Most Tulsa freelancers start at the kitchen table or a corner booth at a coffee shop. It feels free. Then the $6 lattes, the dropped Wi-Fi calls, and the “can I sit here another hour” guilt start piling up. At some point the real question isn’t whether you can afford a coworking membership. It’s whether you can keep affording not to have one.
Catalyst Coworking’s $77/month Coworking Pass in Midtown Tulsa was built to answer that question directly. Here’s what it covers, what it saves you, and how to know if it’s the right fit before you sign up.
The Real Price of “Free” Workspace
Working from home sounds cheap until the line between your job and your life disappears. The laundry pile is visible on every video call. The dog barks during your 2pm with a client. By 3pm you’ve refilled your coffee four times and written maybe 600 words.
Coffee shops solve some of that, but they bring their own bill. You buy a drink every couple of hours just to justify the table, the Wi-Fi drops mid-call at the worst possible moment, and the guy at the next table is on speakerphone.
What a Coffee Shop Actually Costs You Each Month
Do the math on two coffee-shop sessions a day, five days a week, and you land somewhere between $150 and $250 a month in drinks and snacks alone. That’s before you count the meetings that ran long because the espresso machine was too loud to hear the client, or the afternoon you lost when the Wi-Fi cut out during a file upload.
“I tracked my expenses and realized I was spending over $180 a month on coffee just to use public Wi-Fi. Switching to Catalyst’s $77 tier gave me better internet, free coffee, and saved me over $100 a month.”
— David M., Tulsa Freelancer

What $77 a Month Actually Gets You
An affordable coworking Tulsa membership isn’t just a chair with a nicer view. Here’s what’s included in the $77 Coworking Pass at Catalyst’s Midtown location:
- Full access to the open coworking space during business hours
- Cox Fiber Wi-Fi, fast enough for video calls and large file uploads
- On-site coffee from Brice’s Coffee, no $6-a-cup guilt tax
- Access to the food truck area for lunch breaks
- Community events and networking mixers
- A fully tax-deductible business expense
That last point matters more than people think. Home office deductions get complicated fast. A coworking membership is a straightforward line item your accountant will thank you for.
How the Pass Pays for Itself
You don’t need to show up five days a week to make $77 worth it. Use the space two days a week for your most focused work blocks, and the membership already beats what you’d spend on coffee alone.
Here’s where it really earns its keep: client meetings. Working from home makes it hard to host anyone. As a Catalyst member, you can book a soundproof meeting room by the hour, sized for 4 to 10 people. If landing one $500 project a month depends on meeting a client somewhere professional instead of a noisy café table, the $77 pays for itself before you’ve even used the desk.
The Part That’s Easy to Miss: Community
Working alone all day means missing the hallway conversation that turns into a referral, or the person two desks over who’s already solved the problem you’re stuck on.
Catalyst runs a mentorship program connecting members with experienced Green Country business owners, plus regular events built for small businesses growing past the solo stage. Want proof it works? Read another member’s story of what changed after they made the switch.

FAQ
Is the $77 Coworking Pass tax-deductible?
Yes. Coworking memberships count as a direct business expense, so the full $77 is deductible the same way a traditional office lease would be.
What’s the difference between the Coworking Pass and Premium?
Both give you the open workspace and Wi-Fi. Premium ($177/mo) adds 24/7 keyless building access and priority booking on meeting rooms, so it fits people who work outside standard business hours.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. Every Catalyst membership, including the $77 pass, runs month-to-month.
Can I book a meeting room with the $77 pass?
Yes. Coworking Pass members can book meeting rooms by the hour. Premium and Designated Desk members get priority scheduling on top of that.
How fast is the Wi-Fi?
Catalyst runs on Cox Fiber, built to handle video calls, screen shares, and large file uploads without the drops you get on public coffee-shop networks.
What if I outgrow the open workspace?
You can move up to a Designated Desk, or into a private office starting at $300/mo, without switching locations or losing your business address.
Ready to Trade the Coffee Shop for a Real Workspace?
You don’t have to choose between staying on budget and working somewhere that actually helps you get things done. The $77 Coworking Pass gets you fiber internet, a professional space to meet clients, and a community that’s building something too, for less than most people spend on coffee.
