Deskfound vs Officely: two Slack-native desk booking apps compared

‍

Lower price per user

Deskfound costs $1.50 per user per month - 40% less than Officely's Basic plan at $2.50 per user per month. For a 50-person team, that's a saving of $600 per year. Deskfound's free plan also covers up to 10 users, compared to Officely's free tier which is capped at 5 users - making Deskfound a better fit for small teams testing the waters before committing.

Focused simplicity

Deskfound is deliberately focused on desk booking and daily office coordination. For teams that just want to know who's in and grab a desk without navigating a broader feature set, that focus translates to a faster, simpler daily experience.

Google-first integration

If your team runs on Google Workspace, Deskfound's Google Calendar integration is tight and central to the product. Officely's primary integrations are Slack and Teams, with Google Calendar as a secondary connection.

Officely is the stronger choice if your team needs more than desk booking from a Slack-native tool. Its meeting room booking, car parking management, and smart office day recommendations - which suggest the best days to come in based on team preferences - add genuine value for offices managing multiple resources. Officely also supports Microsoft Teams natively, making it a better fit for teams that use Teams rather than Slack, or that use both. Its attendance analytics are also more detailed, which matters for People and Culture teams tracking hybrid work patterns over time.

What's the difference between Deskfound and Officely?

Both tools live natively in Slack and let teams book desks and coordinate hybrid office days. The main differences are price - Deskfound is $1.50 per user per month vs Officely's $2.50 - and feature scope. Officely adds meeting room booking, parking management, and smart office day recommendations. Deskfound is more focused, simpler, and less expensive.

Does Officely have a free plan?

Yes, Officely has a free plan for up to 5 users. Deskfound's free plan covers up to 10 users, making it more generous for small teams evaluating their options.

Is Officely more expensive than Deskfound?

Yes. Officely's Basic plan is $2.50 per user per month (billed annually), compared to Deskfound's $1.50. For a 30-person team that's a difference of $360 per year; for a 100-person team it's $1,200 per year.

Does Officely work with Microsoft Teams?

Yes - Officely supports both Slack and Microsoft Teams natively. Deskfound is currently Slack-first. If your team is on Teams rather than Slack, Officely is the stronger fit.

Which is easier to set up?

Both tools are designed for fast setup directly inside Slack. Deskfound is slightly more focused in scope, which can make initial configuration faster for teams that only need desk booking. Officely's broader feature set means a few more options to configure on first run.
