Deskpass

The old $50 for 5 day monthly membership was amazing. The new model of pay per visit just isn’t good enough to convince me to use it often when 2 visits costs more than the old monthly membership. And let’s be honest, the spaces I’m going to are not full. I’m basically a fly on the wall using no resources except a bit of WiFi and some water, and I’m never there past 2pm when I leave to get my kid from school. So it just isn’t worth it. It sure used to be nice to get out of the house once a week to break up the WFH monotony, it just isn’t worth it now

This review is specifically for the app, which is a headache. 1) I constantly get logged out. 2) Map view is rough — it appears like there are many Desks in my area, but when I click in, many places are Meet Only, even though I have the “Desk” filter on. Deskpass as a platform is great and I’m glad my company provides it and pays for it, as prices at many spaces have increased.

Availability not up to date

App unusable (didn’t let me book), website almost unusable (sounds good button hidden below scroll on mobile, no confirmation email)

Filling out all the info doesn’t enable the create button. Seems like there’s no way to create an accountl

I joined DeskPass early 2019, and was really happy with it. Then the pandemic hit, and all coworking spaces vanished from their app. Now in 2022, most of those workspaces have disappeared from the app with very few undesirable ones left. In addition to that, the company started unpausing my account automatically and charging me for months when I wasn’t using the service. When I contacted them to request a refund, they said that I should either cancel or keep paying my account every month, which is a big annoyance. I requested that my account would remain active and paused, but instead the company canceled my account, which led to losing hundreds of dollars worth of credits that I have already purchased and can no longer use. Honestly, I cannot find a single reason to use or recommend DeskPass at this point. Better alternatives with cheaper prices and more available locations are now possible, so I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

Where to even begin. Let’s start with the plans: There are on 19-22 workdays in a month, and most spaces are only open on weekdays. When would I ever need 25 credits?? There has to be something between 12 and 25, or have spaces that offer better hours The spaces: There’s no consistency between the spaces. Good luck finding the secret methodical entrances to each one. Some spaces don’t communicate their hours accurately on Deskpass so prepare to waste time driving to a place only to find it closed. The app: I’m on iOS and it’s buggy. Feels terrible

The Deskpass app is so easy to use and provides a good selection of affordable workspaces in my city.

Deskpass gives our company the ability to choose the most optimal work places to get work done. We use on-demand meeting rooms and offices to collaborate or get that total deep dive mind space, and day-desks for spontaneous decisions on where we need to be and work. We often plan our weeks together using Deskpass’s space links and have developed fun and productive work pods using Deskpass that are convenient to where we live. Nothing replaces seeing my team and clients in person and Deskpass makes this easy and convenient for us. Its one of the first apps I look at in the morning to plan my day. Way to solve hybrid work Deskpass!

This app is incredibly easy to use and gives me access to desks, phone booths, meeting rooms and offices all over the world, on demand whenever I need them. My company has a team account and pays for it too, which makes it all the better!
