deskbird vs OfficeMaps

deskbird combines desk booking, room management, workforce scheduling, and visitor management for hybrid workplaces. Employees can make a one-off desk booking in two clicks or use auto-booking, while administrators set booking rules by team, role, resource, or time without code. The platform can automate check-ins, set access priorities, and release vacant resources. Its floor plan enhancer turns an architect blueprint or sketch into an interactive floor plan. deskbird lists more than 200 integrations, including native Microsoft Teams and Slack support, Office 365 and Google calendar connections, and API options. HRIS connections can transfer leave periods and schedule updates. Mobile apps support desk, meeting-room, and parking bookings, check-ins, and colleague discovery; they require internet access, Android 6.0 or later, or iOS 16.6 or later. deskbird says customer data is processed and hosted exclusively in the EU, and lists ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 Type 2 auditing, and GDPR compliance. Booking and check-in transactional data is anonymized after six months by default, with custom windows available for Enterprise customers. Pricing is listed from $3.75/user/mo (annual); the Business plan is $4.75 a month per active user, billed monthly.

OfficeMaps combines a workplace directory with interactive floor plans so employees can locate people, desks, meeting rooms, and other resources. It shows real-time desk availability and supports temporary allocations, desk booking, meeting-room booking, and check-in. Profiles can contain configurable skills, roles, workdays, and duties, with searches by location, hierarchy, profile fields, or free text. A kiosk lets employees assign themselves to desks or rooms for a set period and permits guests without logins. Mobile apps support booking, check-in, and finding colleagues on maps. Listed integrations include Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Office 365, Exchange, Embrava Desk Sign, PointGrab, Google Auth, and Microsoft Auth; Okta is marked coming soon. Essentials costs $59 a month per 100 people, billed monthly, and includes cloud hosting, directory, and floor maps. Professional costs $96 a month per 100 people and adds activity-based working, kiosks, and reporting. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available. API access requires a subscription above Essentials and is limited to 1,000 calls monthly and/or 10 requests per second.
