Looking for a Croissant or Deskpass alternative in Bali, Amsterdam, or Barcelona?

A Croissant or Deskpass alternative for Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Bali: book a desk by the day with credits or card.

Looking for a Croissant or Deskpass alternative in Bali, Amsterdam, or Barcelona?

If you already hold a multi-city network subscription, you do not need a reason to switch. You need a reason to also open Kopuno when you are specifically in Amsterdam, Barcelona, or Bali. Kopuno is not a replacement for a wide network pass. It is the better tool for the three cities where it is actually live.

Multi-city network subscriptions sell access across many buildings in many cities: one subscription, a wide map. A traditional membership sells one building, on a lease. Kopuno sells the days you need a desk, in the cities where it is live: Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Bali, today. If your week is somewhere else, keep the network subscription. That is still the right tool for a city Kopuno does not cover.

People search for a credit-based or pay-per-use coworking alternative when the network pass still works for travel weeks, but the week in front of them is a specific desk in a specific neighborhood. That is a different job from "open any door on the map." This page is for that search.

What Kopuno is

Kopuno lets you browse spaces, open a listing, pick your dates, and pay with credits or card in the app. Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Bali are live today. A credit pack is prepaid booking power, not a second subscription. Start flexible, upgrade when you're ready. Public packs start at €14 for 20 credits (Quick Top-Up), with Explorer at €35/50, Nomad at €58/90, and Resident at €105/180.

You are not buying a city-wide identity. You are booking a listing. The checkout, the hours, and the desk belong to that space. If the listing is full that day, you pick another. If you only need two days this month, you only pay for two days.

When each tool actually wins

Pick a multi-city network subscription if your year is a tour across many cities. One relationship and many doors is the better trade when that is how you live. Keep that subscription. Do not cancel it because you found a better desk tool for three cities.

Pick a traditional membership if you are in one neighborhood most weekdays. A marketplace is extra software you don't need when the answer is always "the same desk, the same building." Locker, default seat, and a front desk that knows your face still win that life.

Pick Kopuno if you need a specific desk, specific hours, and a checkout that belongs to that listing, in Amsterdam, Barcelona, or Bali, this month. A pay-per-use alternative for those weeks is not a nationwide promise. It is a bookable listing with dates you can see before you pay.

When it makes sense to run both

Keep the network subscription for the cities it covers that Kopuno does not. There is no reason to cancel it. Add Kopuno for the weeks you are specifically in Bali, Barcelona, or Amsterdam and want a listing with a checkout that belongs to that space, not a network-wide day-credit.

A day-pass style booking in Amsterdam is useful when you already know the canal street, the client meeting, or the visitor stretch, and you want that desk on those dates. The same is true in Barcelona when Eixample or Gràcia is the week, and in Bali when Canggu or Ubud is the week, not "any building on the island."

If you're in one neighborhood most weekdays, a traditional membership still wins. Kopuno is for the uneven weeks: a visitor stretch, a client day, a city you're only in for a month. Write the desk days you already believe in. Price those as Kopuno days. Leave the rest unbought.

If you operate a space and you are already listed on a multi-city network, you can list on Kopuno too. Someone who wants this city, this desk, this date should not have to switch networks to sit down. People who already hold a network subscription still need a clear listing when they land in Amsterdam, Barcelona, or Bali and want a named desk, not a roulette wheel.

Questions

Is Kopuno a full replacement for a multi-city network?

An alternative for three specific cities, not a full replacement. Kopuno is live in Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Bali. Keep your network subscription for everywhere else.

Can I use both at the same time?

Yes. Nothing about booking on Kopuno requires cancelling another subscription. Use the network where Kopuno is not live. Book the listing where it is.

Is Kopuno a membership?

No. You book specific days on specific listings and pay with credits or card. You can hold a membership elsewhere at the same time.

Will Kopuno cover more cities eventually?

When a city is genuinely bookable: live desks, a public hub, payment in the app, the same way Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Bali launched. Not before.

Why keep the catalog small on purpose?

Because the listings are meant to be bookable. A short live list in Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Bali beats a long maybe list that looks bigger in a screenshot. A pay-per-use alternative that invents cities is not useful.

Should I read this before I've used either?

If you are choosing a network for a multi-city year, yes. If you already know you need a desk in Amsterdam or Bali this month, skip straight to the Amsterdam hub, Barcelona hub, or Bali hub instead.
