Tenvia Coworks vs Proximity
Proximity sells software, door access and Wi-Fi from one vendor, and both products price per location. The differences are what the software side costs, what mail and events do, and whether your software choice is tied to a hardware contract.
Who Proximity is really for
Proximity is built for the operator who wants doors, Wi-Fi and software from one vendor, and for spaces that want to be part of a roaming network across the platform. The hardware is the point: door access is sold per location alongside the platform, and a member can be let in without a staff member at the desk. It has a small Canadian footprint, about nine spaces.
Side by side
| Tenvia Coworks | Proximity | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per location. The tier sets the member cap (30 / 150 / 500); staff are never counted | Per location by member band, plus access and Wi-Fi modules and hardware |
| Entry price | $95 CAD/month per location (Starter); $175 Growth; $395 Scale. Every feature on every tier | $209 USD/month per location up to 40 members, rising to $679-plus |
| Metering | People holding a plan with you, desk or mailbox. Day-pass buyers, room guests, attendees and staff never count | Member bands per location |
| Fees on your own sales | None beyond Stripe processing. ViaMeet takes 5% on a room and 3% on a ticket only when the marketplace brought the business | Card processing in Canada at 2.9% plus $0.30 |
| Door access | Door codes and printer codes on the client record, revoked when the membership ends. No hardware integration; planned | Door access $99 USD/location/month plus hardware; Wi-Fi about $59 |
| Virtual mail | Native: mailbox plans, self-service applications, recipient authorizations, scan, forward, hold, shred, per-action fees, dunning. Courier labels are manual until the courier integration ships | Notifications only |
| Multi-location | One account, every location on it. Reports are org-wide; per-site reporting and per-site staff permissions are planned | Per location |
| CAD billing | Yes. The price list is in Canadian dollars | USD pricing; about nine Canadian spaces |
Where Proximity is stronger today
- Door hardware and Wi-Fi integrated with the platform. We have neither; door codes are what ships, hardware integrations are planned
- A roaming network that lets members use other spaces on the platform. ViaMeet is our marketplace for rooms and events, not a roaming membership
- One vendor for software, access and network, one invoice to you
- Per-location pricing, the same model as ours, so the bill is predictable
Where Tenvia Coworks is stronger
- Software from $95 CAD per location against $209 USD, with mail and ticketing built in and no door hardware to buy
- Virtual mail as a product, where Proximity stops at a notification
- Ticketed events with QR check-in, attendee export and a next-day payout
- No proprietary hardware: your software choice is not tied to what is on the doors
- Priced and billed in Canadian dollars, with a generated website and your own domain included
- Unlimited staff and every feature on every tier
What reviewers say about Proximity
- “Roadmap is lacking new developments.” (Capterra)
- “User interface can be considered outdated.” (Capterra)
- Proprietary hardware “makes it very expensive to switch software later.” (Capterra)

Who should pick which
- Pick Proximity if you want doors and Wi-Fi from the same vendor as the software, the roaming network has value for your members, and you are in the US.
- Pick Tenvia Coworks if you want mail, rooms, events and billing on one CAD price, your access needs are met by codes today, and you want to choose door hardware on its own merits later.
