What's the difference between Peerspace and Negotiables?

Is hourly or monthly pricing better for pop-ups?

Depends on your activation length. Peerspace's hourly model (£69-79/hr) works for 2-4 hour events but gets expensive for week-long pop-ups. Negotiables' monthly packages (£200-500) offer better value for sustained activations.
