Criteria scores
Scores are calculated consistently from published vendor information, product evidence and review sources.
This is a directory scoring model based on public vendor pages, review data, and visible product signals. It is designed to make differences easier to scan, not to declare a universal winner.
| Factor | Greetly | SwipedOn | Buyer meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer fit / positioning | Positioned as an integrated workplace platform combining visitor management with employee sign-in, desk/room booking, time & attendance and safety workflows. | Positioned primarily as a cloud-first visitor management system focused on branded check-ins, digital NDAs/waivers, and messaging integrations. | Choose SwipedOn when you want a broader workplace platform (visitor + employee sign-in + desk/room booking + safety). Choose Greetly when your priority is a focused, branded visitor check‑in experience with digital forms/NDAs and streamlined host notifications |
| Deployment complexity and onboarding | Described as self-serve with published tiers and free 15‑day trial (no credit card). | Described as guided-setup; public materials emphasise easy setup but pricing approach/trial not published. | If you prefer try-before-you-buy and self-serve rollout at scale, SwipedOn signals lower friction. If you expect vendor-guided onboarding for initial setup, Greetly signals hands-on support. |
| Hardware support and staff sign-in options | Supports kiosks (iPad/Android), badge printing (Brother QL), and an RFID Tap reader for staff sign-in; hardware treated as optional add-ons. | Supports kiosks/tablet and QR/touchless check‑ins; badge printing supported but specific printer models not highlighted in the pair data. | If RFID staff sign-in via vendor-provided Tap reader or explicit Brother QL compatibility matters, SwipedOn has clearer published signals. If you need standard kiosk and QR workflows with badge printing but no RFID, Greetly aligns. |
| Visitor journey / workflows and feature breadth | Broad feature set including approvals, ID scanning, pre-registration, host notifications, delivery logging, desk/room booking, scheduling, and companion mobile app; advanced features mapped to higher tiers. | Focused check-in workflows, multilingual support, branded greetings, digital NDAs/waivers, forms and host notifications across multiple channels; fewer platform-wide workplace features listed. | Choose SwipedOn if you need unified visitor+employee+space workflows. Choose Greetly if you prioritise flexible sign-in forms, NDA capture, simple branded experiences, and host notifications. |
| Contractor management and inductions | Mentions contractor onboarding and credentialing workflows as part of the workplace platform. | Mentions contractor and delivery tracking but fewer published signals about complex contractor induction workflows. | For detailed contractor induction, credentialing and lifecycle management across sites, SwipedOn appears to publish broader signals; Greetly suits basic contractor check-in and tracking. |
| Evacuation and mustering | Explicit live evacuation roll-call and multi-device mustering tied to real-time presence data. | Evacuation tracking and emergency logs are provided (searchable logs and tracking signals) but fewer published signals about live multi‑device roll calls. | If live, multi-device evacuation roll calls and mustering are critical, SwipedOn has clearer published capabilities. Greetly supports evacuation tracking suitable for roll-call exports and emergency lists. |
| Access control / directory integrations | Published integrations include Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, APIs, webhooks and noted access-control integrations; Tap reader reduces some access‑control API dependency. | Published integrations include Azure AD and Google Workspace plus Zapier and API; fewer explicit access-control brand integrations noted in the pair data. | When deep access-control brand integrations or a Tap-based staff sign-in alternative are desired, SwipedOn signals broader support. When directory sync and workplace-notification integrations are the main need, both vendors support Azure AD/Google Workspace. |
| Pricing posture and transparency | Public per-site annual pricing with named Core, Enhanced, Pro tiers and sample add-ons; 15‑day free trial no credit card. | Public Essential and Pro plans with annual billing; vendor states no hidden fees but trial/free access not published in the pair data. | If transparent, published per-site tiered pricing and a free trial are important for procurement and proof-of-concept, SwipedOn provides clearer signals. Greetly provides published monthly/annual plan prices but less evidence of a trial. |
