Choose CoReceptionist when

CoReceptionist fit considerations

  • If you require documented regional hosting or on-premises deployment guarantees, the site does not present regional hosting details

  • Pricing is published per location and tied to a contact count; larger campuses may require an enterprise custom plan (pricing page)
  • Product is presented as cloud/tablet-first (iPad/Android); organisations seeking on‑prem hosting or regional hosting guarantees will need to evaluate hosting requirements (site does not state regional hosting).
  • Per-location pricing and how 'Contacts' are counted for multi-site deployments

VAMS Global fit considerations
