Joan vs. CONDECO
Why Joan is the #1 Condeco Alternative
Condeco has a reputation for heavy deployments, expensive contracts, and dedicated hardware that locks you in. Joan is built for speed and simplicity: wireless displays with long battery life, no drilling, no wiring, no IT overhead. You save time, reduce costs, and give your team a booking tool they’ll actually use.
Old-school systems are costing you time, not saving it.
If managing your meeting spaces feels like a second job, it’s time to switch. Here’s where outdated, over-engineered tools fall short:
Low ROI
Pricey licenses and extra fees for features you may never use.
Poor user adoption
Too many clicks, confusing interfaces, and tools your team just won’t use.
Overcomplicated setups
Lengthy implementations and bulky hardware that require IT support at every step.

Where Joan stands out from other Condeco alternatives
Smarter Scheduling, Less Chaos
With Joan your team books rooms in seconds without conflicts. No steep learning curve, no waiting on IT. By contrast, Condeco setups are often slow and harder to adopt.
No drilling, no wiring required
Wireless Joan displays install in minutes and run for months on battery power. Condeco devices, on the other hand, rely on constant wiring and heavier hardware.
Use the devices you already own
Joan works on tablets, phones or its own e-paper displays, giving you flexibility to scale with what you already have. Condeco ties you to dedicated panels that limit your options.
Works with the tools your team already uses
Native integrations with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack and Zoom keep Joan right inside your team’s daily tools. Condeco focuses on calendar connections but leaves out the broader workflows modern teams depend on.
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
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
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
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.
