Common questions
How does Co-Desk's pricing compare to OfficeRnD Flex?
OfficeRnD Flex uses a tiered model (START/GROW/SCALE) but does not publicly list pricing; you must request a demo for a quote. Add-ons like Branded Apps (native mobile + white-label), Visitor Hub, and AI Hub are paid separately on top of the base tier. Co-Desk charges no monthly fee, just 2.5% per Stripe transaction with every web-based feature included (our native mobile app ships Summer 2026; members use a mobile-responsive web portal in the meantime). For most independent operators, Co-Desk's total cost of ownership is lower.
Does OfficeRnD Flex support coliving?
No. OfficeRnD Flex Flex is built for coworking and hybrid office management. Lease management, rent collection workflows, and resident-specific features are not core to the product. Co-Desk supports both coworking and coliving natively in the same platform.
What is OfficeRnD Growth Hub?
Growth Hub is OfficeRnD Flex's e-commerce feature; it lets prospects buy plans and book resources directly from your website. It is now included in both the START and GROW tiers. Co-Desk includes equivalent public booking and checkout flows in the base platform at no extra cost.
Can I switch from OfficeRnD Flex to Co-Desk?
Yes. We can import members, plans, invoicing history, and Stripe-connected billing. Contact our sales team with a data export and we'll walk you through the migration. Most operators are live within 30 minutes of completing the import.
Is OfficeRnD Flex better for enterprise?
OfficeRnD Flex has deeper enterprise workplace features (hybrid office, desk booking for corporate tenants, HR integrations). If you're running a large corporate workplace program, OfficeRnD Flex may fit better. For independent coworking or coliving operators, Co-Desk is simpler, cheaper at most scales, and supports both verticals.
