Bookley vs Robin

Robin and Bookley aren't quite the same kind of product. Here's an honest breakdown so you can pick the one that actually fits — or realise you need a different tool entirely.

Read this first. Robin is a workplace platform built for enterprise-scale corporate offices — customers include Kayak, Harvard, Shopify, Sanofi and UNICEF. If you're a 500+ person business that needs SOC 2 compliance, deep space-planning analytics and native Microsoft 365 integration, Robin is where you land. Bookley works for both smaller-to-mid-sized internal offices (room booking without billing) and businesses renting spaces to paying members — flat rates, tiered rates, bundles, whatever your rate card looks like. Same platform, billing optional.

The short version

Two good products chasing different jobs.

Robin

An enterprise workplace platform for internal corporate offices. Deep Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace integration, sophisticated space planning and utilisation analytics, visitor management, wayfinding. Priced per employee.

Bookley

A flexible booking platform that works with or without billing. Run it as a lightweight internal room booking system for your team, or turn on member billing (flat, tiered, or bundled — your call) for external rentals. Same platform either way. Priced per workspace, not per user.

What each one is good at

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

What Robin is good at

  • Corporate workplace management. Space planning, floor-plan editing, real-time utilisation data, meeting-management tooling — everything a large facilities team needs to run an internal office at scale.
  • Deep Microsoft + Google integration. Native two-way sync with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace calendars, plus Slack and Teams integration for booking from inside those apps.
  • Enterprise-grade compliance. SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC certified, GDPR compliant. Standard requirements for the Fortune 500 customers Robin serves.
  • Visitor management and wayfinding. Guest check-in, badges, host notifications, package tracking, and interactive office wayfinding for large multi-floor sites.
  • Enterprise-scale customers. Kayak, Harvard, Shopify, Sanofi, UNICEF, Autodesk. If you're running a hybrid office at that scale, Robin is what those companies reach for.

What Bookley is good at

  • Billing when you want it, simple or complex. Flat per-hour rates? Easy. Something layered — usage-based charges, member discounts, bundles? Bookley calculates it across the month, in the same one plan. Not something corporate workplace platforms are built to do.
  • Invoicing when you want it, off when you don't. Skip it entirely for an internal office. Or turn it on and Bookley generates invoices from actual booking usage, member tiers, discounts and bundles. Members pay via Stripe or receive an invoice — Robin doesn't offer this at all because its model assumes employees never get billed.
  • Public booking pages for guests. Non-members can find your workspace, book a slot, and pay — no login needed. Robin's public-booking story is thinner because internal offices rarely need it.
  • All features included for one price. One plan, one price — every feature is in it. No per-user pricing, no feature-gating.
  • 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 Robin if…

You're an enterprise-scale organisation (roughly 500+ employees) that needs sophisticated space-planning analytics, deep native Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration, and compliance certifications like SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC. Robin's built for exactly that.

Pick Bookley if…

You want a solid booking calendar for shared rooms, with billing as an option not a requirement. Whether you're an internal office running room booking without payments, or a business renting to paying members (flat rates, tiered rates, bundles — Bookley handles all of it), it's the same one plan, same one price.
