| Access control & integrations | Mentions access cards and audit trails but deployment & integrations not published; no stated integrations with physical access control systems (PACS). | No explicit access card or PACS integration mentioned; deployment & integrations not published. | If integration with existing PACS or issuing/activating access credentials is required, both vendors need to confirm supported integrations and integration methods (API, relay, S2, etc.). |
| Pricing posture | Free trial available; ongoing free access not published and detailed pricing is missing. | Pricing mentions $100 (context not specified); no published tiers or details. | Neither vendor provides full transparent pricing here—Inside provides a price hint but scope (per kiosk, per month, per location) must be confirmed. |
