Atrium vs Nexudus for Indian coworking operators

Atrium and Nexudus at a glance

Nexudus figures are as published on Nexudus's pricing page, checked 19 October 2026, in the currency shown. Atrium figures come from Atrium's own pricing page and Terms of service. Nothing in this table is converted to rupees; the worked example below converts, and says how.

Two ways of counting

Nexudus counts people at each location. Atrium counts occupied desks across the whole workspace. The two numbers are related but not the same, so compare them on your own space.

How Nexudus counts

• Per location, per month. Each location is priced on its own and invoiced on its own every month, and its active-user count is worked out separately (Nexudus's pricing help page).
• Active-user bands. On the pricing page, an active user is someone paying for a regular product or plan, or part of a team paid for by someone who is, or anyone invoiced or with a booking in the last 30 days. A person who visits or makes several transactions at one location counts once.
• Above 499, talk to sales. The page gives no price once the active-user count reaches 500.
• Tax and currency. Nexudus's pricing help page says its prices exclude VAT. Its pricing page offers US$, euros and pounds and says which you are invoiced in depends on your location.

Five of the 29 bands on the page, and its 500-plus row, as published on 19 October 2026. The US$ and € figures are the same in these five, but not in the 210 to 219 band, where the page shows US$262 and €247.

Per its page, the Nexudus plan includes all core features, all free integrations, a learning portal, the Passport members' app, training modules, kick-off training and 24/7 support via email. Extras cost more: most paid integrations are 50 a month per location, and a white-label Passport app is 150 a month for up to 5 locations.

How Atrium counts

• Occupied desks, in one total. A desk counts when a member holds it under an agreement at the month-end count on the last day of the month. An empty desk costs nothing, and in a private cabin only the let seats count.
• The band's rate applies to every desk. The total across all branches falls into one band (₹79, ₹69, ₹59 or ₹49), and every desk is charged at that rate. Bookable meeting rooms are ₹200 each, and the minimum is ₹2,499 a month. Day passes and virtual-office clients have small charges of their own (pricing page).
• Included: unlimited branches, floors, staff logins and members; WhatsApp messages (clause 5.7 of the Terms promises 60 days' notice before that changes); no set-up fee; and free migration for up to 250 desks and 100 member companies.

A worked cost example

GST and GSTR-1

This is general information, not tax advice. Ask your accountant what you need.

What Atrium does

• The place of supply is the branch. Each branch has its own address, state and GSTIN, so a desk invoice carries CGST + SGST even when the member is registered in another state.
• A SAC code on every line, with 997212 for coworking rental. Staff raise each invoice from an agreement, and the numbering continues your existing series.
• GSTR-1 as CSV files in the GST offline-tool format: B2B, B2CS, the HSN summary, documents issued, and credit notes to registered recipients. An invoice that contradicts itself is held in a needs-review list. B2CL, exports, advances and amendments are not produced, and there is no e-invoice IRN. The GST invoicing page has the detail.

What we could see on Nexudus's pages

Nexudus's pricing pages do not mention Indian GST, SAC codes or GSTR-1 (checked 19 October 2026). That does not prove it lacks them: its help centre may cover tax settings, and we have not looked beyond the pricing pages. Its prices exclude VAT, and the pricing page says you may be invoiced in US$, euros or pounds.

Ask both vendors

• An invoice to a member registered in another state, with your GSTIN on it.
• Whether each branch can carry its own GSTIN and state.
• A SAC code on each line, and which GSTR-1 tables come out, in what format.
• Whether you need an e-invoice IRN, and whether they provide one.
• For Nexudus: in which currency, and with what tax, your own subscription invoice arrives.

Member experience

Nexudus. The members' app is Passport by Nexudus, included in the plan, and a white-label version is an add-on at 150 a month for up to 5 locations.

Atrium. There is no phone app. Members use a portal in a web browser: home, book a room, my bookings, my hot desk, my invoices (with a Pay button once you connect your own Razorpay account), feedback and my profile. They sign in with a 6-digit code sent on WhatsApp. Booking confirmations, payment reminders and renewal alerts go out on WhatsApp, included in the price; the wording of each message is fixed, because Meta approves each template. Atrium sends no email.

Integrations and payments

• Nexudus says its plans include all free integrations, and its feature list names accounting and ledgers, ACH and direct debit, and access and check-in. Most paid integrations are 50 a month per location, and Nexudus notes that its pricing excludes what each provider charges you. For card payments, Razorpay, PayPal Standard, Peach Payments and direct-debit providers are free; other card gateways cost 10 a month per location plus 0.04 per transaction. Ask Nexudus for its full integrations list, because this page compares only what its pricing pages state.
• Atrium connects to your own Razorpay account, so members can pay invoices in the portal, and sends WhatsApp messages. It has no other integrations: no Tally, Zoho or QuickBooks, no Google or Outlook calendar, no door access, Wi-Fi or printer link, no Slack or Zapier, and no email or SMS. The GSTR-1 CSV files are the only export for your accountant.

Moving from Nexudus

• What Sehsaa does. You send whatever you can export. Sehsaa builds your Atrium workspace from it: branches, floors, desks on a map, member companies, agreements and unpaid invoices. It takes five working days from the day your files arrive, costs nothing for up to 250 desks and 100 member companies, and you review it before you use it. The switching page has the full list and a checklist.
• What to ask Nexudus for. We have not tested Nexudus's exports, and its pricing pages do not describe them. Pull each list you can see on screen (resources, members and companies, contracts, invoices, your floor plan) and ask Nexudus support in writing for a full account export, early.
• What does not come across, from any platform: historical bookings, invoices already settled elsewhere, stored cards and auto-charge mandates, your old visitor register, and members' old logins. Only unpaid invoices move, as opening balances.
• Keep a way back. Do not cancel Nexudus before your go-live day, and keep access to it for about 90 days. We have not read your Nexudus agreement, so check its notice and cancellation terms.

Who should stay on Nexudus

Stay, or look elsewhere, if any of these is true.

• Your members expect an app. Nexudus includes the Passport members' app. Atrium has none.
• You need integrations. Nexudus says its plans include all free integrations and lists accounting and ledgers, and access and check-in. Atrium has Razorpay and WhatsApp, and nothing for accounting, calendars or door access.
• You operate outside India, or bill in several currencies. Atrium is India only and rupees only.
• You rely on email. Atrium sends none.
• Your people are far fewer than your desks. The last row of the example shows a space where Nexudus's count of people comes out lower than Atrium's count of desks.
• You want references you can phone. Atrium has no public references yet.
• It already works. Switching costs your time even when the migration is free.

Other gaps in Atrium: no autopay (no UPI autopay, eNACH or stored card), no e-signature, no automatic recurring invoicing of members (staff raise each invoice), some set-up by request (public pages, your own WhatsApp number, a full data export), and no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certificate and no uptime commitment.

Atrium may fit if you bill in rupees, want GST invoices and GSTR-1 files from the same records, run several branches and would rather not pay for each one, and are happy for members to use a browser and WhatsApp.
