    Which Platform Is Suitable

    Right Platform By Situation

    Select the scenario that describes your organisation

    Vizitor Recommended

    Under 200 people, one or two offices. Vizitor's Premium plan at $72/month delivers all features on any iPad or Android tablet you already own. Self-serve setup most teams are live in under an hour.

    iLobby Not Recommended

    iLobby's VisitorOS starts at $199/month on annual billing with managed hardware supplied by iLobby, meaning you cannot use tablets you already own. For an SMB with straightforward check-in needs, the setup overhead and cost base are disproportionate. iLobby is built for high-security, regulated facilities; a single-office startup would pay more than twice Vizitor's price for the base product alone.

    Vizitor Recommended

    200–600 people, 2–8 offices, hybrid working. Visitors, desk booking, room scheduling, delivery management, attendance tracking, and queue management in one system not five disconnected tools. Vizitor's all-in-one platform covers all of this natively.

    iLobby Possible, If Site Security Is the Primary Requirement

    iLobby is well-suited for a growing organisation in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or industrial operations where facility security watchlist screening, ID scanning, and contractor credential management are the central requirements. If those are genuine business requirements, iLobby's Corporate tier at $199/month may be justified alongside the managed hardware cost. If site security is standard, Vizitor covers more ground at a lower total cost.

    Vizitor Recommended

    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, visitor audit trails.

    iLobby May Be the Stronger Fit

    If your organisation is subject to ITAR, C-TPAT, GMP, FSMA, SOC2, or FISMA, and requires purpose-built and audited workflows, iLobby's FacilityOS is the category leader. ContractorOS handles credential and training expiry tracking; SecurityOS issues physical access cards directly from the kiosk; EmergencyOS runs real-time evacuations with digital roll call. For defence contractors, pharmaceutical plants, airports, and government facilities with those specific requirements, iLobby warrants full evaluation.

    Vizitor Likely Recommended

    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.

    iLobby Possible Alternative

    iLobby is used in healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities where GMP compliance, contractor credential management, and strict access control are critical. For a standard clinic or school with moderate visitor volume, iLobby's $199/month entry price and managed-hardware-only approach make it a poor fit. For a large hospital or pharmaceutical plant with complex compliance obligations and a dedicated facilities team, iLobby is worth evaluating alongside Vizitor.

Hardware is managed by iLobby you cannot use your own tablets. Annual billing required across all plans. Verify at facilityos.com/pricing.

    "We evaluated Vizitor against iLobby. iLobby is the stronger choice for ITAR, C-TPAT, and GMP compliance in regulated manufacturing and government facilities its ContractorOS, EmergencyOS, and SecurityOS modules are purpose-built for that environment. We do not have those regulatory requirements. Vizitor covers visitor management, desk booking, room scheduling, attendance tracking, delivery management, and queue management in one platform at $72/month per location, on the tablets we already own, with monthly billing and no managed hardware cost. iLobby's VisitorOS starts at $199/month on annual billing with managed hardware only. No credit card required to start."

    No. iLobby / FacilityOS operates exclusively on managed iPad hardware supplied by iLobby you cannot use your own iPads or any Android tablets. An independent June 2025 product review confirms: "VisitorOS only works with their managed iPads, so you cannot use your own iPads or any Android tablets." This managed hardware model is a deliberate design choice suited to high-security, regulated facilities. Vizitor supports Android 10+ and iOS 11+ on any tablet you already own.

    Yes for most organisations, particularly where hardware flexibility, platform breadth, or budget are priorities. Vizitor covers visitor check-in, badge printing, NDA signing, OTP verification, watchlist screening, desk booking, meeting room scheduling, delivery management, attendance tracking, and queue management all in one platform from $72/month on any Android or iOS tablet. iLobby is genuinely stronger for regulated industries where ITAR, C-TPAT, GMP, FSMA, SOC2, or FISMA compliance is a hard requirement. Its ContractorOS, EmergencyOS, and SecurityOS modules cover capabilities Vizitor does not replicate.
