How does Coworks software compare to Nexudus?
A comparison for coworking operators considering both platforms
Coworks is built with a community-first, mobile-centric philosophy, explicitly designed by people who have worked in coworking spaces themselves, alongside actual operators. It's an intuitive, accessible platform that won't overwhelm small-to-mid-sized operators. The platform prioritizes ease of use and mobile-first apps while avoiding bloated, feature-heavy applications.
Nexudus is one of the most established coworking platforms on the market — founded in 2012 and used across 90+ countries. It's a configurable, feature-rich platform designed for operators who need deep customization, powerful automation, and a flexible tech stack. Its strength lies in adaptability, but that flexibility comes with a steeper learning curve and more complex pricing.

Comprehensive billing engine with recurring and one-time charges, bespoke pricing plans, virtual office support, and automated workflows. Extremely flexible but requires configuration investment. |

Offers a member portal and companion app (Passport) with directory, messaging, and community boards. Community features are present but secondary to operational power. |

Highly configurable but carries a real learning curve. Some users compare initial setup to 'navigating a labyrinth.' Better suited to operators with technical capacity or dedicated IT support. |
Coworks pricing compared to Nexudus
Coworks uses flat-fee pricing by feature tier rather than per-member pricing. The Essentials plan starts at $149/month (billed annually) plus $99/month per additional location. The Premium plan at $249/month unlocks white-label apps, automated billing and invoicing, a leads CRM, push notifications, and analytics. Pricing is predictable and doesn't scale against you as your membership grows.
Nexudus uses per-active-member pricing. Costs start at approximately $150/month for smaller spaces and scale based on how many active members (those with active plans or recent bookings/invoices) you have in any given month. A white-label branded app is an additional $150/month for up to 5 locations. For spaces with 200+ active members, or those running multiple locations, costs can rise substantially. Non-active members are always stored in the CRM at no charge, and a 21-day free trial is available.

Ease of use
Coworks is widely praised for its simplicity and fast onboarding — designed for operators who aren't especially tech-savvy. Its multi-platform suite (Admin, Mobile, Booking, and FrontDesk) is intuitive enough that a community manager can run the space without an IT background. Most spaces are live in days, not weeks.
Nexudus is exceptionally powerful and configurable — but that flexibility has a cost. Initial setup requires time, careful configuration, and ideally a technically capable team member. Many user reviews note a steep learning curve at the start, though those who invest in onboarding consistently report the platform adapts well to their unique workflows and grows with their space. Nexudus offers an onboarding specialist, training modules, and 24/7 email support to help operators get there.
Customer support
Coworks markets itself on high-touch, human support — a meaningful differentiator for smaller operators who want to reach a real person quickly. This is frequently cited by customers as one of Coworks' standout strengths.
Nexudus has built a strong reputation for customer support, with many reviewers calling it exceptional. Multiple users on Capterra note rapid response times — sometimes within the hour, even on weekends — and describe the support team as treating customers more like colleagues than ticket numbers. Support is available 24/7 via email, and Nexudus offers bespoke training packages and an Academy for ongoing learning.
