Choose FacilityOS when

  • Turnkey kiosk hardware, centralized contractor compliance and integrated evacuation/mustering across many sites.
  • Pre-configured iPad kiosks for hours-to-live deployments
  • Tight integration between ContractorOS and VisitorOS to auto-approve compliant contractors
  • Built-in evacuation/mustering integration across modules
  • Enterprises running multiple facilities that need audit-ready visitor and contractor records

Choose WorkInSync when

  • A single vendor to manage desk booking, visitor flows, parking and workplace analytics across multiple sites.
  • SAML/SCIM and AD integration plus enterprise compliance certifications are required.
  • Bundled workplace platform combining visitor management with desk/meeting/parking and kiosks (not a stand-alone visitor-only product).
  • Published per-user pricing with both monthly and annual options and explicit feature mapping per tier.
  • Enterprises seeking a unified workplace platform (booking + visitor + parking + analytics)

FacilityOS fit considerations

  • Deployment speed and onboarding support (turnkey kiosks vs. BYO hardware)
  • Depth of contractor compliance features and how approvals propagate to check-in
  • Emergency mustering and real-time occupancy reporting for EHS use cases
  • Available notification channels and integrations (Teams/Slack/SMS/email)
  • Proof of hosting regions and security certifications

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
