Coworking Singapore: What a Desk Actually Costs, and When a Day Pass Beats a Membership (2026)

A hot desk in Singapore costs somewhere between $165 and $450 a month depending on who you ask, which is a wide enough spread that the operator matters more than the desk. Twenty coworking operators were read on their own sites on 11 September 2026. Five publish a full rate card across desk types, fourteen publish nothing you can compare, and one publishes rates for a different country. The five that do publish are enough to show what the tiers cost and where the break-even sits between paying by the day and paying by the month.

Published rates, by desk type

Operator	Day pass	Hot desk	Dedicated desk	Private office	Virtual office
SERVCORP	—	from $165	—	from $1,750	from $220
Work Central	—	S$230	S$350	S$1,380 suite	S$20
The Hive Lavender	$30	from $275	from $525	from $825	—
Distrii	$45 to $60	around $350	$550 to $750	from around $1,200	—
One&Co	$55, or $8 an hour	$450, or $700 with 24/7 access	$850	$2,400 for two people	$100

All figures are per person per month except the private office column, where the number covers the room. Work Central also lists a private work booth at S$500 a month, which sits between a dedicated desk and an office.

The day pass stops making sense at about eight days

Both operators that publish a day pass alongside a monthly hot desk make the crossover easy to calculate, and it lands in the same place for both:

• One&Co charges $55 for a day and $450 for a month, so the month wins from nine days onward. Below that the day pass is cheaper, and it runs 9am to 6pm rather than around the clock.
• The Hive Lavender charges $30 for a day pass and $275 for full-time, crossing over at ten days. Its part-time membership at $275 is priced identically to full time, so the choice there is about usage rights rather than money.
• Distrii runs $45 to $60 a day against roughly $350 a month, crossing between six and eight days, the earliest break-even of the three.

Two days a week is roughly eight or nine days a month, which is exactly where these lines cross. That is the decision point for most hybrid arrangements, and it explains why operators price day passes where they do.

The virtual office is the widest spread on the page

Work Central charges S$20 a month for business registration and mail. SERVCORP charges from $220. One&Co sits between at $100. An eleven-fold gap on what is nominally the same product is larger than any other spread here, and larger than the gap between a hot desk and a dedicated desk anywhere in the table.

What separates them is what comes attached. SERVCORP's virtual office is sold alongside receptionist and call handling, and its meeting rooms are priced separately from $102 an hour. A $20 mail-and-registration line is a compliance address; a $220 one is a front desk.

Moving up a tier costs less than moving operator

Within any one operator, the step from hot desk to dedicated desk is modest. Work Central goes S$230 to S$350, The Hive Lavender $275 to $525, One&Co $450 to $850. Across operators, the same hot desk runs $165 at SERVCORP and $450 at One&Co, which is a bigger jump than most upgrades.

So the cheaper move for someone who wants a permanent spot is often a dedicated desk at a mid-priced operator rather than a hot desk at a premium one. Work Central's dedicated desk at S$350 undercuts One&Co's hot desk at $450.

One operator's published rates are for another country

JustCo publishes clear pricing, and the page that answers a pricing query quotes Australian dollars for Australian locations: AUD $50 a day and memberships from $340 a month. Those figures are not Singapore rates and are left out of the table above rather than converted, because a converted number would imply a price JustCo does not charge here.

It is worth knowing when reading any coworking comparison. Several of these operators run across a dozen cities, and the pricing page a search returns is not always the one for the city being searched from.

Fourteen publish nothing to compare

The General Room, The Great Room, Workbuddy, Level3, CoQoons, The Workshop, CoCRE8, WeWork, Ucommune, Co., MOX, The Common Ground, The Executive Centre and ClubCo returned no rate on any page that loaded in September 2026. Four of those did not resolve at all.

Sending every enquiry through a tour booking is a deliberate choice in this category, and it is the reason a straight price comparison across Singapore coworking has been hard to find. Five operators out of twenty is what the published record supports.

Coworking in Singapore: quick questions

How much is a hot desk in Singapore?

Between $165 and $450 a month among operators that publish a rate. SERVCORP starts at $165, Work Central charges S$230, The Hive Lavender starts at $275, Distrii sits around $350, and One&Co charges $450 on its standard plan or $700 for 24/7 access.

Is a day pass cheaper than a monthly membership?

Up to about eight days a month, yes. One&Co's $55 day pass beats its $450 month until day nine. The Hive Lavender's $30 pass crosses over at ten days. Distrii's $45 to $60 pass crosses earliest, between six and eight days.

What does a day pass cost in Singapore?

$30 at The Hive Lavender, $45 to $60 at Distrii, and $55 at One&Co, which also sells hours at $8. One&Co's day pass covers 9am to 6pm rather than a full 24 hours.

How much is a virtual office in Singapore?

S$20 a month at Work Central for business registration and mail, $100 at One&Co, and from $220 at SERVCORP, where it is sold with reception and call handling attached. That eleven-fold spread is the widest of any tier here.

What is the difference between a hot desk and a dedicated desk?

A hot desk is any free seat on the day; a dedicated desk is the same seat every day, so personal items can stay. The step costs S$120 more a month at Work Central, $250 at The Hive Lavender and $400 at One&Co.

How much is a private office for a small team?

One&Co lists $2,400 a month for two people, which is $1,200 a head, and $7,200 for six, which is $1,200 a head again. The Hive Lavender starts at $825 per person, Distrii at around $1,200 for a single-person office, and SERVCORP at $1,750.

Why do so few coworking spaces publish prices?

Fourteen of the twenty read here publish none, routing enquiries through a tour or a quote instead. Rates move with location and occupancy, and a space that fills up would rather requote than advertise a number it has to keep honouring.

Do published rates include meeting rooms?

Not usually. SERVCORP prices meeting rooms separately from $102 an hour, and Distrii states that meeting room time, lockers and mail handling all cost extra on top of a membership.
