Spacebase

Spacebase is worth comparing when a company books external meeting spaces repeatedly and needs approvals, invoices and spending visibility. Its booking and reservation buttons have different consequences, so users should understand the confirmation and cancellation workflow before placing a request.

Business Basic from €49/month; Plus from €149/month; venue Standard 20% commission or Pro €890 net/year plus 8%

Honest Limitations

Confirmation can create a binding booking

Official help distinguishes a reservation from a booking request that becomes binding when the venue confirms. Cancellation charges then depend on the space provider's policy.

Cancel through the platform

The cancellation guide says to use the booking's cancellation action; email or conversation messages are not accepted as cancellation instructions.

Plan and processing-fee scope needs checking

Plus lists zero processing fees, while the same pricing page also describes a fee-waiver premium add-on. Confirm the applicable waiver and other optional services in the quote.

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! Venue hire, catering and selected extras are separate from Business subscription fees.
  • ! Confirm taxes, processing-fee waivers and premium procurement add-ons.
  • ! Confirmed-booking cancellation fees follow the venue policy; a paid Pro listing still carries commission.

Spacebase combines venue discovery with purchasing controls for companies that book meetings often. Compare the Business plan by the number of people who administer and book spaces, rather than by the number attending an event.

Before requesting a room, check whether the action creates a reservation or a booking. The official cancellation procedure is particularly important once the venue has confirmed.
