Summary of competition

There are different types of apps that try to find a solution for a similar problem then our:

• Co-working spaces apps: These apps are made for a person or a group to find a co-working space. You can search through them, read reviews, the amenities they have, free space etc. After that you can normally book or rent the space directly through the app. The main difference between our app and this type of website will be the scope of the places to find. While these kind of apps are really useful for finding co-working space, often times developers meet or work in cafes with a good internet connection, libraries etc.. Our potential customers are all the people that want to make up your mind of the best place to code in an area, filtering through the results based on their preferences. Also normally we have users that look up for a place just for them and not the team they will working with.

  • Features:
    • Users can search for a location, and filter the result based on what kind of service in a co-working space he's looking for.
    • Users can check for availability and book a space/service.
    • Users can add a new co-working space.
    • Users can add reviews on a co-working space.
  • Market: This kind of services partially overlap with ours niche as co-working spaces are becoming a norm for people who like/need to work outside. With this particular type of services the competition looks strong. (Several similar apps to solve the exact same problem).

• Digital nomads apps- The main app we could find is Nomadlist.com, an app specifically designed for digital nomads to find their next destination to work in. This is a great app with a lots of features and information that an user can use, but it doesn't solve the same problem. While this is a great app to find cites or countries where to be a digital nomad, and help you to connect with other nomads in the area, it's main concern is giving the user an overview of the place her/him is going to travel to. The main difference is that within our app a customer will find the cafe, library, co.working space etc.. that is right for her/him. I'm in Chang May? Let's see what are the best places where I can go and work.

  • Features:
    • Users can search for cities around the world and gather useful information on how friendly it is for a digital nomad.
    • Users can search for cities based on their preferences.
    • Users can read and leave reviews based about the city.
    • Users can look at a custom map of the cities where other users left their suggestions.
    • Users has a local chat for every city, It's pretty easy to ask question on there to other nomads for gather information.
    • Users can search for remote jobs or hire through the app.
  • Market: It seems digital nomadism as a niche is not yet fully discovered and has space to grow. As now Nomadlist.com seems the only website that offers this kind of service. There are other apps that are "nomad friendly" but none of them is "nomad centered". But it really not overlap with our app as it try to solve a different problem that us. Instead our app would work magnificently in tandem with this. It also look established and used from a good amount of users around the world.

• Workfrom.co: This app aim to solve the same problem we want to solve and it has a somehow similar list of features that we are here to implement. Look for a good place to have some work done? Check around you if there is some good co-working spaces, or cafes with a good internet connection and check the services they are offering. This app is good enough even if it looks is not possible to add/reads reviews. The description about the places looks not that good too.

  • Features:
    • Users can search for cafes, co-working spaces, or places with a fast internet connection based on their Geo-location (or a geographical location).
    • User can see the a basic list of services offered by that space. (Notice that you can't check for aviability, book or rent a place. As now 08/2019 this part looks really basic.
    • The number of features this website offers looks somehow limited, as the number of filters for the search
  • Market:This would be a direct competitor. Fortune wants that it's clear this website is not yet really well established and would be enough to build an app with some good features and a great UX to strongly enter the market. This is basically our app to beat.

Other competitors: There are also several forums, online communities blogs and vlogs about remote working and digital nomadism. Several users use this kind of channels to ask questions and find information about some places through the word of mouth.
