desk.ly vs Workplacify

desk.ly is a workplace management platform for booking desks, meeting rooms, and parking spaces in hybrid workplaces. Its booking analytics show office occupancy and space use, helping organisations identify opportunities to adjust how their offices are used. Visitors can also have workstations, meeting rooms, or parking spaces booked for their visits. The desk.ly Connect add-on tracks actual workplace usage, automates check-in, and provides utilisation insights without costly hardware investments.

The service is available through a browser and requires an internet connection, but no special software, hardware, or servers. Native iOS and Android apps support bookings from a phone. The site advertises more than 250 integrations, including Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Google Calendar; Enterprise Plus adds HRIS integrations, calendar synchronisation, and a RESTful API. Plans include a free option for up to 15 users, Corporate at €1.65/user/mo, and Enterprise at €2.75/user/mo. Enterprise Plus has custom pricing.

Workplacify is an open-source desk scheduling platform for hybrid workplaces. Employees can reserve desks, while organizations arrange multiple offices, floors and desk maps. Managers can set how far ahead bookings may be made, limit bookings to selected days and allow past bookings. Those booking rules currently apply across an entire office rather than to individual departments or zones. The Community Edition can be downloaded, changed and self-hosted; it includes core booking, user management and basic analytics for unlimited users and desks. Community support is through forums and GitHub. A three-month free trial is available without a credit card. The company lists a Large companies plan at $5 a month, billed per 10 users, and Starter at $10 a month, also billed per 10 users. Enterprise pricing is tailored and not stated; that plan lists SSO and self-hosting support. Workplacify is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
