Seatti vs Robin: A US platform with an EU option or a provider from the DACH region
Robin is a workplace platform headquartered in Boston that, by its own account, serves teams in 80 countries and lets its customers choose between a US and an EU data centre. Seatti is based in the DACH region and tailored to companies with 250 or more employees using Microsoft 365.
As of 6 October 2026. All information about Robin comes from publicly accessible sources listed at the end of this page. Details may change.
Summary
Robin is technically broad and offers an EU data centre as an option. Robin, however, does not publish list prices; Seatti does.
Seatti fits when procurement and the works council expect a provider from the DACH region with published prices and German-speaking support, and when space analytics via IP presence and signals from existing hardware at the desk is the actual reason.
Robin fits when a globally positioned company with its focus in the USA is looking for a uniform platform, when wayfinding and access control are part of the project, or when SCIM 2.0 with documented Entra ID integration is a mandatory requirement.

On the question of price
A serious price comparison is not possible here because Robin does not publish list prices. Instead of estimating, we show what this means for a procurement.
Switching from Robin to Seatti
The rollout follows Seatti's standard process. Users and groups come in via Microsoft Entra ID, spaces and booking rules are taken over.
Day 1
Kick-off and installation
Clarify goals and responsibilities, set up Seatti in the Microsoft environment, define access.
Week 1
Entra sync and spaces
Take over users and groups, recreate floor plans and booking rules, document data storage in the EU, train admins.
Week 2
Onboarding and go-live
Employees are onboarded in Teams, after which Seatti runs day to day. The legacy system stays readable until the cut-off date.
Afterwards
Set up analytics
Activate Office Intelligence, capture presence and discuss the first space analysis with Real Estate.
The works council and data protection are involved early. Whether and in what form a works agreement is needed is decided by each company itself. This process is not legal advice.
Evidence from ongoing projects
Figures from the references published by Seatti. More than 100 companies use Seatti, according to its own information.

Who fits whom
Not every company is right for Seatti. This assessment is meant to shorten the decision, not to belittle the competitor.
Frequently asked questions
The storage location is one criterion among several. For an approval, IT and data protection additionally check the data processing agreement, possible access by a parent company outside the EU, the subprocessors and the proof of certification. Have all four points given in writing by every provider, regardless of the chosen data centre.
Because Robin does not publish list prices. Figures circulating on third-party sites are not confirmed by the provider. We do not set them against our own prices here because such a comparison would be neither reliable nor fair. Our prices are openly stated on the pricing page.
That depends on your buying committee. If the works council, data protection and facility management review documents in German and ask questions in German, this noticeably shortens the path to approval. In purely English-speaking group organisations, this point is secondary.
Space structure and booking rules are recreated during the rollout, historical booking data can be imported as an export. Users and groups come in via Microsoft Entra ID and do not need to be created again.
