Which Platform Is Suitable
Right Platform By Situation
Select the scenario that describes your organisation
Under 200 people, one or two offices. Vizitor's Premium plan covers badge printing, host alerts, custom branding, visitor photos, OTP verification, and multi-location management from $72/month. Works on any iPad or Android tablet. Self-serve setup most teams are live in under 30 minutes.
Start Free TrialArchie's Starter at $109/month offers unlimited check-ins and a clean interface. But visitor photos, custom branding, SMS alerts, analytics, and Slack integration are all gated behind the Pro tier at $185/month. For an SMB that needs those features from day one, the realistic comparison is $72/month Vizitor versus $185/month Archie. Both platforms support Android and iOS.
200–600 people, 2–8 offices, hybrid working. Visitors, space management, room scheduling, mailroom management, attendance tracking, queue management, ticketing management, and contractor management in one system not eight disconnected tools. Vizitor's all-in-one platform covers all of this natively, with live occupancy data shared across modules.
Explore VizitorArchie works well at this scale if your office is invested in Kisi, Brivo, or Salto for access control, or runs workflows in Microsoft Teams or Slack triggered by visitor arrivals. The 40+ native integrations are a real differentiator. If those integrations are central to how your office operates, Archie's Pro tier at $185/month may be worth the cost. If they are not, you are paying for integration depth you will not use.
Vizitor's Enterprise plan supports unlimited locations from a centralised admin dashboard, with role-based access, evacuation management, watchlist screening, API and webhook access, and dedicated support. For organisations with standard compliance needs GDPR, data privacy, audit trails.
Talk to an ExpertIf your organisation requires deep integration between visitor management and physical access control automatic temporary door credentials at check-in, audit trails tied to Kisi, Brivo, or Salto logs, or WiFi credential provisioning for visitors Archie's native access control integrations have a longer track record. For coworking or multi-tenant buildings where visitor access must be directly coupled to door systems, Archie is worth evaluating alongside Vizitor.
Vizitor is widely used in healthcare and education. Touchless check-in, visitor photo capture, digital consent forms, instant host notification, real-time building visibility. Important: If you require a signed HIPAA BAA, verify directly with Vizitor's team.
Talk to Us About Your RequirementsArchie is used in healthcare and education settings, particularly where NDA signing, custom visitor flows, and access control integrations (Kisi, Brivo, Salto) are important and the organisation has dedicated IT or facilities teams. Archie's Pro plan setup is handled by their onboarding team an advantage for organisations that prefer guided implementation over self-serve.

"We evaluated Vizitor against Archie. Archie is the stronger choice for deep access control integration and coworking operations we don't have those requirements. Vizitor covers visitor management, space management, room scheduling, attendance tracking, mailroom management, queue management, ticketing management, and contractor management in one platform, on our existing Android or iOS tablets. Archie's Pro plan where visitor photos, custom branding, SMS alerts, SSO, and Slack unlock is $185/month per location. Vizitor's Premium covers everything we need at $72/month, with monthly billing and no lock-in. No credit card required to start a free trial."
Yes. Archie explicitly supports both iPad and Android tablets confirmed in product documentation and multiple independent reviews. Both Vizitor and Archie are hardware-flexible. This is a meaningful point of difference from Envoy and Proxyclick, both of which are iPad-only.
Yes for most organisations. Vizitor covers visitor management, space management, room scheduling, attendance tracking, mailroom management, queue management, ticketing management, and contractor management in one platform. Archie does not offer queue management and its attendance tracking requires verification. Archie is genuinely stronger for integrations 40+ native connections including Kisi, Brivo, Salto, Slack, Teams, Google Calendar and for coworking management, where Vizitor has no equivalent module. For most standard offices, Vizitor's lower price and faster setup make it the stronger starting point.
