Robin

Robin is unchanged in name and ownership: the product is Robin and the company is Robin Powered, Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts. No rename, acquisition or discontinuation was found.

The capability set described on the vendor site is broad for a booking-first product. Bookable resources extend beyond desks and rooms to lockers, parking and other resource types, which is unusual and useful for organisations with constrained parking or locker allocation. Floor plans support space management including planning office layouts and moves. Workplace analytics cover utilisation, presence and forecasting, with forecasting being the less common element. Hybrid scheduling includes team-day policies, meaning you can express a rule such as a given team being in on given days rather than only recording individual intentions. Visitor management and wayfinding are both present. There is a workplace services layer for room issue reporting and tech or AV ticket tracking, plus device monitoring and calendar health alerts, which is a genuine differentiator for anyone managing a large fleet of room displays.

On the capability that matters most here, Robin names Microsoft 365 integration with both Outlook and Teams explicitly, plus Google Calendar and Slack. That is a clearer statement than most competitors in this set manage. What the site does not do is spell out whether recurring meetings and cancellations round-trip correctly from the calendar, so the integration is recorded as yes with that caveat noted rather than as fully characterised. Robin also markets an MCP connector for booking from AI assistants, and references a developer API with documentation linked from the site, though the developer subdomain tried during this pass did not resolve.

Pricing is the surprise. Despite Robin being widely assumed to publish per-user rates, its pricing page carries no figures at all. It says only that every workplace is different and invites a form submission for tailored pricing. The one concrete commercial fact published is that all Robin subscriptions are billed annually. Neither a free plan nor a free trial is offered; the calls to action are a product tour and a demo booking.

Robin suits organisations whose workplace problem is resource booking at scale with real Microsoft dependency. The explicit Outlook and Teams naming, the team-day hybrid policies, and the device monitoring and calendar health alerting together describe a product built for an estate with many meeting rooms, many displays and a Microsoft 365 tenant that matters. If you have ever had a room display drift out of calendar sync and found out from a complaint, the monitoring and alerting is worth real money.

The resource breadth also matters. If you need to allocate parking spaces or lockers alongside desks, Robin covers that natively where most competitors do not.

It is a weaker fit where deep space planning is the requirement. Robin describes floor plans and planning layouts and moves, but nothing equivalent to Serraview block and stack planning, space chargeback rules or BOMA area reporting. Portfolio and real estate teams should look at a space management product instead or as well.

It is also a poor fit for a small organisation wanting to self-serve. There is no free plan, no advertised trial, no published price, and annual-only billing. You cannot evaluate Robin on cost without talking to sales, and you cannot start small on a monthly commitment.

Typical use cases: Microsoft 365 organisations running large meeting room estates with tablet displays, hybrid desk booking with team-day attendance policies, and parking or locker allocation alongside desk booking.
