WorkInSync fit considerations

If visitor volumes are large but licensed user counts are low, per-user pricing may be suboptimal relative to visitor- or kiosk-based models.
Hardware (kiosks, sensors, tablets) is not included in plans and requires separate procurement and integration effort.
Pricing is per-user which can be costly for visitor-heavy organisations where many guests do not count as licensed users; hardware (kiosks, sensors, tablets) is billed separately per the pricing FAQ.
Some advanced capabilities (custom dashboards, integrations, sensor management) are gated to Enterprise tier, requiring higher per-user spend for large deployments.
Total cost for visitor-heavy sites when licensing is per-user vs visitor-based pricing
