Choose Envoy when

Choose EVA Check-in when

EVA Check-in fit considerations

  • Budget comparisons should account for add-on and SMS bundle costs which are billed separately per site or per bundle

  • Pricing is published per site and can include multiple add-ons; total cost depends on chosen add-ons and site count
