Room Cherry vs Evoko
Room Cherry vs Evoko compares a browser Google Calendar room display with Biamp’s Evoko hardware room booking panels (Liso and Naso). Pick Evoko if you want purpose-built wall panels, PoE install, strong status LEDs, check-in and auto-release, and a self-hosted or Biamp Workplace stack that also covers Microsoft 365 and Exchange. Pick Room Cherry if you only need live Google Calendar availability outside your meeting rooms — it runs in any modern browser on an iPad or tablet you already own, pairs with a 6-character code, and costs $10 per resource per month after a 30-day free trial.
For teams looking for an Evoko alternative for Google Calendar or a cheaper meeting room display without buying panels, Room Cherry is the software-only option. Evoko is hardware plus install; Room Cherry is a browser URL that reads Google Workspace resource calendars.

Room Cherry vs Evoko: common questions
What is the difference between Room Cherry and Evoko?
Evoko (by Biamp) is a purpose-built room booking panel — Liso and Naso — with wall/glass mounting, status LEDs, check-in, and calendar sync including Google Workspace. Room Cherry is software only: a browser Google Calendar room display at $10 per resource per month with a 30-day free trial.
Is Room Cherry cheaper than Evoko?
For door signage alone, usually yes. Room Cherry is published software pricing with no panel to buy. Evoko requires purchasing hardware per room (public list prices often around $875–$1,100+ USD) plus install and, depending on model, a software license — so CapEx is higher even when Google Calendar is supported.
Does Room Cherry replace Evoko panels?
Only if you need live Google Calendar availability on a screen you already own. Room Cherry does not ship hardware, PoE panels, proximity clock views, or Evoko’s facilities analytics and equipment reporting.
How long does setup take?
Sign in with Google, confirm which calendars are rooms, then open each room on an iPad with a link, QR code, or 6-character pair code. Most people have the first room on the wall in under ten minutes, with nothing to install.
Does Evoko support Google Calendar?
Yes. Public Biamp Evoko docs list Google Workspace alongside Microsoft 365, Exchange, and IBM Domino. Room Cherry is Google Workspace–only and runs in the browser instead of on Evoko hardware.

Room Cherry is the smaller, faster option when you want a browser URL, $10 per resource per month, a 30-day trial, and no App Store install. Choose Evoko when its broader features are the better fit.
