Key differences

Factor	SwipedOn	VisitUs	Buyer meaning
Buyer fit / positioning	Positions as cloud-first VMS with emphasis on evacuation-first workflows, pre-registration and multi-region hosting; signals strong fit for multi-site evacuation and simple self-serve pilots.	Positions as an integrated workplace platform that combines visitor management, employee sign-in, desk/room booking and safety; signals strong fit where unified workplace features and bookings are required.	Choose VisitUs if primary need is a focused visitor/evacuation-first system with a low-friction free plan for pilot use. Choose SwipedOn if you need a broader workplace platform (visitor + employee presence + spaces) and consolidated operations across bookings
Deployment & hosting	Advertises selectable hosting regions (Australia, US, EU) and self-serve cloud deployment.	Cloud-based, self-serve deployment; public pages do not list selectable hosting regions explicitly.	If contractual data residency matters, VisitUs signals selectable regional hosting on product pages; SwipedOn buyers should confirm regional hosting guarantees with vendor or sales.
Pricing posture	Publishes an ongoing free forever plan and a 7-day trial; indicates location-based pricing but no full public tier table shown.	Publishes clear per-site annual pricing tiers (Core/Enhanced/Pro) and itemised add-ons; offers a 15-day trial.	VisitUs enables very low-risk initial trials and a free baseline for small deployments. SwipedOn requires selecting a paid per-site tier for production and provides clearer price levels and add-on structure for budgeting.
Hardware & optional peripherals	Kiosk-capable (tablet) and optional hardware; badge printing supported but limited published printer models.	Kiosk-capable (iPad/Android) with secure kiosk mode; explicitly lists supported Brother QL thermal printers and an RFID Tap reader accessory.	If you need vendor-documented badge printer compatibility or an RFID staff sign-in option, SwipedOn provides more explicit hardware guidance and accessory options.
Visitor journey and identity verification	Supports tablet/web/QR sign-in, pre-registration, calendar invites, QR directions, inductions, safety videos, photo capture and facial recognition/ID capture signals.	Supports kiosk/web/QR/mobile sign-in, pre-registration, approvals, photo capture and published ID scanning/screening capabilities tied to certain plan tiers.	Both support rich visitor journeys; VisitUs advertises facial recognition / ID capture explicitly; SwipedOn ties advanced ID and screening features to Enhanced/Pro tiers — buyers should map the required identity checks to the correct plan.
Contractor management and inductions	Signals contractor workflows, inductions, signed digital documents and compliance tracking.	Published contractor/induction workflows and supports approvals, watchlists and credentialing; contractor features exist alongside broader workforce presence tools.	If contractor induction is focused within a visitor/contractor product, VisitUs is strong; if contractor workflows must tie into employee presence, bookings and access workflows, SwipedOn may better integrate those use cases.
Evacuation & mustering	Provides live dashboard evacuation roll calls, mobile 'I am safe' confirmations, SMS alerts and time-stamped reports.	Publishes live evacuation roll calls built from real-time sign-in data, multi-device coordination, offline kiosk support and audit-ready reports.	Both vendors offer evacuation roll-call capabilities; SwipedOn explicitly references offline kiosk support and multi-device coordination, which may be important for sites with intermittent connectivity.
Access control & integrations	Provides API, webhooks, SSO and directory integration including Microsoft AD/Entra and Teams notifications.	Broad integration surface: Entra ID/Azure AD, Google Workspace, Teams, Slack, Outlook, webhooks, REST API and published SCIM/SSO support; also documented access-control integrations signal.	Both integrate with corporate directories and messaging. SwipedOn lists a wider integration surface and documented access-control integrations; buyers with complex identity/SCIM/HRIS requirements should map needed integrations to SwipedOn’s published list and

SwipedOn fit considerations

If lowest-cost single-feature visitor kiosks are the sole need, full platform capabilities and add-on pricing should be compared to single-purpose kiosk vendors
Limited reporting and customization
Integration limitations with some legacy systems
SwipedOn Pocket geofencing reliability issues
Mobile app / Apple-device limitations noted

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
