operations as modules of one product. Booking handles desks, rooms and parking, shared and assigned desks, team reservations and automatic check-ins. The analytics module adds heatmaps, attendance by team and executive reports, with data streaming to your own analytics platform, and the space planning module adds a drag and drop map editor and scenario planning.
The terms are issued by Mapiq B.V., address Oostsingel 209 in Delft, with disputes before the court of The Hague or the Netherlands Commercial Court in Amsterdam. According to the vendor, data is hosted in Microsoft Azure facilities in Western Europe, with backups, an SLA per subscription and external penetration tests.

- More modules to configure than booking-only tools
- Hosted on a US cloud provider's region
Standout feature. Mapiq is the only tool here that puts scenario planning and space forecasting in the same system as desk booking and analytics.
London, United Kingdom

Demo on request
Best for: Public-sector and large organisations booking desks across many sites
Matrix Booking sells desk booking to organisations that count desks and not people. Its pricing page describes one annual subscription based on the number of resources, with no per-user fee, which includes the iOS and Android apps, upgrades, an online support portal, training and a dedicated account manager. The product covers hot desking with configurable rules, meeting rooms, visitor management, occupancy sensors, digital signage, QR and NFC check-in and Microsoft 365 and Outlook integration.
Matrix Booking Limited is a British company (company number 12634713) with a contact address in London, so the contract sits outside the EU.

The vendor cites more than 100,000 active users and 690,000 monthly desk bookings, its own figures, and its sector pages name central government, the NHS, local government and universities.

Best for: Large employers that also want facility, energy and sensor data under one vendor
Spacewell treats desk booking as one function of a building data platform, and that is its difference from the others in this category. The workplace product covers desk and room booking, visitor registration, service requests, interactive 2D and 3D floorplans with CAD integration, space simulations and IoT sensors for occupancy and air quality. Reservations are confirmed or cancelled by the user, and no-shows are registered and released automatically, with Outlook and Google Calendar sync.
The contracting company is Spacewell International NV, a Belgian naamloze vennootschap with its registered office at Sneeuwbeslaan 30 in Wilrijk (BE 0846.845.929), and the site identifies it as a Nemetschek company. According to the vendor, customers run 185,000 IoT devices and 90,000 motion sensors. Energy and facility management modules share the platform. The pages reviewed show no prices and no hosting region, and founding year is not stated.
What Spacewell does well
- Desk and room booking with sensor data
- Automatic no-show handling
- Floorplan and space simulation tools
- Belgian NV with a listed registered office
- Energy and facility modules on one platform
Where Spacewell falls short

Berlin, Germany
Not published; quote-based only
Demo on request
Best for: Companies that run on Microsoft 365 and Teams and accept a quote-based purchase from a German vendor
Yoffix is a Berlin hybrid-workplace platform whose public positioning rests on deep Microsoft 365 and Teams integration across desk sharing, rooms, parking and resources. The product is a suite from which the desk module is only one part, and the pages reviewed give less feature detail than those of deskbird, Flexopus or Mapiq. A buyer should expect to confirm check-in, rules and reporting in a demo and not from the website.
The company behind it is HybridOffice21 GmbH, a Berlin company with a commercial register entry (HRB). According to the vendor, hosting is in Germany and the company holds ISO 27001 and positions itself on GDPR, but these claims are stated at company level and not tied to individual modules. Pricing is not published and is quote-based only. Founding year is not stated, and Yoffix is the least documented tool in this category.
What Yoffix does well
- Deep Microsoft 365 and Teams integration
- German hosting and GDPR positioning
- Bundled with desks, rooms and parking
- HRB-registered German entity
Where Yoffix falls short
- No published pricing
- Thin visitor module
- Least documented tool in the category
- Compliance claims stated at company level only
Standout feature. Yoffix is the tool here that bases its whole pitch on Microsoft 365 and Teams integration, paired with German hosting.
Cluj-Napoca, Romania
$99/location/month for the visitor management module, published
Demo on request
Best for: Teams that want desks, rooms and visitor sign-in under one contract from an EU-registered vendor
Yarooms combines desk hoteling, room panels and visitor management in one platform, and so it argues for consolidation and not for depth in any single module. A company that wants one contract instead of three can buy desks, rooms and a reception log together. On the visitor side the pages describe pre-registration, QR self-check-in, badge printing and a digital visitor log with CSV export.
The operating company is Yarooms International SA, registered in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, which places it under Romanian and EU law, and the company also lists a sales office in Miami in the United States.
The visitor module is published at $99 per location per month, priced in US dollars despite the Romanian entity. No compliance certification is confirmed on the pages reviewed beyond the general effect of EU incorporation, and the published figure covers visitors, not the desk module. Founding year is not stated.
What Yarooms does well
- Desk, room and visitor modules from one vendor
- Published per-location pricing
- Digital visitor log with CSV export
- Registered Romanian entity
Where Yarooms falls short
- Priced in USD
- Narrower depth than a dedicated tool
- Higher entry price than Vizito
- No compliance certification confirmed
Standout feature. Yarooms is the tool here that prints a per-location dollar price for a module while quoting the rest of its suite.
Fribourg, Switzerland
Pricing on request; no price on the pages reviewed
Demo on request
Best for: Offices that want measured occupancy of desks and rooms from the same vendor as the booking tool
ROOMZ is a Swiss vendor that builds booking on top of its own wireless sensors. The shared desk page covers bookable desks reserved in advance from the myROOMZ app, hot desks with live occupancy, acoustic booths, meeting rooms and class rooms, with configurable desks, zones and tags and a Google Workspace integration. The space analytics module reads the sensor data, so reserved use and measured use sit in the same product.
ROOMZ SA is registered in Fribourg and its privacy policy says it adheres to both the EU GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.
According to the vendor, it holds ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, and its legal page publishes the general terms, an SLA, a data processing agreement, the technical and organisational measures and a sub-processor list. The pages reviewed show no price and no hosting region. Founding year is not stated, and the Swiss entity contracts outside the EU.
What ROOMZ does well
- Sensor-based occupancy alongside booking
- DPA, TOM and sub-processor list published
- ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 stated
- Desks, booths, meeting rooms and class rooms
- Swiss company with GDPR and FADP adherence
Where ROOMZ falls short
- No published price
- No hosting region stated on the pages reviewed
- Hardware-centred offer
- Swiss entity, outside the EU
Standout feature. ROOMZ is the only tool here that publishes the DPA, the TOM document and the sub-processor list on a public legal page.
Ljubljana, Slovenia (exact street address not disclosed)
Founded 2007
From €49/month base + €0.99/user/month + €9.99/device/month, published, usage-based
Demo on request
Best for: Offices that want ePaper room and desk displays and a published usage-based price from one Slovenian vendor
Joan is a Slovenian platform that began with display hardware and added booking software, which sets it apart from the booking-first tools above. Its ePaper displays show room and desk status at the door or the desk, and the platform handles desk booking and room scheduling behind them. For an office whose main problem is that nobody can see whether a room is free, Joan answers that directly, with less to configure than a suite like Mapiq.
Joan is built by Visionect d.o.o. in Ljubljana, founded in 2007, with the exact street address not disclosed on the pages checked.
The published model is usage-based: a €49 monthly base, plus €0.99 per user per month and €9.99 per device per month, and a buyer pays for the modules switched on. That makes the total harder to forecast at scale than a flat per-user or per-resource figure. No certification is claimed beyond EU incorporation, and the module list is built around a room-booking-first platform.
What Joan does well
- Unique e-paper badge hardware
- Pay-per-module usage pricing
- Calendar-based pre-registration
- Operating since 2007
Where Joan falls short
- No evacuation list found
- Module on a room-booking-first platform
- Per-user and per-device pricing is complex
- No certification claimed
Standout feature. Joan is the only tool in this category that grew out of the maker's own ePaper display hardware, which dates the company to 2007.

Best for: Coworking operators and flex-space landlords who also want desk booking for members
OfficeRnD Flex is the coworking half of a two-product company, and its desk booking is a module inside a platform for operators of flex space. The Desks module books desks and other resources from mobile devices and inside Slack with weekly scheduling, and the inventory offers visual maps for desks, rooms and parking, with Teams, Outlook and Google Workspace experiences. The product for internal hybrid offices is the separate OfficeRnD Workplace, which this page does not review.
OfficeRnD Limited is registered in North Shields, United Kingdom, with group entities in Sofia (OfficeRnD EOOD) and in Dover, Delaware (OfficeRnD Inc.). According to its privacy policy, Flex runs on AWS in Ireland, Singapore and Australia. The customer terms and pricing pages were not reachable during review, so which entity signs a customer contract is not verified, and no price is shown. Founding year is not stated.
What OfficeRnD Flex does well
- Desks module for hybrid work
- Booking inside Slack
- Teams, Outlook and Google integrations
- Visual maps for desks, rooms and parking
- Irish AWS region available
Where OfficeRnD Flex falls short
- Coworking-first product
- No prices on the pages reviewed
- Other hosting regions in Singapore and Australia
- Group includes a US entity
Standout feature. OfficeRnD Flex is the only tool here that pairs desk booking with coworking inventory and member management.
