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 that rent spaces to paying members with graduated monthly rates. Same platform, billing optional.

The short version

Two great platforms — solving quite different problems.

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 with graduated monthly rates for external rentals. Same platform either way. Priced per workspace, not per user.

Where each one shines

Honest answers to "which one do I actually need?"

What Robin does exceptionally well

  • 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 500+ employees running a hybrid office, Robin is one of the strongest options on the market.

What Bookley does exceptionally well

  • Graduated monthly rates that 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. Not a feature you find on corporate workplace platforms.
  • 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.

Best fit for you if…

Pick the one that sounds most like your workspace.

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 is one of the strongest options in that segment.

Pick Bookley if…

You need a solid booking calendar for shared rooms and want billing to be optional, not required. That could be a small-to-mid-sized internal office running lightweight room booking without payments, or a business that rents time to paying members with graduated monthly rates. Same platform, same one price — turn billing on when you need it.
