Choose Visitly when

  • Procurement requires SOC 2 / ISO 27001 artifacts and IT requires SSO/SCIM without premium tier gating
  • SSO and core security features included at lower tiers (described differentiation vs Envoy)
  • One product/one contract approach contrasted with iLobby module stacking
  • Buy when you need enterprise-grade identity integration (SSO/SCIM) and compliance evidence in one visitor-management product
  • Visitly publishes contractor management in contractor management.

Choose WorkInSync when

  • A single vendor to manage desk booking, visitor flows, parking and workplace analytics across multiple sites.
  • SAML/SCIM and AD integration plus enterprise compliance certifications are required.
  • Bundled workplace platform combining visitor management with desk/meeting/parking and kiosks (not a stand-alone visitor-only product).
  • Published per-user pricing with both monthly and annual options and explicit feature mapping per tier.
  • Enterprises seeking a unified workplace platform (booking + visitor + parking + analytics)

Visitly fit considerations

  • Limited reporting customization
  • Occasional iPad/app lag or disconnects
  • Slow or delayed support responses across time zones
  • Returning-visitor sign-in can be slow
  • Administrative/customization options less flexible than desired

WorkInSync fit considerations

  • If visitor volumes are large but licensed user counts are low, per-user pricing may be suboptimal relative to visitor- or kiosk-based models.
  • Hardware (kiosks, sensors, tablets) is not included in plans and requires separate procurement and integration effort.
  • Pricing is per-user which can be costly for visitor-heavy organisations where many guests do not count as licensed users; hardware (kiosks, sensors, tablets) is billed separately per the pricing FAQ.
  • Some advanced capabilities (custom dashboards, integrations, sensor management) are gated to Enterprise tier, requiring higher per-user spend for large deployments.
  • Total cost for visitor-heavy sites when licensing is per-user vs visitor-based pricing
