Officely

Overview

Officely is a workplace booking tool for teams coordinating desks, rooms and parking through Slack or Microsoft Teams. It is a strong fit for hybrid offices that want booking and attendance visibility alongside day-to-day scheduling. The breadth is useful, though the small free allowance and Teams feature caveat matter when choosing a plan.

Key features

One-click desk booking, daily check-ins and booking visibility give employees a straightforward way to reserve a place and confirm attendance. A 42-day booking horizon supports advance planning, but the lack of a floor plan view is a meaningful drawback for offices where people need to choose desks by location.

Office analytics compares bookings with attendance and identifies underused spaces, giving office managers and senior leaders useful signals for planning capacity. Hybrid scheduling adds daily updates and recommendations to help teams coordinate office days. Meeting Rooms by Officely provides live availability and booking through Slack and Teams; desk, room and parking functions make the product broader than a desk-only booking tool.

Integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Google Calendar and HR systems such as HiBob, Deel, BambooHR and Personio. Enterprise controls include scoped credentials, an audit trail, retention controls and data exports. Officely identifies Hotelflex Limited, trading as Officely, as its data controller and says it does not collect special categories of personal data. A Help Centre offers setup and employee guides for Slack and Teams.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing for up to 5 users and includes all features. That is a useful way for a very small team to try the full set, but the cap makes it unsuitable as a lasting option for a larger office.

Basic is $2.50 a month, billed per user/per month, with unlimited users and simple desk booking. It is the entry point for teams that need desk reservations without the broader feature set. Premium costs $3.50 a month, billed per user/per month, and includes everything Officely offers, making the modest step up more compelling for teams that need its full toolkit.

Meeting Rooms costs $12 a month, billed per space/per month, with unlimited users and unlimited spaces. Parkly costs $15 a month on the same per-space basis and also includes unlimited users and spaces. These plans suit room- or parking-focused deployments, though per-space billing means the cost is not tied to headcount. Enterprise has custom pricing, unlimited users, all features and enterprise extras. The Meeting Rooms plan includes a 7 Day Free Trial. Features marked with an asterisk are not currently available on Microsoft Teams, so Teams users should check whether any needed feature carries that mark before selecting a plan.

Platforms

Officely is available on Android, iOS and the web, with booking workflows delivered through Slack and Microsoft Teams. Its collaboration-tool focus is an advantage for teams already working in those platforms, but the asterisk caveat means Teams and Slack feature coverage may differ.

Who it's for

Officely is aimed at hybrid teams, particularly senior leadership, office managers, people and culture teams, and team leaders who need to coordinate attendance and shared spaces. It is less suitable for offices that rely on visual floor plans to assign desks or for teams that need an unqualified feature match between Slack and Teams.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Desk, room and parking coordination plus attendance reporting and hybrid scheduling cover several workplace needs in one tool.
• Pros: A free plan includes all features for up to 5 users, allowing a small team to evaluate the wider offering.
• Pros: Enterprise controls include audit trails, scoped credentials, retention controls and data exports.
• Cons: The free plan stops at 5 users, so growing teams need a paid plan.
• Cons: No floor plan view makes it harder to pick a desk based on its physical location.
• Cons: Some asterisk-marked features are unavailable on Microsoft Teams, requiring teams to verify feature fit before committing.

Alternatives

For desk booking, compare Desk Booking Software; for room-focused options, see Room Booking Software.

desk.ly is worth considering if a larger free allowance is the priority: its free plan supports up to 15 users for as long as you like and includes enterprise features. Roomzilla may suit a smaller room setup, with a free plan for up to 3 resources and a yearly Standard option priced at $10 a year at a monthly rate paid yearly.

DeskFlex is a paid alternative with a Growth plan at $50 a month on an annual subscription, covering up to 25 spaces and including desk booking, meeting room booking, visitor management and workplace analytics. DeskGrid is an open-source, self-hosted option with a 0.00 USD license cost.

Skedda is another paid option, with a Starter plan for EMEA and APAC at $99 a month billed annually and 15 spaces included. Kadence offers a WorkOps plan with desk and room booking, visitor management, workplace analytics, move management and interactive floor plans. Trezod, WorkInSync are also alternatives to consider.

Verdict

Choose Officely if your hybrid team already works in Slack or Teams and wants desk, room and parking coordination tied to attendance insight. Its range of workplace tools is the clearest reason to choose it; the lack of floor plans and feature differences on Teams are the reasons to look elsewhere if visual desk selection or consistent platform coverage is essential.
