2026 comparison
The best coworking software in 2026, compared.
For most coworking and coliving operators, from a first space to a network of locations, Co-Desk is the best fit: one modern platform for coworking and coliving, every feature included, unlimited members and locations, and no monthly fee. It earns 2.5% per Stripe transaction, only when you take a payment. The other platforms on this list charge a monthly plan, and many add fees per member, per location or per desk.
We make Co-Desk, so we say so up front. Every price below comes from each platform's own public pricing page and links to a full comparison, so you can check every number.

How to choose
- 1
Do you run coliving too?
Most tools here are built for coworking only. If you rent rooms, check for room stays, rent and housekeeping before anything else.
- 2
Count your members.
Many plans are priced by active users or paying members, so the bill grows as your space grows. Check what happens at twice your size.
- 3
Look past the base price.
A branded app, visitor management, API access and extra locations are often add-ons. Add them up for your real setup.
- 4
Check the minimum term.
Some plans need 6 or 12 months up front, or are only cheaper if you pay for a year.
- 5
Try it yourself.
If you cannot try the software without a demo call, ask how long onboarding takes and what it costs.
