Spacebring is an easy-to-use and high-quality alternative to Archie

Archie is a hybrid office management software with a limited portfolio of six published apps that aims to cater to traditional office needs. That results in a feature burden for coworking spaces, where simplicity and efficiency are essential.

Spacebring is a seasoned comprehensive software suite for coworking and shared spaces with 50+ apps published and 100K+ people actively using them. It prioritizes user-friendliness and ease of use while providing a robust set of features for an extraordinary user experience.

Why choose Spacebring for your coworking space:

1. Mobile apps for members, nonmembers and admins.
2. Built primarily for coworking spaces.
3. Easy for everyone to use.
4. Get help anywhere you are.
5. Extensive language support.

 

Spacebring enables mobile experience for you and your customers

The mobile apps developed by Archie are restricted to members only and have the Archie logo. Nonmembers can't use them, which means you miss out on sales opportunities.

Archie: restricted mobile apps and missed opportunities. Spacebring: seamless experience for members and nonmembers.

Spacebring's mobile apps are custom-branded to reflect your coworking space's unique identity. They cater to all your customers, including nonmembers, who can easily sign up, book, shop, and enjoy a seamless and convenient experience that encourages self-reliance.

The comparison is not just for members. Archie has no mobile app for administrators. Your team is forced to use a laptop for all management tasks.

Spacebring is the only solution that allows you to run your entire business from your phone.

You can't get more user-friendly than Spacebring for both administrators and members. We love that as an administrator you can run everything from your app on your phone, you don't have to have your laptop making it super easy to run the business on the go, respond or do administrative tasks anytime anywhere.

Spacebring is designed primarily for coworking spaces

Archie's preference for traditional offices is evident from the logos of their customers, such as Adobe, Danone, and Pampers, displayed on their website. The features old-school offices need are irrelevant to coworking spaces, creating a more confusing coworking customer experience. Traditional offices prioritize space utilization over monetization and don’t need invoicing or community features. They typically do not sell memberships, credit packages, or event tickets and use Slack or Teams for communication.

Archie: one app for two totally different use cases. Spacebring: designed just for you.

Spacebring has been purpose-built to cater specifically to the needs of coworking and shared spaces. This focus ensures that every feature offered by Spacebring is potentially useful to you. For instance, Spacebring's auto-invoice and auto-pay features enable you to receive payment for invoices in under 8 seconds. The platform also enables coworking spaces to sell event tickets and credits, while its integrated chat and newsfeed features facilitate community development.

 

Spacebring connects your entire tech stack

A coworking platform must be the "central hub" for your business. Archie's integrations are limited to basic office tools like Slack, Spacebring's are deeper and built for running a flexible space.

Deeper, Smarter Integrations:

• Payments (Stripe): Our Stripe integration is more advanced. Spacebring supports two-way refund sync and automatic payment configuration. Archie's is a simple one-way sync with manual setup.
• Sales & scheduling: Spacebring connects to Calendly for seamless tour booking and Salesforce and Pipedrive to feed your sales pipeline. Archie supports none of these.
• Marketing & analytics: We integrate with Meta Pixel for ad tracking, which Archie lacks.
• Access control: Spacebring supports a wider range of access control partners, including Luckey, which is not listed by competitors.
• Communication: While Archie relies on third-party Slack or Teams, Spacebring offers an integrated community chat plus a Twilio integration for SMS notifications.

 

Spacebring is easier to use

Archie's hybrid-office focus creates a confusing, inflexible experience. It lacks integrations with professional CRM platforms like Salesforce or Pipedrive (both of which Spacebring supports), forcing you to use their limited, built-in tools. This 'one-size-fits-all' approach is missing key connections, which hinders productivity.

Spacebring's design is different. It is intuitive and effortless out of the box, while also offering powerful, optional integrations (like Calendly, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and viaSocket) that let you scale your operations when you're ready. This combination of simplicity and power is why over 95% of members can book rooms independently without requiring any assistance from administrators. This speaks to the platform's exceptional user-friendliness and highlights how it streamlines operations in coworking spaces.

Spacebring solution is so intuitive that most people just get into it immediately. Self-service members’ apps didn't create any extra need for support. After a week we noticed that we had fewer support errands.

Spacebring offers exceptional support

Archie claims to offer customer support through email, but there’s no public help center, documentation, or video guides. One major drawback is that support is only available during Canadian hours. This limitation means that customers outside of Canada may struggle to receive timely assistance outside their support hours.

The lack of resources leaves customers in the dark about how to effectively use the product and troubleshoot problems on their own. Archie fails to offer any way for clients to understand the onboarding process, leading to potential frustration and confusion.

This lack of transparency and support ultimately undermines the overall customer experience, making it difficult for users to fully grasp how to maximize the benefits of the product.

Spacebring's support is unparalleled in the industry. We cover the entire world and provide video meeting, phone call, email, or chat support with lightning-fast response time, a robust help center, and an app implementation guide to help users get started quickly and efficiently. These support services are available without having to purchase a separate support package, demonstrating Spacebring's commitment to providing exceptional service to its users.

My overall experience, from initial onboarding and setup, daily use and support has been exceptional. The customer support they provide is unlike anything I have ever experienced and I cannot rate them highly enough in this regard.

And we give you better tools to support your members

Our commitment to a superior experience doesn't stop with our direct support for your team. Spacebring also provides powerful, built-in tools that empower you to support your own members—features our competitor analysis confirms Archie lacks.

• Advanced help guides: You can build a comprehensive help center for your members. Spacebring allows you to attach any file type (like PDFs, videos, or policy documents) to your guides. Our research confirms Archie has no comparable feature.
• Integrated support tickets: Spacebring includes a full ticketing system so you can manage member issues professionally. Your members can submit requests, set a 'Severity' level, and even cancel their own tickets, reducing your team's administrative work. Archie's platform has no support ticketing system at all.

This means that with Spacebring, your members get faster help, and your team spends less time managing basic inquiries.

 

Global-ready: Superior language and payment support

When it comes to language support, Spacebring provides significantly more choices for international coworking spaces. Here's a breakdown:

This global focus extends directly to monetization. To serve your members in over 50 countries, you need to accept local payments. The competitor research file shows Archie's payment options are limited, while Spacebring is built for international business.

Spacebring integrates with a huge range of regional payment gateways that competitors lack, including:

• Mercado Pago (Latin America)
• KakaoPay (South Korea)
• Fondy & WayForPay (Europe)
• Paystack (Africa)
• ...and many others.

Archie's platform cannot support this level of global commerce, limiting your space's potential market.
