Alternatives to Optix
Mobile-first coworking and flexible workspace management
Optix ranks #7 of 7 in Coworking space management, with an Alt Score of 85. It is proprietary, sold by subscription from $229 USD/mo and available on iOS, Android and Web. 12 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Mobile-first platform for coworking and flexible workspaces: booking, billing, a branded member app, community engagement, and workspace analytics.
Coworking, flex-space, and other shared-workspace operators (including golf simulators, shared kitchens, micro-gyms, and medical coworking spaces) who want to automate day-to-day operations for a single location or a growing multi-location portfolio, from small independent spaces up to franchises and networks.
A centralized platform for desk and meeting-room booking, membership plans and passes with recurring billing, invoicing and payments, a member directory with messaging and a community feed, visitor management, occupancy analytics, and a mobile-first (optionally white-labeled) member app, plus an automations engine and developer API for custom workflows.
Operators run their space from a web-based admin dashboard, configuring bookable resources, membership Plans and Passes (with an Allowance system that grants check-ins, bookings, or products without a charge), billing rules, and automations. Members interact primarily through Optix's mobile app (iOS/Android, brandable as a white-labeled app) to book desks or rooms, pay invoices, check in, and connect with other members, while integrations like Kisi and Salto sync membership status with physical door access control.
