Different use cases. If Worksphere has researched the regulations and guidance around returning to in-office work then this could be a great value.

Half of the value might be "if you use this solution then you are compliant" with the other half coming from the actual tooling to orchestrate "you can work in office today but you can't because you came in yesterday and other people need to have meetings".

I'm not familiar with competitors in the space but my gut reaction to the pricing is that most companies will see $6/mo of value from streamlining an employee's return to the office.

If they can promise compliance, this is worth $200/desk/month easy.

I don’t think they can realistically promise that, though...

We've been paying particular attention to California, since minimum workplace contact tracing standards and workplace COVID exposure notification were signed into law with AB-685 and SB-1159.

The other part is getting people to do all the things needed. Mostly that's making it easy to do, which is where this kind of put-it-on autopilot approach to set an office schedule helps, and making it really easy to go into the office for a day.

It's not machine learning and sensors to make sure people are wearing a mask and staying 6 feet apart, but it does meet the bar for most companies.
