Summary

Seatsurfing helps organizations book desks, rooms, parking lots, and other shared spaces. Employees use a mobile-ready progressive web app with floor-plan and list views. Administrators can upload floor plans, place spaces by drag and drop, set booking limits, and review utilization statistics. Integrations include Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Exchange, and Atlassian Confluence, depending on plan or plugin. Bookings can sync one way to CalDAV calendars; the personal CalDAV integration does not support Google Calendar or Microsoft Exchange. Authentication can use a password or an external OAuth2 provider, and multifactor authentication supports TOTP or passkeys. The REST API checks roles and organization membership. The maker says SaaS servers are in Germany, with Finland hosting optionally available to Enterprise customers. Free cloud hosting supports up to 10 users, while free Self-Hosted supports unlimited users. Professional costs 0.90 EUR per month, paid upfront at the start of each subscription cycle. Seatsurfing is intended for organizations providing free employee spaces, not commercial rental.
