Industrious review
Its premium amenities earn customer praise but it’s not up front about rates or fees.
Industrious — previously known as Industrious Office — boasts a nationwide network of over 100 coworking spaces featuring free breakfasts, 24/7 office access and unlimited printing. But there’s a signup fee when you register and you’ll have to contact an Industrious rep for membership rates.

Costs
Industrious offers six workspace service tiers. All tiers come with Wi-Fi and 24/7 building access.
Its most basic plan is the Oasis package: a private office space designed for part-time use. From there, monthly costs and amenities scale up to the top tier of Industrious’ offerings: the Canvas tier for teams seeking a customized office suite and unified brand identity.
Industrious doesn’t offer information about its rates or fees on its website, so we had to reach out for more information. The rep we spoke to stated that rates are location-specific, but offered the current rates available in Seattle, Washington.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Month-to-month memberships. Most of Industrious’ membership tiers are available on a month-to-month basis.

- Plenty of amenities. Free coffee, breakfast, beverages and snacks are available daily.
- Commitment discounts. While not required, you can opt into a two-month agreement for a 5% rate discount or a 12-month agreement for a 10% rate discount.
Cons
- Signup fee. In addition to your first month’s payment, Industrious charges an added 150% of this payment as a signup fee.
- Not upfront about fees. We had to reach out to customer support for information about fees as Industrious doesn’t provide this information on its website.

Bottom line
Industrious’s 100 coworking locations feature 24/7 building access, free breakfasts, on-site support staff and multiple service tiers. But it’s not up front about its prices and it charges a steep signup fee.
