Kadence vs PULT

Kadence handles desk and meeting-room booking, workplace coordination, and space-use reporting for hybrid workplaces. Employees can reserve desks for set times, including places near teammates, and use check-in for desks and bookings. Interactive floor plans display space and support team neighborhoods and assigned desks. Kadence says its AI can suggest bookings and reserve multiple desks for a user and teammates. Its workplace analytics cover desk availability, popular spaces, attendance patterns, and space usage. Integrations include Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, HRIS, and ticketing systems; a public API is also available. The product runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and includes single sign-on. Kadence offers a free plan, with pricing on request. Billing is based on active users—people who booked during a month. Plans require a minimum one-year commitment, billed annually, and floor-plan upload and setup costs $250 per floor. Kadence states that it is SOC 2 compliant and Cyber Essentials certified, and that it meets GDPR and CCPA requirements.
