Spacepad vs. Robin
Robin is a workplace platform with room displays as one part of it. Spacepad does room displays only, with a published price and no sales call.
Robin covers desks, maps, visitors and analytics, and is designed for companies with 500 employees or more, billed annually on a quote. If you mainly need a clear status screen next to every meeting room, Spacepad does that for a fixed price per display, month to month.
Choose Spacepad if
- You need room displays, not a full workplace platform.
- You want a published price and to start today without a sales process.
- You want monthly billing without an annual contract.
- You need CalDAV, open source code or a self-hosted edition.
Robin may suit you better if
- You need desk booking, office maps and workplace analytics in one platform.
- You are a large organization with a procurement process that expects an annual contract.
