Key differences

FactorJoan WorkplaceTeamgoBuyer meaning
Buyer fit (primary focus)Joan is positioned as a broader workplace management platform that combines room, desk, parking and asset booking with optional purpose-built e-ink and tablet displays; visitor management is one capability within a multi-resource suite.Teamgo is positioned primarily as a cloud-first visitor, contractor and multi-location check-in platform with a heavier focus on kiosk-driven workflows, contractor compliance and mobile/geofenced attendance.Choose Joan when you need an integrated workplace resource management platform that includes visitor flows as part of a larger booking/occupancy solution. Choose Teamgo when visitor, contractor, multi-site kiosk workflows and mobile/geofence attendance are the
Deployment and hostingService hosted in EU-based Google Cloud data centers (vendor describes) but exact hosting regions and SLAs are not published on public pages.States cloud hosting on AWS with regional hosting options (Australia, UK, United States) published.If explicit regional hosting options and stated AWS locations are required for compliance, Teamgo provides clearer published regional options. Joan may still meet regional needs but requires vendor clarification.
Hardware and kiosk strategySupports purpose-built e-ink door displays, tablets and LCD displays with optional kiosk hardware; Joan supplies or supports proprietary e-paper devices as a differentiator.Focuses on iPad and Android tablet kiosks (free kiosk apps) and unlimited kiosks per account; emphasizes offline kiosk sync and known badge-printer compatibility testing in guidance.Select Joan if you want integrated purpose-built displays (e-ink) and a unified hardware+software workplace experience. Select Teamgo if you prioritise tablet kiosks, unlimited kiosk deployments and proven tablet kiosk app behaviour/offline sync.
Visitor journey and check-in optionsSupports QR and NFC scanning, geolocation check-in, pre-registration, digital visitor logs, customizable badges and mobile/web/portal check-ins as part of broader workplace booking flows.Supports tablet kiosks, QR posters, web forms, smartphone Pass app, pre-registration, form/document capture, photo and optional FaceID, and custom workflows per visitor type.Teamgo emphasizes richer per-visitor workflow configuration and identity capture options (photos, signatures, documents, FaceID). Joan emphasizes multiple check-in methods integrated into workplace booking flows, plus e-ink badge presentation.
Contractor managementOffers simplified visitor and badge workflows; public pages mention visitor/host/delivery workflows but provide fewer explicit contractor-specific compliance features.Publishes contractor compliance workflows, inductions, document collection, expiry monitoring and attendance tracking.If contractor inductions, document retention and expiry monitoring are procurement requirements, Teamgo has clearer, explicitly published contractor management features.
Evacuation and emergency handlingPublic pages reference visitor logs and analytics but do not publish explicit evacuation/real-time roll-call features in available product pages.Publishes emergency activation/evacuation mode and real-time attendee lists for roll-call and alerts.For sites that require published, built-in evacuation roll-call and emergency alerting, Teamgo provides explicit evacuation features; Joan's public documentation appears less explicit on evacuation capabilities.
Access control and integrationsLists OAuth2, Google and Microsoft 365, SCIMv2-compatible identity providers and role-based access control; one access-control integration signal noted but detailed connector scope is not published.Publishes integrations with Azure/Active Directory automation and mentions badge printer compatibility; SCIM/API depth and calendar integration specifics are not fully detailed publicly.Both vendors list identity integrations but differ in published emphasis: Joan highlights SCIMv2 and calendar sync as part of a workplace stack; Teamgo highlights Azure/AD automation and practical kiosk/printing integrations. Buyers needing specific connector/
Pricing posturePublic pricing page shows plan structure (users and device licenses) but displayed amounts are blank and confirmed pricing requires a quote; free trial advertised.Publishes fixed monthly pricing tiers (Essential $29, Advance $99, Complete $199) and a 30-day free trial; enterprise is custom-quoted.If transparent, self-service pricing is required for early budget assessment, Teamgo's published tiers make initial cost modeling easier. Joan requires request-for-quote to get firm pricing.

Choose Joan Workplace when

  • Organisation needs unified workplace management covering rooms, desks, parking and visitor flows together.
  • Desire for purpose-built e-ink displays and a combined hardware+software workplace experience.
  • Primary buying decision weights multi-resource booking, occupancy analytics and room booking enforcement alongside visitor check-in.
  • An integrated SaaS portal for multiple workplace resources with optional hardware displays and mobile check-in capabilities.
  • Purpose-built e-ink door displays and support for mounting options alongside tablet/LCD support

Choose Teamgo when

  • Primary requirement is robust visitor/contractor workflows, multi-site kiosk deployments and explicit evacuation/roll-call tooling.
  • Need for published, tiered pricing to model costs quickly without an initial sales quote.
  • Requirement for geofencing or mobile attendance features and tablet kiosk apps with offline sync.
  • One platform must cover visitors, employees and contractors.
  • Multiple check-in modes are useful across offices, sites or mobile teams.

Joan Workplace fit considerations

  • Limited reporting customization
  • Limited reporting, analytics, and administration/customization
  • Hardware mounting, durability, and touch control concerns
  • Occasional syncing, lag, or loading issues
  • Setup/configuration can require effort for some users

Teamgo fit considerations

  • The product spans many modules, so plan selection and workflow design should be part of the evaluation.
  • Kiosk-led deployments may require operational decisions about BYO devices, mounting and printers:
  • Geofencing introduces mobile-app and location-permission dependencies:
  • The broad feature set may require careful tier and add-on selection for teams seeking a narrowly scoped reception workflow.
  • Kiosk deployments involve device, mounting and printer decisions even though the software supports BYO devices

What appears similar

  • Both support iOS and Android mobile apps and optional kiosk/tablet deployments.
  • Both offer pre-registration, badge issuance, digital visitor logs and analytics/reporting capabilities.
  • Both list identity integration capabilities (Azure/AD, Google, Microsoft) though the depth and published connector specifics differ.
  • Both provide free trials and account-level support options, although Teamgo publishes 24/7 online live chat and account manager options publicly.

Fit questions

  • Which system better matches your busiest visitor, contractor, or reception workflow?
  • Which platform fits your current workplace, identity, messaging, and access-control stack?
  • Which rollout path is easiest for your locations, support model, and budget?
