Coworking vs. Codi

Your business needs a reliable, flexible workspace solution; that means considering all office space platforms. Learn how Codi compares to Coworking.

Codi Coworking
Distraction-free / privacy Our office spaces are private and tailored to your team's needs. Each space includes areas for private meetings and calls. Common areas are noisy and distracting. You don't feel a sense of ownership over the space.
Flexibility Codi offers flexible leases (as little as 3 months) and schedules (1x/week to full time). Most spaces offer 24 hour access. Coworking spaces are available to your team during regular work hours. Access and cost flexibility will depend on your membership plan.
Employee engagement Codi's flexible workspace solutions provide teams with turnkey offices designed to foster team collaboration. A knowledgeable support team will help you make the space your own. Coworking communities are filled with working professionals like yourself. But with no ownership over the space, it can be hard to build company culture.
Cost You can expect to save up to 60% compared to a traditional office lease. Since we have no lease obligations to cover, Codi has the lowest overhead of any of our competitors. Basic memberships start at $45 per month, plus additional fees to use office spaces depending on location. In Los Angeles for example, a standard office space starts at $620 per month.
Amenities Our office spaces come with free WiFi, a work area, meeting spaces, coffee and tea, bathrooms, and a kitchen. Other amenities may include whiteboards, printers, fax, and other perks. Please consult with your Codi Concierge for more information. Standard amenities include bike parking, Wifi, meeting rooms and phone booths, stocked kitchens, and printers. Some locations include extra amenities like pool tables, darts, etc.
Lease terms We offer the most flexible lease terms on the market, with leases starting at just 3 months. Typically longer term leases for Enterprises (multi-month, multi-year) and higher cost if the commitment is shorter.
Exclusivity Our office spaces are always private for your team on the days you've reserved. We offer flexible terms to reduce your office costs, including part-time reservations for a few days per week. In those cases, other companies may use the workspace on days of the week when your team is not there. Coworking providers spread businesses across their facilities.
Geographic reach Codi office spaces are available across North America. Our knowledgeable team can source offices near you and your employees, wherever you're located. Typically in dense metropolitan areas where they can find office space, far from where most people live.
Commute Codi works closely with your business to find flexible workspaces close to where your employees live. We want everyone to have access to a pleasant, easy commute by foot or by bike. Coworking spaces are typically only located downtown. Long car and bus rides are often necessary.
Local economic impact We believe in supporting our communities. Codi flexible office space owners receive the bulk of membership fees, so the fees are typically funneled back into the local economy. Ancillary businesses also benefit from employees using their services locally. Coworking providers buy/ lease office space in prime areas, which experience greater demand and higher prices. They make office space more affordable and flexible for start ups and remote workers compared to traditional office settings, supporting the local economy of workers. But they do little to serve local communities directly.
Carbon footprint Codi finds office space close to where your employees live. If the average worker skipped their long drives and instead walked or biked to work, they would save close to 2 tons of carbon emissions per year. Spaces offer bike parking, which encourages people to commute with a lower carbon footprint. However, given central locations, walking and biking may not be realistic for most members.
