Comparison based on publicly available information. Robin features may vary by plan.
Where Deska is the better fit
Deska is a strong choice if pricing transparency matters. Our plans and desk limits are listed on the homepage — you do not need to contact sales to understand what you will pay.
If your team uses Telegram, Deska is the only desk booking tool with a native Telegram bot included on all plans. Employees can book, cancel, and check availability without opening a browser.
For teams that want to be operational in under 30 minutes without an enterprise onboarding process, Deska's self-serve setup is a significant advantage.
Where Robin may be the better fit
Robin has been in the market longer and has deeper enterprise integrations — including Microsoft 365, Slack, and room booking. If you need those integrations or a dedicated customer success team for a large rollout, Robin may better fit your requirements.
For most hybrid teams in the 20–500 employee range who need desk booking with maps and do not require an enterprise-grade integration suite, Deska covers the core use case at a significantly lower cost.
