  • Budget comparisons should account for add-on and SMS bundle costs which are billed separately per site or per bundle
  • Enterprise or very large site counts may require custom pricing and multi-site onboarding fees

  • Enterprise-scale or bespoke integrations and multi-site discounts require engagement with EVA (Enterprise listed as Custom POA).
  • Total cost per site after selecting required add-ons (geofence, inductions, Premium Kiosk, API)

InstaCheckin fit considerations

  • Limited reporting and data-sharing/customization
  • Check-in controls and completion screen less optimal for high-volume traffic
