With growing number of coworking spaces all over the world, coworking directories have become a necessity for anyone who is looking for a coworking space to work in. The potential clients looking for coworking are entrepreneurs, freelancers, travelers and anyone who wants to upgrade their work experience and is tired working from home. Coworking directories take different approaches in featuring spaces, some are showing maps focusing on the location of those spaces, others provide specific filters you can use to find your perfect space (e.g. suitable for pets, public transport accessibility and more). The filters and extra information are specifically relevant for coworking spaces as they are trying to differentiate themselves and cater for different niches. Coworking owners therefore would be wise to list themselves on as many directories as possible to make sure they receive maximum visibility to potential clients.
We sifted through a long list of coworking directories to bring you some of the best ones. All the directories are free to list on, but some of them might charge a premium for advertising your space and additional coworking space management tools.

A premier resource on all things coworking, Coworking Wiki was set up by Tara Hunt and Chris Messina. One of the main components of the project is the coworking directory, that can be edited by all space owners. The directory lists basic details of coworking spaces such as contact information, opening hours, pictures of the space and website and social media links. Apart from the directory, the Wiki has a whole page dedicated to coworking resources such as blogs and media coverage, associations and groups, coworking tools and conferences. What’s more, it also provides a list of country-specific directories (such as Coworking Spain, Espace Coworking and Cowork.ph) and global coworking directories (some of which are listed here) for reference.
One of the initiatives of Coworking Wiki that spaces and coworkers can benefit from is the Coworking Visa. It enables members of a particular coworking space to use other spaces that are part of the Coworking Visa program for free for a certain number of days (as decided by the space, though the default is three).

Copass endeavours to make global coworking hassle-free for both clients and space owners. The premise is simple: coworking spaces register themselves on the platform for free. Clients select the number of days they want to work for and the space. Once they check-in, Copass takes care of the transaction, and charges spaces 6% fees for the same. If a space charges clients on a daily basis, they ask them to provide a discount for Copassers. They also create monthly invoices for spaces and help create custom charges for add-on features. Coworking space owners can list amenities offered, rates and pictures of the space. There is also an option for clients to leave reviews of spaces they’ve been to and offer recommendations.
