Hamlet vs Loka

Hamlet is a flexible-space management platform for operators, landlords and developers, bringing billing, bookings, member experience and reporting together. It supports coworking, serviced and flexible offices, shared kitchens, health spaces, coliving, co-warehousing, storage and parking. Members and guests can book rooms, desks and other resources against live availability; guests can book and pay without an account. Billing automation covers recurring charges, payment collection, receipts, retries for failed payments and overdue reminders, with Xero sync. Members can use the portal and iOS or Android app for bookings, invoices, check-in, community features, direct messages and push notifications. Reports cover utilisation, revenue and debtors by site and across portfolios, with scheduled email delivery and CSV export. Listed integrations include Xero, Stripe, Worldpay, Google Calendar, SendGrid, Slack, Jotform and Gravity Forms. Plans are priced by location and include unlimited members, subject to fair use for an unusually large single site. Hamlet Base costs A$350 a month for one location; Hamlet Plus costs A$595 a month for two locations, with additional sites at A$250/month. Prices exclude GST, and both plans are billed monthly with cancellation on 30 days’ notice. Enterprise is quoted. Every plan includes support, self-led setup and a free simple migration. Hamlet states 99.5% monthly availability; contractual SLAs are available on Enterprise plans. It says it does not currently hold SOC 2 attestation or ISO 27001 certification and does not operate a 24/7 SOC.

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.
