Spacebring is an easy-to-use and modern alternative to Cobot

Cobot is a website for coworking space admins to automate billing and booking. It’s complicated and doesn’t offer much for your customers.

Spacebring is an easy-to-use suite of branded apps for both your members and your team. It includes white-label web, Android, and iOS apps for your customers, plus a new native mobile app for admins.

This makes your customers more self-reliant and untethers your staff from the front desk, so you can manage your space and scale your business from anywhere.

Why Spacebring is a better choice:

1. Apps your members and admins will love
2. Features to power your space
3. Grow without the headaches
4. Easy for everyone to use

 

Spacebring gets you branded mobile apps

Cobot is a website. Although it’s got a flexible layout, Cobot doesn’t support push notifications and can’t be effectively used to engage customers.

Spacebring takes a modern approach with a full suite of apps:

• Mobile app for iPhones, iPads and macOS with M1/2 chips
• Mobile app for Androids and Chromebooks
• Progressive web app with push notifications

Spacebring apps are a generation ahead for a number of reasons:

• White-labeling with your own logo and colors
• Intuitive interface due to native code and design
• Accessibility features for people with visual impairments to build an inclusive community

Our members consistently praise the convenience of Spacebring. They frequently mention how easy it is to book spaces and stay connected within the platform. They view Spacebring as an extension of the exceptional experience we provide.

Search for “Cobot” on App Store yields no results. In contrast, Spacebring maintains over 50 apps on App Store and as many on Google Play.

 

Spacebring is more functional: Visitors, 1:1 Chats, Events

Cobot is barebones—it doesn’t have much to offer other than billing and booking.

Spacebring is a powerhouse. Cobot's feature list is superficial—for example, 'Events' feature is just a basic calendar, not a full management tool.

Spacebring goes deeper everywhere. It offers advanced financial tools Cobot lacks, like dynamic pricing to maximize room revenue and flexible credit notes to easily manage adjustments. On top of that, Spacebring offers a full suite of native tools empowering you to:

• Chat 1:1 with you and community members
• Register and check-in visitors
• Sell credits and enable spending all around the app
• Organize events and sell tickets
• Let people sign up for plans right through mobile apps
• Unlock doors from your own apps

"Upgrading to Spacebring from Cobot felt like switching from a bicycle to a racing car — it's fast, powerful, intuitive and fully automated. Spacebring team surprises us with development speed, attention to detail, and customer-centric mind."

— Ann Yoo, SPARKPLUS

Spacebring offers more value by packing room display, visitor management, external room booking, and hundreds of other features Cobot doesn’t have.

 

Spacebring truly connects your business

A modern space relies on a stack of tools, and a disconnected platform creates data silos. Cobot's integrations are limited, often relying only on Zapier.

While Cobot may be missing key connections for accounting (like QuickBooks) or modern access control (like Brivo or Salto KS), Spacebring is built to be the central hub for your entire operation, connecting all your tools seamlessly.

 

Spacebring is great for growth: Multi-location support in one app

If you grow to multiple locations, Cobot requires a separate website for each location. That’s confusing and not user-friendly.

Spacebring offers full multi-location and even multi-network support built into a single app:

• For members, it’s easy to discover and access all the resources available across your entire network.
• For admins, managing a large coworking space network is just as straightforward as running a small coworking hub.

Spacebring’ multi-location support is powerful: each location can have its own currency, time zone, access control, and payment integrations. For users, however, everything is the same simple all around.

A cross-location booking solution works very well. Thus, the real impact of the Spacebring platform on our business is far greater than the number of bookings alone would indicate. Spacebring was, and still is, a catalyst for CitySpace’s growth, and we are very happy with our choice.

Spacebring is easier to use, better designed, and offers better UX

Cobot’s admin dashboard and member portal are confusing and not well designed. Take it from Cobot’s own customer:

“The lack of customization on the client view or member page, booking interface, and inability to create 1 off charge "plans" without the cost defaulting to $0 recurring when viewed on the member login page.... It's confusing.”

— Cobot review on G2

This confusion for admins is a common theme. Cobot is a complex website dashboard that tethers you to a computer—and they have no native mobile app for admins.

Spacebring is built for modern, on-the-go management. With the new native mobile app for admins, you can manage bookings, check in visitors, respond to member chats, and oversee operations from your phone. You're no longer stuck behind the front desk, giving you the freedom to engage with your community.

Spacebring is easy-to-use and intuitive. For example, over 95% of users book meeting rooms by themselves without requiring any assistance, which is a testament to user-friendliness.

We failed to save time as operating Cobot was confusing, and we had to help members with routines that were supposed to be automated. Spacebring’ simple user interface and intuitive design really make a difference. The app is easy to use both for members and admin staff.
