PULT

PULT is a workplace operations suite for organizations coordinating office attendance, desk and room use, and visitor reception. It is most compelling for offices that want those processes connected to existing network infrastructure and business tools. Its small-team entry point is useful, but broader visitor and AI capabilities can move buyers into location-based or custom-priced plans.

Overview

PULT brings presence detection, workplace bookings, and visitor processes together across its product family. Presence uses existing office Wi-Fi and LAN to detect attendance without additional hardware; Workplace covers desks, meeting rooms, parking, and analytics. That combination is valuable when facilities teams want attendance and space use considered together rather than managed in separate tools.

The products use different pricing units: Workplace paid plans are billed per user, while Visitor Management Business is billed per location. The free Workplace Starter plan stops at 20 users and one location, so it is a practical trial ground for a small office, not a long-term fit for a growing multi-site organization.

Key features

Presence and room use

Presence relies on existing Wi-Fi and LAN, avoiding dedicated presence hardware. Workplace adds desk, meeting-room, and parking bookings plus office analytics. Its AI Meeting Room Agent identifies inefficient room bookings and reallocates them; this is a useful operational layer for offices trying to make room availability match actual use. Automatic Presence AI check-in is reserved for the Business Workplace plan.

Visitors and integrations

Visitor Management supports digital registration, QR check-in, a native iPad kiosk, visitor badges, and digital document signing. Business adds configurable visitor flows and host alerts, while Enterprise adds blocklist scanning, guest Wi-Fi and access-control integrations, and multi-channel emergency notifications. PULT connects with more than 75 platforms across HR, communications, calendars, Wi-Fi, and device management, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, Outlook, Personio, Workday, Okta, Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, and Ubiquiti. That breadth helps organizations already invested in those systems, though the most advanced integrations are not all included in the lower tiers.

Privacy and support

PULT says Presence monitoring is anonymous, does not store personal IP or location data, and is hosted in Germany; its Presence AI infrastructure is ISO 27001-certified. Visitor Management describes GDPR-compliant automatic data deletion, secure storage, and encryption. Growth includes email, chat, and phone support; Business includes a dedicated Customer Success Manager. These provisions make the suite more credible for organizations with privacy and support requirements, though each buyer should match the needed safeguards to the specific workflow and plan.

Pricing

The freemium model has a genuinely usable Workplace starting tier, but the published plan prices and headline starting price use different currencies. The pricing note says paid plans start at $3.40/user/mo, while the listed Workplace tiers are priced in euros.

• Workplace Starter: free, with up to 20 users, one location, and Help Centre access. It suits a small office evaluating basic workplace operations, but excludes paid-tier features and has little room to scale.
• Workplace Growth: €2.90 /user/month, billed monthly. It adds one-click desk booking, Slack, MS Teams, and Google integration, SSO, office insights and analytics, and meeting-room booking with catering. It is the clearest fit for teams that need bookings and integrations without HRIS integration or Presence AI auto check-in.
• Workplace Business: €3.90 /user/month, billed monthly. It includes Growth, plus HRIS integration, automatic Presence AI check-in, custom labels and policies, and a dedicated Customer Success Manager. The modest step up over Growth is justified for offices that need attendance-linked check-in or HR connections.
• Visitor Management Business: from €99 /location/month. It includes a customizable kiosk, host alerts, custom visitor flows, digital document signing, integrations with MS Teams, Slack, and Google, and a dedicated support team. This is a distinct location-priced purchase for reception workflows, rather than an add-on price per Workplace user.
• Visitor Management Enterprise: custom pricing. It adds blocklist scanning, guest Wi-Fi and access-control integrations, multi-channel emergency notifications, and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
• Workplace Enterprise: custom pricing for full access to Presence AI, white labeling, API access, Okta integration, and SLA guarantees.
• Presence AI Enterprise: custom pricing for custom integrations, desk-based occupancy, custom AI agents, Okta integration, and SLA guarantees.

PULT offers a free trial, but no trial length is stated. The paid Workplace prices are billed monthly; the free tier's user and location caps are the key constraint for small organizations considering continued use.

Platforms

PULT supports iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Presence offers desktop agent apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux; Workplace has a mobile app, and Visitor Management supports a native iPad kiosk. Android is not among the listed platforms, which may matter to teams relying on Android phones for workplace tasks.

Who it's for

PULT is a strong candidate for offices that need desk and room booking alongside attendance detection and visitor reception, especially where existing Wi-Fi, HR, calendar, and communication systems are central to operations. Smaller teams can start on Starter, while organizations needing HRIS connections, auto check-in, or dedicated support have a clear Business tier. It is less suitable for buyers seeking one simple price for all workflows: Workplace and visitor plans use different billing units, and advanced needs may require custom pricing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Presence detection uses existing Wi-Fi and LAN, avoiding the need for extra attendance hardware.
• Pro: Desk, meeting-room, parking, analytics, and visitor workflows sit within one product family, with more than 75 integrations spanning major workplace systems.
• Pro: Starter allows up to 20 users at no charge, giving a small office a meaningful starting point.
• Con: Starter is limited to one location and 20 users, so larger teams must move to paid plans.
• Con: Visitor Management Business starts at €99 /location/month, a separate cost structure from per-user Workplace plans.
• Con: Several advanced options, including white labeling, API access, access-control integrations, and SLA guarantees, require custom pricing.
• Con: The listed platforms omit Android, which may be inconvenient for Android-first teams.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Workplace Management Software.

• Envoy Workplace is worth considering for a small business that can work within a 100-entry monthly cap on its free Basic plan, or for buyers who prefer its $2.00 per month Standard (Response) plan billed annually.
• Appspace Workplace suits teams that want a free starting tier with two Premium Users, one Appspace Device ID, 5GB monthly storage and bandwidth, and two admins, or that need an Enterprise plan.
• Eden Workplace is an alternative for buyers focused on desk booking, with its Accelerate monthly plan priced at $2.25 / Desk / Month and sold in sets of 25 desks.
• Skedda may fit organizations that do not need a free plan and prefer a Starter option with 15 spaces, unlimited users and bookings, and basic rules for $99 a month, billed annually.
• Spacewell is another paid workplace option.
• Kadence is a freemium alternative offering a WorkOps plan.
• OfficeEfficient is a paid alternative with custom-quoted packages.
• Parso is a paid alternative.

Verdict

Choose PULT if your office wants attendance detection, space booking, and visitor processes coordinated through one suite, especially when using its existing network and integrations. The free tier makes it approachable for a small, single-location team, while Business adds the HRIS and automatic check-in features that make the platform more useful at scale. Look elsewhere if Android support is essential, if you need a single predictable price across workplace and visitor operations, or if custom-priced enterprise features are central to your decision.
