Is Awaio an alternative to Ronspot?

Yes. Awaio books parking, desks and meeting rooms like Ronspot, and adds lockers, digital locks and door access in the same system. Ronspot goes deeper on parking allocation rules, so compare the rules you need. Many teams start with one module and add more later.

How do Ronspot and Awaio share out parking fairly?

Ronspot uses credits that admins refill each week or month, plus waitlists and booking windows per group. Awaio uses quotas in the booking rules, releases unused bookings after a check-in window, and can charge for parking.

Can Awaio open the car park barrier?

Yes. The Awaio Smart Access Box connects existing barriers, gates and doors to the app, and access follows the booking. Ronspot does this for car park barriers with GateLIFT or a connected access control system.

How is Ronspot priced compared to Awaio?

Both price per space rather than per user. Ronspot bills per bookable space, annually, with a minimum of 20 spaces, a setup fee and paid add-ons for integrations. Awaio is priced per resource, such as desks, rooms, lockers and parking, with unlimited users.

Does Awaio work with Microsoft 365?

Yes. Awaio syncs room calendars both ways, signs people in with their Microsoft 365 account and has an Outlook add-in for booking desks, rooms, parking and lockers. If booking inside Microsoft Teams matters most to you, Ronspot’s native Teams app is a strength.

Awaio vs Ronspot: which parking and desk booking platform fits you?

Ronspot started as a parking system and is strong on fair allocation, with credits, waitlists and booking in Microsoft Teams. Awaio also books parking, desks and rooms, and adds lockers, door access and paid parking in the same app.
