“From” is the lowest published per-desk asking price across that operator’s Boston centres; it is usually a one-person office or a dedicated desk. Larger offices scale roughly with headcount. “On inquiry” means the operator does not publish a rate and SquareFoot asks for it when you shortlist the space.

How to choose between them

Three things separate these operators in practice. District: location decides most of the price. Price basis: every row above is a per-desk monthly figure with furniture, internet, cleaning and reception included; a few operators add meeting-room credits or parking on top. Term: nearly all of them sign for six or twelve months with a rolling month-to-month option after, and most will do a shorter first term for a small team.

When WeWork is still the right answer

A team that needs the same badge in several cities, or an All Access style membership for people who travel, is the case WeWork was built for, and it has 10 Boston buildings to choose from. A team that sits in one place and wants the lowest cost per desk, or a quieter building, usually finds it in the table above.

How SquareFoot fits in

SquareFoot is an office brokerage and marketplace: it lists every operator above with the published prices in one place, lets you shortlist and request a tour, and a SquareFoot specialist confirms availability and the exact price with the operator. The service is free for tenants; the operator pays on signing.

Counts and prices are from SquareFoot’s live listings for Boston as of October 2026: 54 listings, 39 with a published asking price, collected from the operators’ and landlords’ own pages. Prices are per desk per month for serviced and flexible space unless stated. Written by SquareFoot; reviewed October 2026.
