- Workplace and facilities teams that need real occupancy data to right-size office space and cut real-estate costs
- Microsoft 365 and Teams-centric organisations whose employees want no new login or app to learn
- Enterprise IT, legal and works-council teams with GDPR, data-residency and audit requirements
Ideal size: 250–10,000+ employees people · Scale-up to global enterprise with a formal hybrid-work policy

- Buyers expecting a heavy services-led implementation project or bespoke software build

Frequently asked questions
How long does deskbird take to implement?
The vendor states most organisations are up and running within a few days, because setup is self-serve and reuses existing Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Google Calendar and HRIS connections. Admins configure spaces, invite users and can start collecting usage insights immediately. A free trial is offered with no credit card required.
What does deskbird cost?
The Business plan is $3.75 per active user per month when billed annually ($4.75 monthly). Professional and Enterprise are custom-priced and add advanced analytics, public API access, ticketing, surveys and SLAs. Three paid add-ons exist: User & Data Management Plus, Rooms Plus and Visitors Plus. A free Starter plan is capped at 15 users.
Is deskbird secure and compliant enough for enterprise IT?
Yes. deskbird states it is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type 2 certified and fully GDPR compliant, with all data processed and hosted exclusively in the EU. It supports SSO/SAML 2.0, SCIM provisioning, RBAC and IdP-enforced MFA, runs annual third-party penetration tests and maintains a public Trust Center plus works-council documentation.
Does deskbird monitor individual employees?
The vendor states managers only access aggregated utilization data and that deskbird does not provide per-employee surveillance dashboards. Anonymous bookings, private profiles and private meetings are configurable, and transactional data such as bookings and check-ins is anonymized on a retention window that enterprise customers can adjust.
Which tools does deskbird integrate with?
Native Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 (Outlook add-in, MS 365 calendar, Entra ID), Slack, Google Workspace and Google Calendar, plus HRIS, access control, ticketing and hardware integrations (Workday, Personio, HiBob, Okta, ServiceNow, Jira and others). A public API and API-ready use cases are available from the Professional plan.
Can we pay monthly and what happens after the trial?
Both monthly and annual billing are available, with annual pricing offering savings. When the trial ends, organisations can upgrade to a paid plan to keep full functionality or continue on the Starter plan, which is limited to 15 users.
