deskbird is a polished, enterprise-certified workplace platform aimed at organisations of 250 to 10,000+ employees. Team Today is the alternative for teams that want the same core job done more simply: desk, room and parking booking plus leave management, natively inside Microsoft Teams, with every price published: free for teams of up to 10, then £1–£1.50 per user/month.
Honest comparison · competitor facts checked August 2026No straw men here. deskbird is polished, carries the enterprise certifications Team Today doesn’t yet hold (ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2) and is built for multi-location complexity and company-wide rollouts at 250 to 10,000+ employees, with strong analytics (as of August 2026). It also now publishes a price for its Business tier, with custom pricing above that. If you’re a large enterprise running formal procurement and you need those certifications today, deskbird is a credible choice. More on that below.
Three things, honestly stated:
And one small observation about names: when a company has “desk” in its name, it tells you what the product starts with. Team Today’s name makes the opposite claim: the team, today. Desks, rooms and parking exist in service of the people using them.
deskbird advertises “over 90% user adoption” (as of August 2026), and we don’t dispute their number. The more useful question is why people use a tool: usage can be mandated, which makes any adoption figure hard to read. Team Today’s numbers are voluntary: 26,000 of its 32,000 users set their whereabouts on an average day, and Gruner sustains 85% usage across 1,100 people in 30 offices, because seeing when and where colleagues are working helps each person plan their own week. Accurate, voluntary data is also what makes the management reporting worth reading.

Sincerely: large enterprises (250+) whose procurement requires ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification today, who want enterprise-grade analytics as the centre of the product, and who are comfortable with custom pricing conversations for the upper tiers. Those are real requirements, and deskbird meets them now; Team Today’s ISO 27001 certification is on its roadmap but not yet held.

“This app is just perfect for organising hot desking & meeting rooms in our office. It syncs to our Outlook and is simple enough for people to use with virtually no training, but still has the capabilities to configure it to our specific requirements. The people at Team Today are friendly, professional, and extremely helpful offering a perfect solution without being over-priced!”
