For a startup in Atlanta with a budget under $500/month per person, I’d focus on coworking memberships or shared desks rather than private offices (private suites often start above that). Here are some good fits:
WeWork

Space Area Approx. cost fit Why it’s startup-friendly
Atlanta Tech Village - Buckhead Buckhead Likely near budget for shared memberships; private offices can exceed budget One of Atlanta’s strongest founder communities, with startup events, networking, and investor/founder density.
Alkaloid Networks Community Coworking Old Fourth Ward Often a strong value option Independent, community-oriented space near the BeltLine; good for founders who want connections without a corporate feel.

GSU-affiliated incubator, very low cost
Here's a good spread of startup-friendly options in Atlanta that land under $500/person/month:
Atlanta Tech Village (Buckhead) — the city's biggest startup hub. Hot desks run around $300/month, and you're surrounded by other founders, mentors, and investors, which is a real perk if you're fundraising or hiring.
Silhouette WorkHub (Midtown) — flexible short-term leases with team-friendly pricing, right in the Peachtree corridor near a MARTA stop. Reviewers specifically call it out as an affordable Midtown pick.
Terminus Hub (Downtown) — hot desks in the South Downtown startup cluster, gigabit internet, free parking, two blocks from MARTA. Small but well-reviewed.
CreateATL (Westside) — more laid-back, coffee-shop-attached space near the Beltline. Good if you want a creative, less corporate vibe.

Perplexity
Atlanta is a favorable market for a lean startup: flexible office and coworking options commonly fall below your $500-per-person monthly ceiling, especially for a 2–10 person team. Current market listings put the typical flexible-office desk around $375/month, with much of the market between $249 and $499.
