Key differences

  • One system: YAROOMS covers desk, room and parking booking. Awaio adds digital locks, door access and lockers that open with the phone.
  • Pricing that doesn’t follow headcount: YAROOMS charges a flat monthly price per user band and keeps parking and API access for its Enterprise tier. Awaio is priced per resource, with unlimited users.
  • Support in your language: the YAROOMS interface comes in nine languages, not Swedish or Norwegian. Awaio support answers in English, Swedish and Norwegian.
  • Built for shared buildings too: Awaio retrofits existing doors and lockers, and lets several companies share one building, each managing their own part.
