Who Archie is best for
Hybrid-office managers
Workweek scheduling, seat assignment and a map for finding colleagues help a facilities team coordinate who sits where on which days of the week.
Companies on Microsoft 365
Pro adds booking from Microsoft Teams and Outlook, so employees reserve a desk from the calendar tools they already use during the day.
Security-minded IT teams
Pro lists SSO and automated provisioning through SCIM, and Enterprise adds custom data residency, which gives IT something to review early.

What Archie does
- Visual floor plans
- Staff pick a seat on a plan and see where colleagues sit, which replaces a spreadsheet of desk numbers kept by an office manager. Employees see which colleagues are in on a given day without asking around in chat.
- Workweek scheduling
- Employees plan which days they will be in, and the system assigns seats, so a team can arrange to sit together on chosen days. Managers can fix team days, and an employee can book desks for the week in a single step.
- QR-code check-in
- A code at the desk confirms use, which lets facilities see no-shows and release unused seats for others to book later in the day. It also helps teams that run hot desks, where unused bookings would otherwise block a seat.
- Calendar and chat booking
- Pro adds booking inside Microsoft Teams and Outlook and a Slack integration, so reservations do not require opening a separate app. That cuts the context switching for staff who live in calendar and chat tools all day.
- Occupancy analytics
- Starter includes occupancy reports that show how full a floor is across days, which informs lease and layout decisions for a hybrid office. Those numbers show peak days and underused areas to the facilities team over a quarter.
How Archie handles your data
The Archie pricing page links a privacy policy, an SLA and a data processing addendum, but we did not open them, so retention, training use and certifications were not checked. The page lists SSO and SCIM provisioning on Pro and custom data residency under Enterprise, with no region named and no certification stated. Operators handling employee location data should request the addendum and a list of sub-processors before piloting.
Where Archie falls short in practice
- Billing basis unclear. The page does not say whether $159 and $249 are per desk, room, user or location, so cost for 200 employees cannot be derived. Ask the vendor for a worked quote at your headcount.
- Security on higher tiers. SSO and SCIM start at Pro, and custom data residency and premium API support appear only under Enterprise, so small teams get less. Small teams therefore get fewer security controls than enterprise ones.
- Office tool, not a member system. Starter and Pro describe employee desk use, not memberships, invoicing or day passes, so a coworking operator needs a different system. That is a different job from running a shared office for outside members.

Alternatives to Archie
Archie: common questions
How much does Archie cost?
Starter is $159 a month for one location and Pro is $249 a month for multiple locations, in the pricing we read in November 2026. Enterprise is custom. The page does not state whether the price is per desk, room, user or location, so ask for a written example at your headcount.
Does Archie have AI features?
The pages we opened name no AI feature. Archie is presented as a booking, floor plan and analytics product. Operators who want AI agents for inquiries and renewals will find that in other vendors on this list, and should compare those rather than expect it here.
Can employees book Archie desks from Teams?
Yes, but on Pro. The Pro plan lists Microsoft Teams and Outlook booking and a Slack integration. Starter offers a web and mobile app only. Check with the vendor how bookings sync with calendars and whether guests can be added to a reservation.
Does Archie support SSO?
SSO and automated user provisioning through SCIM are listed on Pro at $249 a month. Starter does not list them. Enterprise adds security and compliance support and custom data residency. Ask for the identity providers that are supported before piloting.
Is Archie suited to a coworking operator?
It is closer to an office-booking product. The pages describe seat assignment, workweek scheduling and occupancy analytics for organizations, with no membership plans, invoicing or day passes. A coworking operator who sells memberships would compare Spacebring, Nexudus or Cobot instead.
