Spacepad vs. Envoy Rooms
Envoy Rooms puts room displays on iPads as part of the Envoy workplace platform. Spacepad does room displays on iPad and Android, with a free display and monthly billing.
Envoy is a workplace platform best known for visitor management, and Envoy Rooms is its room display, sold with Envoy Reservations per bookable resource plus a platform fee, billed annually. If you already run Envoy at the front desk, adding rooms is natural. If you just need room displays, Spacepad is simpler to buy and runs on Android too.
Choose Spacepad if
- You only need room displays, not visitor management or desk booking.
- You want to use Android tablets, or a mix of iPad and Android.
- You want monthly billing, a free display and no platform fee.
- You need CalDAV, open source code or a self-hosted edition.
Envoy Rooms may suit you better if
- You already use Envoy for visitors or desks and want everything in one platform.
- Your organization standardizes on iPads.
