Cheap Coworking Space Prices In Singapore: A Comparison

When we think of coworking spaces, most would immediately be reminded of Wework. Gorgeous layouts in areas where food and transport options are easily accessible, getting a membership there will naturally command premium fees as well.

However, this may not be the most ideal option for start-up companies or small businesses on a budget. 

In this article, we will compare some of the most affordable co-working spaces in Singapore and evaluate in terms of the types of entrepreneurs that would be most suitable for each of these spaces.

Hot desks can cost anywhere from $180/mth to $580/mth while dedicated desks can range from $300/mth to $880/mth. Price range heavily depends on location. Private office prices depend on the pax it can occupy, but the larger the office, the per pax cost is driven down as well.

For the east area, Spaceship's prices are 33%, 38% & 30% lower than the next cheapest provider for their hot desks, fixed desks & private offices respectively.

And it doesn't mean that their spaces are shabby just because they are the cheapest. The main reason for having such low prices is because the co-working option is an added option available only to users who are using the warehouse storage space to store inventory products.

What Affects The Prices Of Coworking?

• Duration Of The Workspace Rental Lease

While the cost for day passes is definitely the lowest, opting for longer durations will get you a lower rental cost per day to compensate for the higher commitment level. 

To entice you further, some spaces even offer 1 month free promotions if you sign up for more than 6 months. Of course, their discounts might increase if you’re signing up for a bigger sized area.

• Location of the Coworking Space

For coworking space nearer to prime districts like CBD, the rental prices would be a little steeper.

That said, the value in terms of accessibility to transport and food options brought about by those locations would sometimes more than compensate for the increase in prices.

• Additional Amenities & Benefits Beyond  A Shared Office

Be it storage units or special business discounts, there are some extra perks that are invaluable to businesses and should be accounted for before signing up impulsively to the next cheapest available workspace.

Other general benefits that you should lookout for in co-working spaces include being able to hop into the space of any of their locations or free passes to events that they organise.

• Aesthetics & Design Of The Space

The aesthetics of a space will affect the vibes you feel within it, while the the overall layout design will affect whether the environment is conducive and whether it makes your work more productive.

More people will naturally opt for the more conducive coworking spaces which will drive up demand and subsequently prices.
