Plan & contract
Task

Choosing a contract

How contracts work in selfdesk: the common plan styles you'll see, what your space decides, and how switching works.

Every selfdesk member needs an active contract, sometimes called a plan, to book desks, open doors, or use rooms. Your space's owner defines its own plans. Names, prices, what's included, and whether check-in is required are all decided by your coworking space, not by selfdesk.

That said, most spaces offer a few familiar plan styles:

Common plan styles

Pay-as-you-go

You pay only for the days you actually work from the space. Every day you come in is billed individually.

  • Check-in required. You tap Check In in the app when you arrive.
  • Room bookings may cost extra.
  • Meant for: members who come in occasionally.

Part-time

A fixed monthly base price that includes a certain number of check-in days. If you come in more than that, extra days are charged on top.

  • Check-in required, so selfdesk can count your days.
  • Room bookings are often free.
  • Meant for: members who come in a few days a week.

Unlimited

A flat monthly price with unlimited days. Often comes with a fixed desk reserved just for you.

  • No check-in required. Your access is always active.
  • Room bookings are often free.
  • Meant for: members who work from the space most days.

The exact names, prices, included days, and perks are whatever your space set up. You'll see the real options when you pick a plan in the app.

Picking a plan

After you join your workspace, the app shows you the plans your space offers. Tap any plan to see:

  • The price: the amount you pay, VAT included. Beside it you see which rate that contains; a small business shows no VAT at all (§ 19 UStG).
  • What's included: days, room access, extras.
  • Whether check-in is required.
  • Any other rules your space has set.

Choose the plan that matches how you actually work. You can always switch later.

Switching plans

You can change plans any time from Profile → Contract → My Plan.

  • Changes become effective on the 1st of the next month.
  • Your current month keeps running on the old plan.
  • Your history of invoices, bookings and check-ins stays with your account.

Cancelling

Most plans are month-to-month. The exact cancellation rules depend on the plan your space offers. You'll see them before you pick a plan. Reach out to your space admin if you're unsure.
