DeskFlex vs OfficeMaps

DeskFlex is a workplace management platform for hybrid offices, with desk reservations, meeting room booking, visitor workflows, and floor plans. Users can save favorite desks, create recurring bookings, invite coworkers, and add equipment when reserving a desk. Floor plans show layouts, nearby desks, available workspaces, and who is in the office. Check-ins can use QR codes, Wi-Fi, or geo-location, and unused reservations can be released automatically. The mobile experience supports reservations, check-in, coworker search, and booking notifications. Visitor features cover registration, approvals, office-access workflows, and activity tracking across locations. Microsoft 365 integration includes authentication, Outlook calendar synchronization, and Teams availability; Google Workspace sign-in and Okta SSO are also listed. Growth costs $50 a month billed annually for up to 25 spaces; Professional costs $75 a month billed annually for up to 50 spaces. Enterprise pricing is custom for 100 or more spaces. Pricing is based on managed workplace spaces, not employee count. DeskFlex has no free plan and offers a 30-day trial.

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.
