MyDesk vs WARP

MyDesk is a paid cloud service for office operations, offered on Android, iOS, web, API, and extension platforms. Its modules handle desk booking, meeting rooms, visitor registration, parking, catering, and analytics. Employees can book or release desks through mobile, desktop, Teams, or Outlook. Meeting-room booking includes live floor plans, room overviews, and touch check-in. Visitor registration supports an Outlook Add-in, on-screen registration, customized design, and printed access cards. Catering bookings work through Outlook, Teams, and mobile, with a canteen-staff app available as an extra module. Integrations include Outlook, Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Azure Active Directory, Google Workspace, Q-Park, MobilePay, Dynamics 365, and others. MyDesk reads Microsoft calendar data in real time without storing copies on its servers. It runs in Microsoft Azure, with data processed and stored in the EU/EEA. Desk booking costs €2.80 a month per table, with a 50-seat minimum.

WARP is a free, open-source, self-hosted system for managing hybrid office space. It supports assigned desks, hot desks, parking stalls, and other reservable spaces. Users can book, change, or cancel reservations and see who else will be in the office. Administrators manage floor maps, zones, groups, users, and seat assignments, with permissions controlling visibility and booking. Subscribable iCal feeds provide bookings and reminders for Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other calendar apps. Reports can be exported to Excel, and automatic notifications cover upcoming bookings. WARP works on mobile and can be installed as a progressive web app; no native mobile app is specified. Authentication includes SAML 2.0, LDAP or Active Directory, Azure AD, and generic OIDC. Production deployment uses a container image with PostgreSQL and supports linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. The project uses an MIT license. Approval workflows are not planned.
