| Buyer fit (primary use cases) | Positioned for sites that prioritise biometric-backed identity and integration with Mantra biometric devices and access control. | Positioned for multi-location workplaces, reception-lite sites and organisations needing contactless/QR/mobile check-in, contractor compliance and geofencing attendance. | If biometric identity (finger/IRIS templates, vendor device ecosystem) is a core requirement, Mantra aligns more naturally. If you need cloud-first, mobile/QR workflows, contractor inductions, and multi-site management with public pricing tiers, Teamgo is more |
|---|
| Deployment & hosting disclosures | Cloud-enabled product but public pages do not publish data residency, hosting regions or explicit cloud provider details. | Cloud-hosted on AWS with stated regional hosting options for Australia, UK or US (public pages list AWS Australia and options). | Teamgo gives clearer public signals about cloud provider and regional hosting options; Mantra buyers should plan to request hosting-region specifics and SLAs during procurement. |
|---|
| Hardware & identity verification | Biometric-first with vendor hardware alignment (Mantra biometric devices) and AES-256 biometric template encryption describes; kiosk option available. | Kiosk-first with free iPad/Android kiosk apps, smartphone Teamgo Pass, QR posters, photo capture and optional FaceID; hardware is optional and widely device-flexible. | Choose Mantra when you want integrated vendor-certified biometric scanners. Choose Teamgo when you want flexible tablet kiosks, mobile app check-in, and optional facial recognition without vendor-locked hardware. |
|---|
| Visitor journey & workflow customisation | Supports pre-registration, QR e-pass generation, badge printing, host notifications, overstay alerts, history search and standard visitor lifecycle flows. | Supports pre-registration, custom workflows per visitor type, forms/signatures/documents, QR check-in, smartphone pass, watch/deny lists, and extensive workflow customisation including contractor inductions. | Teamgo offers more documented workflow depth and specialised forms/induction capabilities; Mantra covers essential lifecycle features with a stronger biometric focus. |
|---|
| Contractor management | Contractor management capabilities are not detailed on published pages. | Explicit contractor compliance workflows: document requests, inductions, expiry monitoring and contractor-focused features. | If contractor inductions, compliance tracking and expiry monitoring are required, Teamgo provides documented functionality; Mantra’s offering requires direct clarification. |
|---|
| Evacuation & emergency roll-call | Emergency evacuation reporting is explicitly stated as a built-in feature. | Emergency activation, evacuation mode and on-site reporting are explicitly stated and supported with real-time lists. | Both vendors publish evacuation/roll-call capability; evaluate integration with your fire/evacuation procedures and verify real-time accuracy and testing plans. |
|---|
| Access control integration | Explicitly positioned to integrate with access control systems and Mantra biometric devices. | Integrations are documented (Azure/AD, calendar systems, badge printers) though SCIM/API depth should be validated; access control integrations are supported but specifics vary by deployment. | Mantra emphasizes tight alignment with access control via its biometric hardware. Teamgo offers broader cloud integration options—choose based on whether deep hardware-driven access control integration or cloud-directory/calendar integrations are priority. |
|---|
| Pricing posture | Custom, quote-based pricing (no published tiered plans). | Public fixed-tier pricing (Essential $29, Advance $99, Complete $199 per month) plus enterprise quoting and 30-day free trial. | Teamgo allows rapid budget estimation from published tiers; Mantra requires vendor engagement for pricing and total cost of ownership (especially when hardware is involved). |
