Deska vs Eden Workplace

Deska is desk-booking software for hybrid offices. Employees reserve specific desks on an interactive office map and can set recurring weekly schedules. Administrators upload SVG floor plans and place desk markers with a drag-and-drop editor. Booking controls include windows, maximum consecutive days, release times, and per-office access rules. A Telegram bot lets employees check availability, book, or cancel without another Deska app or login. Admin dashboards show real-time and historical attendance, with CSV export for facilities planning, HR reporting, and lease decisions. Deska is available on the web and iOS; the iOS app can scan desk QR codes, processing camera images on the device without storing or uploading them. The product is aimed at hybrid or flexible-work organizations, typically with 20 to 500 employees, including technology companies, agencies, professional services firms, and coworking operators. The Simple plan is free forever at free for one office, two desks, and two users. Paid plans start at $99 a month, with larger limits and added controls. A free trial is advertised, but no duration is stated.

Eden Workplace brings desk booking, room scheduling, visitor management, deliveries, and internal ticketing into one workplace platform. Employees can reserve desks by the hour or day, ahead of time or on the day, through web, Slack, Teams, or the Eden app. Desk occupancy metrics help teams understand space use. Room scheduling includes floor-plan booking, recurring reservations, occupancy analytics, and tablet display panels; teams can require check-in and release rooms after a configured no-show window. Visitor Management Accelerate lists registration, kiosk branding, visitor logs, legal documents, badge printing, touchless sign-in, and Slack and Teams integration. The Deliveries plan supports scanning or manually recording deliveries, matching recipients, notifications, and delivery analytics. Eden lists 40+ integrations, including calendars, access control, directory services, and document storage. It runs on Android, iOS, and web. A 14-day desk-booking trial can be arranged after a brief demo. Eden says it is SOC 2 compliant and encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES256. Pricing varies by module and plan: Desk Booking Accelerate is $2.25 a month monthly or $3 a month annually, sold in sets of 25 desks.
