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 are excellent. They're just tuned for slightly different workspaces.

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

Built for shared spaces whose pricing changes as members use them — graduated monthly rates, tiered charges that roll up across a billing cycle, and invoicing that calculates the whole thing at the end of the month. Best if your rate card isn't a fixed monthly plan.

Where each one shines

Honest answers to "why would I pick one over the other?"

What Cobot does exceptionally well

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 does exceptionally well

Graduated monthly rates that actually shift as members book more. The first 10 hours at one rate, the next 10 at another, everything after that at a third — all calculated across a monthly billing cycle. Fixed monthly plans are easy anywhere; tiered pricing that rolls up over a month is what Bookley was built for.
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. Built from scratch in 2026 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.

Best fit for you if…

Pick the one that sounds most like your workspace.

Pick Cobot if…

You run a traditional coworking space with fixed monthly membership plans, and you want the deepest coworking-specific product on the market — drop-in passes, event ticketing, member community features, and mature integrations with access control hardware.

Pick Bookley if…

Your pricing model is anything other than fixed monthly plans — graduated rates, monthly tiers that shift as members book more, member-tier discounts, or bundles. Bookley calculates it all at end-of-month billing. You also want every feature in one price, and a longer trial to test it properly.
