    Which Platform Is Suitable

    Right Platform By Situation

    Select the scenario that describes your organisation

    Vizitor - Recommended

    Under 200 people, one or two offices, no exotic compliance obligations. You want digital sign-in, host notifications, and a branded check-in screen. Vizitor's Business plan covers badge printing, host notifications, OTP verification, and multi-location support at a fraction of Envoy's cost.

    Self-serve setup. Most teams are live in under an hour without any complex settings.

    Start Free Trial
    Envoy - Not recommended

    Envoy's entry paid plan starts at $109/month per location. Custom branding and visitor photos sit in the Premium tier at $300–360/month per location. For an SMB with two locations that's $600–700+/month a significant overhead for basic visitor check-in.

    Also: kiosk is iPad-only. If you have Android tablets, you'd need to buy hardware before you even start.

    Vizitor - Best fit

    200–600 people, 2–8 offices, hybrid working, standard GDPR compliance. You need visitors, desk booking, room scheduling, and attendance tracking in one system not four disconnected solutions that never share data.

    Vizitor's six native modules share a single data layer, so your whole office runs from one admin dashboard at a predictable monthly price.

    Envoy - works, but expensive

    Envoy works well at this size if you already use Okta or have access control hardware (Brivo, Kisi) that needs native integration. The integration library is significantly larger. If those are hard requirements, Envoy may justify the cost.

    If they're not, you're paying for 100+ integrations you won't use, at 6× the monthly cost.

    Vizitor - Likely recommended

    Hospitals, clinics, and schools rely on Vizitor for touchless check-in, visitor photo capture, digital consent forms, instant host notification, and real-time building visibility across multiple locations with one admin login.

    Important: If you require a signed HIPAA Business Associate Agreement from software vendors, verify this directly with Vizitor's team before purchasing.

    Envoy - Possible alternative

    Envoy is also used in healthcare and education settings, particularly where access control integration (HID, Brivo) is important and the organisation has dedicated IT and facilities teams to manage a more complex setup.

    From envoy.com/pricing (April 2026): Basic is free, 100 entries/month and host notifications only. Premium is $4,344/location/year ($362/month, annual billing) where custom branding, badge printing, visitor photos, and NDAs are included. The Enterprise tier (custom pricing) is required for SSO, blocklisting, ID scanning, and emergency notifications.

    "We evaluated Vizitor and Envoy. Envoy is the stronger choice for ITAR/C-TPAT compliance and deep access control integration we don't have those requirements. Vizitor covers visitor management, desk booking, room scheduling, attendance, and queue management in one platform at a fraction of the cost. Implementation is self-serve, most teams are live in under an hour."

    No. Envoy's visitor kiosk is iPad and iOS only confirmed by multiple verified Capterra reviewers. Vizitor supports Android 10+ and iOS 11+, working on any standard tablet your team already owns.

    Yes for most organisations. Vizitor covers visitor management, desk booking, room scheduling, attendance, deliveries, and queue management in one platform. Envoy requires separate products for each of these. Envoy is genuinely stronger for ITAR/C-TPAT compliance workflows, deep enterprise integrations (Okta, access control), and SSO at the Premium tier. If those are hard requirements, Envoy is the right choice.
