Membership Plan Types

Learn the key differences between Time Based and Entry Based membership types and discover when to use each for your space.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

When creating a new membership plan, you need to choose between two main types: Time Based and Entry Based. Understanding the difference is key to setting up plans that fit your space and member needs.

Time Based Membership

  • Grants members access for a specific duration (e.g., 30 days, 90 days).

  • Typically assigned to exactly one specific desk resource. This is ideal for dedicated desk plans or memberships granting continuous access to a specific zone.

  • Access is continuous throughout the plan's duration, subject to the assigned desk's operating hours.

  • The price covers the entire duration, regardless of how often the member uses the space.

Entry Based Membership

  • Provides members with a specific number of entries or visits to the space (e.g., 10 entries).

  • Can be assigned to one or more desk resources. This allows members flexible access to different hot desk zones or areas based on availability.

  • Each visit or check-in consumes one entry from the member's allowance.

  • The plan duration (e.g., 30 days) still applies, meaning entries must be used within that period.

  • Suitable for flexible or part-time members who don't need continuous access.

Key Difference: The core distinction lies in the access model. Time Based offers continuous access for a set period, usually tied to a single location, while Entry Based offers a set number of visits, potentially across multiple locations within the space, within a defined timeframe. Choose the type that best reflects how you want members to access and pay for using your space resources.
