Joan vs. Logitech
Why Joan is the #1 Logitech Alternative
Logitech builds AV hardware like the Tap Scheduler. Joan is a full workplace platform with rooms, desks, visitors and wireless displays that run for months without charging. Logitech requires cabling, constant power and AV installation. Joan installs in minutes, works wire-free and costs less to roll out and maintain.
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 Here’s what we hear most from teams using outdated or overly complex solutions: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.
Hidden risks
Third-party hardware and cloud syncs add costs and security concerns.
Poor User Adoption
If booking feels complicated, employees avoid the system altogether.

Where Joan stands out from other Logitech alternatives
More than just room booking
Logitech focuses only on meeting room panels while Joan is a full workplace platform that also covers desks, visitors, parking and shared resources in one place.
No cables, no headaches
Logitech Tap Scheduler needs PoE cabling, wall mounting and AV system integration which adds cost and complexity. Joan devices are wireless, battery powered and install in minutes without IT involvement.
Use the devices you already own
Logitech locks you into fixed hardware. Joan runs on tablets, phones or its own e paper displays so you can scale easily and avoid expensive vendor lock in.
Smarter sustainability
Joan’s e paper displays use 99% less energy than LCD screens, last up to six months on a single charge and ship in zero waste packaging. Logitech requires constant power over Ethernet which drives up both energy use and costs.
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.
