Quick answer

Choose by how many days you will actually come in. At Dott Co+work, up to three days a week is cheaper on day passes (from S$9 a day on a 10-day pass), and four or more days a week is better value on the S$180 monthly desk, which also includes four hours of meeting room time. For one-off afternoons, the hourly rate of S$2 (four hour minimum) is cheapest, and for irregular months the flexible passes stay valid for up to eight months.

When does a monthly desk become cheaper?

On paper, the cheapest day costs S$9 on a 10-day pass, so S$180 buys 20 days. In practice passes come in packs of 3, 5 and 10 days, each valid for 30 days, so here is what a month really costs at different paces.

2 days a weekS$90 a monthOne 10-day pass. Monthly would cost S$180.
3 days a weekS$126 a monthA 10-day and a 3-day pass for about 13 days.
4 days a weekS$176 or S$180S$176 on 10, 5 and 3-day passes for about 17 days, or S$180 for the monthly desk.

At four days a week the two cost almost the same, and the monthly desk includes four hours of meeting room time, worth S$60 at the four-hour meeting room rate. At five days a week, passes would cost about S$216 against S$180 for the monthly desk. So the rule of thumb is simple: three days a week or fewer, buy passes; four or more, go monthly.

Which hot desk plan should I choose?

A few hours, now and thenHourly, S$2 an hourFour hour minimum, so S$8 for an afternoon. No commitment.
One or two days a week10-day pass, S$90S$9 a day, valid for 30 days.

What else should I weigh besides price?

  • Hours. All hot desk plans cover weekdays 9am to 6pm. If you work evenings or weekends, a dedicated desk (S$250 a month, 24/7 access) may suit you better.
  • Storage. A hot desk means packing up each day. A dedicated desk comes with secured storage.
  • Calls. If you take many calls, count on the privacy pod or meeting room hours.
  • Expiry. Day passes last 30 days. Unused days on a short pass are lost, so do not over-buy.

Day pass or monthly desk: common questions

Once you come in about four days a week or more. At Dott Co+work day passes come in packs of 3, 5 and 10 days, so about 17 days a month costs S$176 on passes, almost the same as the S$180 monthly desk, and the monthly desk adds four hours of meeting room time. Below three days a week, passes are clearly cheaper.

About four. At three days a week the cheapest passes cost about S$126 a month, well under the S$180 monthly desk. At four days a week they cost about S$176, and at five days a week about S$216, so the monthly desk wins from four days on.

At Dott Co+work, the 3, 5 and 10 day passes are valid for 30 days. The flexible passes last longer: 15 days within 3 months, 30 days within 5 months, and 60 days within 8 months.

A 10-day pass at S$90 covers two days a week for a month, at S$9 a day. If your weeks are irregular, the 30-day flexible pass at S$330 is valid for five months, at S$11 a day.
