Joan vs. Logitech
Why Joan is the #1 Logitech Alternative
Looking for the right solution to manage meeting rooms and workspaces? Joan and Logitech both help teams stay organized—but in different ways. Here’s how they compare, so you can choose what fits your office best.
Overcomplicated Room Management Is Costing You More Than Time
If you’re stuck with systems that frustrate users or eat into IT time, you’re not alone. Here’s what we hear most from teams using outdated or overly complex solutions:
Too complex to manage
Managing separate software, cables, and screens becomes a support headache fast.
Security and updates feel risky
Heavy dependencies on third-party hardware and cloud syncs increase security concerns and reduce agility.
Poor User Adoption
If your team avoids the system, it’s not working. Simpler is better.

Where Joan stands out from other Logitech alternatives
More than just room booking
With Joan, you can manage meeting rooms, desks, visitors, parking, and shared resources—all from a single platform.
No cables, no headaches
Joan devices are wireless, battery-powered, and install in minutes with no IT intervention. Logitech’s Tap Scheduler requires PoE, wall mounting, and AV system integration.
Use the devices you already own
Run Joan on tablets, phones, or Joan’s own e-paper displays. Logitech requires its own fixed hardware.
Smarter sustainability
Joan’s E-ink displays use 99% less energy than standard LCD screens. One charge lasts up to 6 months, and the devices ship in zero-waste packaging.
Logitech’s Tap Scheduler requires constant power via Ethernet.
Everybody knows when the room is booked or not. It’s a very clear way to say: ‘Stop! Don’t go there because someone else took the room. It was really helpful because we didn’t change the way we booked the room.
Lucio Ferranti , CEO at Energy Group
Joan is the perfect solution—sleek, wireless, and so intuitive our team started using it without any training.
Topher Ohlin , IT Admin at Planning Center
So far we have had no trouble during the onboarding process or using it. I am very pleased, so far. I also love the design. I know it is not important to the people who think that only functionality matters, but if you have functionality WITH a nice and clean design, that makes the experience so much better.
Isabela Simoes , Administrative Assistant at Master Electronics
The unique aspect of Joan is that it does not require power going to the unit; you can mount them anywhere. The battery life lasts anywhere from four to five months. Very easy to set up and does not require any user training.
Pablo Gersberg , Senior Vice President at Neumora
We wanted to make a platform where everybody could come in and see if there’s a room open that they can schedule and work out of.
Adam Fisk , Director of IT services at Tech Superpowers
Joan works with your stack. And meets your standards.
