Bookley vs Cobot

Two well-built platforms for coworking and shared spaces. Here's a fair, honest side-by-side — so you can pick the right fit for your workspace.

The short version

Both good products, tuned for slightly different jobs.

Cobot

Made in Berlin, running for over a decade, powers coworking spaces in 90+ countries. A great choice if your pricing model is per-member with fixed monthly plans, and you want community features like drop-in passes, event ticketing and CRM built in.

Bookley

Room booking with billing built in. Fixed monthly plans work fine here. And when you need something more layered — usage-based rates, member discounts, drop-ins, bundles — the same one plan handles it. Invoices calculate automatically at end of month.

Things we both do fine

Table stakes. If any of these is on your must-have list, either of us will handle it.

What each one is good at

What each of us is actually good at, without the marketing fluff.

What Cobot is good at

  • Coworking-first product depth. Drop-in passes, event ticketing, white-label member portal, lightweight CRM, community-focused features — all built specifically for coworking operators.
  • Big integration ecosystem. 100+ free add-ons, open API, and mature integrations with major access-control providers (Kisi and others).
  • Members mobile app. Native iOS and Android app for members, included free with the Cobot subscription.
  • Multi-country experience. Runs in 90+ countries with multi-language support (German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Hungarian).
  • Migration help. A dedicated migration path from other tools with support included in every plan.

What Bookley is good at

  • Simple stays simple. Complex still fits. Fixed monthly plans work fine. And if you need something more layered — usage-based charges, drop-in credits, member-tier discounts, bundles — Bookley calculates all of it across the month, in the same one plan, no upgrade tier.
  • All features included for one price. One plan, one price — every feature is in it. No feature-gating between tiers, no per-feature upsells, nothing locked behind an "enterprise" upgrade.
  • Invoicing built into the same system. Bookley generates invoices from actual booking usage — no separate module, no accounting integration to configure.
  • Modern, lightweight feel. Bookley was developed for teams who want to spend less time setting things up and more time running their space.
  • 3 months free to start. Long enough to actually run a real week and decide.

Which one is you?

Read both and pick the one that sounds most like you.

Pick Bookley if…

You want coworking basics — memberships, drop-ins, monthly billing — plus the flexibility to layer in usage-based rates, tier discounts, or bundles when you need them. Every feature is in the one price. Trial gives you 3 months to actually test it.
