Key differences

FactorGreetlyVisitUsBuyer meaning
Free / trial accessNo ongoing free-forever tier published; public pricing shows paid Essential and Pro yearly plans.Publishes a free-forever Core plan (no credit card) and 7-day trials for premium modules; paid plans are location-based but not fully tiered publicly.VisitUs reduces evaluation friction and pilot cost with a genuine free plan and short trials; Greetly requires engaging a paid plan for production testing or relies on vendor sales for trials.
Regional hosting / data residencyNo regional hosting options published on product pages; regional hosting not specified.Publishes selectable hosting regions (Australia, US, EU described) and references ISO/IEC 27001 alignment for some offerings.Buyers with strict data residency requirements are more likely to find VisitUs’ stated regional hosting relevant; Greetly buyers should treat data residency as an open procurement question.
Security & compliance signalsExplicit SOC 2 and GDPR compliance statements; explicitly disclaims HIPAA/PHI use.describes ISO/IEC 27001 alignment and describes encryption practices; public level described as alignment rather than a directly published certificate in product pages.Greetly presents strong SOC 2/GDPR describes useful for EU/US privacy expectations; VisitUs highlights ISO-style alignment and encryption details that may suit buyers prioritising ISO controls—ask for certification scope and artefacts to compare equivalently.
Evacuation and emergency workflowsProvides emergency evacuation tracking and visitor lists; evacuation support not detailed in comparisonEvidence fields.Publishes mobile roll calls, 'I am safe' confirmations, SMS alerts and time-stamped evacuation reports with live dashboards.VisitUs advertises more explicit evacuation-first features, which is likely better for organisations where roll-call and emergency communications are mission-critical.
Contractor management and inductionsSupports contractor tracking and digital NDAs/waivers; flagged as useful but detailed contractor induction workflow depth not published.Public pages include contractor sign-in, induction workflows, safety videos, and configurable compliance steps.VisitUs appears to publish more structured contractor/induction capabilities; Greetly supports contractor tracking but buyers needing rich induction processes should probe Greetly’s workflow configurability and reporting for contractors.
Identity verification and ID captureNo published facial recognition or explicit ID-capture capabilities; visitor photo capture and timestamps included in logs.Publishes visitor/contractor sign-in records plus facial recognition and photo/ID capture capabilities.If photo capture or facial/ID verification is required, VisitUs documents those signals; Greetly provides photos for logs but does not advertise facial recognition or ID capture publicly.
Integrations and developer accessIntegrations with Azure AD, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, Google Chat, email, SMS, voice calls, API and Zapier are published; directory sync highlighted.Publishes REST API, real-time webhooks, SSO and directory integration including Active Directory/Entra ID and Teams.Both support directory sync and host notifications; VisitUs emphasizes API/webhooks and modular integrations useful for automation-heavy environments while Greetly emphasizes standard SaaS integrations and directory sync for workspace tools.
Pricing posture and transparencyShows two public paid plans (Essential, Pro) billed yearly and states 'no extra charges' on site; pricing approach detail per-location/modules not emphasised.Declares a modular, location-based pricing approach with free core tier; public pages do not list full paid tiers or per-module costs but focus on per-location licensing.VisitUs’ modular/location model may be more cost-flexible for multi-site deployments but requires a pricing conversation; Greetly publishes two paid tiers that may simplify budgeting if features align.

Choose Greetly when

  • SOC 2 and GDPR-aligned vendor statements and prefer publicly documented paid plan tiers for budgeting.
  • Your primary needs are directory sync (Azure AD/Google Workspace) plus host notifications via workplace chat tools with badge printing and NDA/waiver capture at check-in.
  • Rapid, touchless check-in is central to the visitor experience.
  • Visitor records, badges, forms, and host alerts should be managed together.
  • The organization already uses Azure AD, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, or the listed connectivity options.

Choose VisitUs when

  • Clear evacuation-first features (mobile roll-call, 'I am safe' confirmations) and multi-region hosting options.
  • A free-forever plan to pilot at low cost or prefer a modular, location-based pricing approach for multi-site rollouts, and need facial/photo ID capture or contractor induction modules.
  • Strong evacuation workflows plus a low-friction free trial to validate operations.
  • Pre-registration, multi-site reporting and Teams/AD integration.
  • Ongoing free forever plan combined with evacuation-first feature set

Greetly fit considerations

  • Healthcare use cases involving PHI conflict with the product's explicit HIPAA limitation.
  • Organizations should align the product's visitor and notification workflows with their emergency and access procedures.
  • The supplied evidence emphasizes visitor management rather than native mobile apps or a specific access-control platform.
  • Healthcare workflows involving PHI are a poor fit because the supplied NDA page explicitly excludes HIPAA compliance and PHI storage.
  • Organizations with complex emergency or access-control processes should evaluate how Greetly fits those operating procedures.

VisitUs fit considerations

  • Badge/label layout and field customization limits
  • Limited integrations
  • Reception check-in is primarily designed around tablet
  • Advanced configuration can be restrictive for complex requirements
  • Compare per-location pricing and module add-on costs vs alternatives

What appears similar

  • Both vendors support cloud-based tablet and QR/touchless check-ins, optional kiosk hardware, integration with Microsoft Teams for host notifications, and mobile iOS/Android coverage — buyers should evaluate host-notification latency and mobile app experience during pilots.
  • Both present multi-site reporting and exportable, time-stamped visitor logs suitable for audits, but VisitUs highlights evacuation reports explicitly.

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?
