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 | MyLobby | VisitUs | Buyer meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buyer fit emphasis | VisitUs emphasises evacuation-first, multi-site enterprises and integrations with Microsoft ecosystem (Teams, AD). | MyLobby emphasises mobile-first, contactless/QR workflows, health screening and vendor-assisted onboarding. | Choose VisitUs when evacuation workflows, multi-region hosting options and Microsoft directory/messaging integrations are primary. Choose MyLobby when contactless/QR-first check-in, health screening workflows and vendor-led onboarding are higher priority. |
| Deployment model & onboarding | Described as cloud-based with quick self-serve setup that customers can start using rapidly (self-serve orientation). | Described as guided/vendor-assisted onboarding with support/orientation calls and vendor help for questionnaire setup (guided setup). | If you want a low-touch trial and fast self-implementation, VisitUs is better aligned. If you prefer vendor-run onboarding and phone support to configure workflows, MyLobby aligns better. |
| Pricing posture & transparency | Publishes an ongoing free forever plan and mentions 7-day trials of premium modules; describes location-based paid plans but not full public tiers. | Publishes free trials and a 90-day money-back guarantee but no public list prices; pricing presented as custom-quote. | VisitUs gives a clearer low-friction entry (free forever) for pilots and small sites. MyLobby requires vendor engagement to understand licensing and total cost, which may be preferable when negotiating bundled hardware/services. |
| Regional hosting & compliance positioning | States selectable hosting regions (Australia, US, EU) and alignment with ISO/IEC 27001 is described on product pages. | No regional hosting or data residency details published on supplied pages. | For regulated workloads requiring explicit data residency or ISO-aligned contracts, VisitUs presents stronger initial signals; MyLobby will require direct clarification. |
| Evacuation & mustering features | Explicitly details real-time evacuation roll call, 'I Am Safe' confirmations, mobile roll calls, SMS alerts and time-stamped evacuation reports. | States real-time dashboard and reports of who is in the building to support roll calls and emergency visibility (conceptual evacuation support). | Both provide evacuation functionality; VisitUs presents more specific evacuation features in public pages, which may reduce pilot testing scope for emergency workflows. |
| Identity verification & ID capture | Public pages list photo capture / ID capture and facial recognition signals. | Describes ID scanning, QR and manual entry but integration/biometric describes are less prominent in provided material. | If automated biometric or photo-based identity verification is required, VisitUs shows stronger public describes; validate exact ID/document types with either vendor if critical. |
| Hardware options & kiosk posture | Kiosk usage described as optional; sign-in primarily orientated around tablet, mobile and QR. | Publishes an industrial Android kiosk (Android 11) with hardware specs and peripheral compatibility and positions a no-hardware QR mode as well. | If you plan a managed kiosk deployment with documented hardware specifications, MyLobby provides clearer hardware details. If you prefer tablet/QR-first with optional kiosk, VisitUs is acceptable. |
| Contractor management & inductions | Mentions contractor induction, pre-registration, digital document signing and compliance tracking as documented capabilities. | References contractor self-service check-in and compliance screening in supplied material but with less depth on document-signing specifics. | Both support contractor workflows; VisitUs publishes more explicit detail on signed compliance documents and pre-registration, which may matter for regulated contractor onboarding. |
