PsTally vs Spacebring: which fits a console lounge?
Spacebring manages a venue: bookings, memberships, a member app. PsTally manages the thing that actually makes a console lounge money — each session on each console. It tracks PS4, PS5 and Xbox over WiFi, reconciles every shift, and reports to your WhatsApp.
Spacebring is cloud software for managing venues such as coworking spaces and game centers — bookings, memberships, payments and a member app. It is broad venue management rather than console-specific.

Is PsTally a good Spacebring alternative for a gaming lounge?
Yes. Spacebring is broad venue and game-center management built around bookings and memberships. PsTally is purpose-built for console lounges — it tracks each PS4, PS5 and Xbox session, monitors consoles over WiFi, and reports every shift to WhatsApp, with M-Pesa and cash tracking for African lounges.
Does Spacebring track individual console sessions?
Spacebring focuses on bookings and memberships rather than per-console session billing. PsTally is built around the session — every console, every game, tied to a staff shift and reconciled at close.
