vs Clustermarket / Calira

LevelSixLabs vs Clustermarket / Calira

A focused equipment- and facility-booking platform (now Calira).

The problem teams run into

Clustermarket does booking well — but chemicals, SDS, COSHH and waste live somewhere else entirely. Teams end up running a booking tool alongside spreadsheets and a separate safety system, and nothing joins up.

Side by side

The capabilities labs ask about most when comparing the two.

Why teams switch to LevelSixLabs

  • Keep the booking experience you expect, but stop paying separately for inventory and safety tools.
  • Training gates and faults that actually block bookings of unsafe or untrained-for kit.
  • One compliance picture across bookings, chemicals and COSHH instead of disconnected systems.

Where Clustermarket / Calira is strong

We'd rather you choose the right tool. Here's where they genuinely lead.

  • Polished, well-established booking and scheduling experience.
  • A large installed base and integrations aimed at booking-led LabOps teams.
  • Marketplace and cross-organisation equipment-sharing features.
