essensys Operate vs Loka

essensys Operate manages the sales, contracts and billing lifecycle for flex workspace and coworking operators. It brings together lead and opportunity tracking, tours, licences, invoicing, payments and reporting for businesses running one or more sites. Sales tools accept leads from brokers and listing sites and can automate tour follow-ups. Operators can create licences from templates, collect electronic signatures and counter-signatures, then trigger setup after signing. Billing includes invoices, credit notes, monthly bill runs, multiple currencies and entities, and charges imported from other systems. Members can use a white-label portal to book desks and rooms, purchase services, pay invoices and check usage. Reports cover occupancy, revenue forecasts, budgets, site comparisons, customer balances and renewals, with custom reports available. The AI Hub can prepare bill runs, build workflows from descriptions and answer product questions, with requests checked before they commit. Operate connects to accounting, payment, access and workspace systems through integrations, an API, webhooks and Zapier. It runs on Android, iOS and the web; pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.

Loka is a workspace management platform for coworking spaces, business centres, and office buildings. It combines leases and contracts, automated billing, tenant management, desk and room bookings, floor plans, and access control. Members can book desks or rooms from interactive floor plans, with recurring bookings, capacity rules, and schedules designed to avoid conflicts. A searchable CRM brings member profiles, plans, billing history, attendance, and notes together. Loka describes AI features that suggest member introductions, adjust prices to demand, and flag at-risk members for retention offers. The branded member app uses an operator’s logo and colors; iOS is available, while the business page says Android is coming shortly. Billing integrations include Stripe, PayPal, and more than 20 regional payment gateways. Developers can use REST endpoints, webhooks, and official JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust SDKs. Plans are priced per location by rentable-room count, without per-user fees or feature gates stated on the business page. Starter costs 599,000 UZS a month for up to 20 rentable rooms, and a 14-day trial is available. Loka is headquartered in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
