Coworking software compared, including the bits that cost you later
Four platforms, four ways of charging, and one question worth answering first: does your software bill go up when you sell a membership? Figures below come from each vendor's own pricing page, checked 1 October 2026.
How each one charges
| Platform | How the bill is calculated | Published prices |
|---|---|---|
| Floorplate360 | Per location, flat. No per-member fee at any tier. | $149 and $349 per location per month; custom for three or more |
| OfficeRnD Flex | Per active member and per location. An active member is anyone on a monthly product or service, or who booked a room that month. | Start from £145 per month (£130 billed annually), including 100 members and one location. |
| Nexudus | Per location per month, scaled by active users. An active user is someone paying for a plan, on a team paid by someone else, or who has been invoiced or booked in the last 30 days. | Nexudus does not publish its plan prices. |
| Cobot | Per paying member. Drop-ins, day-pass holders, visitors, free members and admins are not counted. | Cobot does not list tier prices; the page is a calculator you enter your member count into. |
| Optix | Per location per month, with an included allowance of active users; extra users and extra locations are charged on top. | Essentials $229, Pro $349, Grow $579 per month, including 50, 100 and 250 active users respectively; Scale is custom. |
These are good products and this page is not an argument that they are not. Each comparison below says plainly what the other platform is better at, because for some operators that is the right answer.
The comparisons
The most established platform in the category, with the deepest feature set and a large customer base. If you want the longest list of capabilities and have the headcount to pay for it, OfficeRnD is the benchmark.

Read the comparison →The most straightforward platform of the four, and a good fit for a single independent space that wants to be running this week. Clean product, clear ideas, no enterprise baggage.
Read the comparison →The strongest mobile experience in the category and the most design-led product of the four. If the member app is the thing your space is judged on, Optix sets the bar.

What is the main difference between these platforms?
How the bill is calculated. OfficeRnD charges per active member and per location, Cobot per paying member, Optix per location with an allowance of active users beyond which extra users cost more, and Nexudus per location scaled by active users. Floorplate360 charges per location, flat, with no per-member fee at any tier.
Which coworking software is cheapest?
It depends entirely on headcount. A platform priced per member is cheaper for a space with twenty members and more expensive for one with four hundred. Work out your cost at the size you intend to be in two years, not the size you are today, because that is the number you are actually choosing.
Which coworking platform handles percentage rent and landlord reporting?
Floorplate360 generates monthly percentage-rent statements from the lease formula and gives the building owner a read-only portal to see the figures behind them. None of OfficeRnD, Nexudus, Cobot or Optix lists owner reporting in their published plans, which is why most operators on a revenue-share lease build it in a spreadsheet.
Which platform is best for a coworking franchise?
Floorplate360 treats a franchise as a first-class structure: a group above independently owned operators, plan templates pushed to each location with a diff before they apply, consolidated reporting, licence billing, and one membership usable across locations. The others handle several locations under one owner well, but not a franchisor and franchisees as separate tenants.
How hard is it to migrate between coworking platforms?
About a week in practice. Export members, companies, plans, open invoices and bookings as CSV from your current platform, import them, and run both systems in parallel through the final month so the first invoice run can be checked before it sends. Migration is included with Floorplate360 rather than a professional-services line item.
