FlexiDesk vs Robin
Robin is an enterprise-focused desk booking platform with a standalone web and mobile app. FlexiDesk takes a different approach — Slack-native, per-spot pricing, and support for desks, meeting rooms, car parks and lockers.

Why teams switch from Robin
No app to roll out
Robin requires a standalone web app and mobile app. FlexiDesk runs entirely inside Slack, so there is nothing new to install, learn, or maintain for your team.
All space types at one price
Robin prices per desk and has parking and lockers in early access. FlexiDesk includes desks, meeting rooms, car parks and lockers at the same $2 AUD/spot price — no add-ons or separate tiers.
Smart waitlists with auto-offer
When a space is full, your team can join a waitlist. If a spot opens, the next person gets a Slack DM with 30 minutes to confirm. Robin does not offer waitlist functionality.
Self-serve 30-day free trial
FlexiDesk offers a full 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Robin requires you to book a demo and request pricing before getting started.
