Why teams move from Envoy to Vizito
Lower, transparent pricing
Envoy’s Standard plan starts at $109/month per location and many features require the Premium or Enterprise tier. Vizito publishes all pricing on the pricing page with no hidden tiers. Most customers pay less than half of what they paid for Envoy.
European by design, ISO 27001 certified
Vizito is built in Europe, hosted in EU data centres by default and ISO 27001 certified - a certification Envoy does not hold. For organisations under GDPR, NIS2 or sector compliance, Vizito removes a lot of friction.
Set up in minutes, no IT project
Envoy’s broader workplace platform brings complexity (desks, rooms, deliveries, mailroom). Vizito is focused exclusively on visitor management, so a single tablet and a 10-minute setup will get you live - rated ‘Best Ease of Use’ on Capterra.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the best alternative to Envoy?
For European companies and organisations with GDPR or ISO 27001 requirements, Vizito is the best alternative to Envoy. It is built in Europe, hosted in EU data centres by default, ISO 27001 certified, transparently priced from €29.95/site/month and rated ‘Best Ease of Use’ on Capterra. Vizito matches Envoy on every core feature and outperforms it on compliance, pricing transparency and time-to-deploy.
-
Why do companies look for Envoy alternatives?
The most common reasons are price (Envoy starts at $109/month per location and most useful features sit behind higher tiers), data residency (Envoy is a US-headquartered platform; EU companies often prefer an EU-native provider), and scope (Envoy is a broad workplace platform - desks, rooms, mailroom - which is overkill if you only need visitor management). Vizito, Proxyclick and SwipedOn are the most frequently shortlisted alternatives.
-
Is Vizito cheaper than Envoy?
Yes. Vizito starts at €29.95 per site per month with all visitor management features included. Envoy’s Standard plan starts at $109/month per location and features like ID scanning, watchlists and SSO require Premium or Enterprise tiers. Most teams that switch to Vizito report cutting their visitor management bill by more than half.
-
How long does it take to switch from Envoy to Vizito?
Most teams are fully migrated within a single day. The steps are: export your visitor history from Envoy if you need it, configure your location in the Vizito dashboard (about 10 minutes), import your hosts from Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace, install the Vizito app on your existing iPad or Android tablet (or just print a QR code), and start signing in visitors. Our support team helps with the cutover at no extra charge.
-
Does Vizito work with the same hardware as Envoy?
Yes. Vizito runs on iPad, Android tablets, Windows kiosks and any web browser - the same hardware you used with Envoy. There is no proprietary hardware to buy, and you do not have to swap your badge printer (Brother QL-820NWB and most network label printers are supported).
-
Is Vizito GDPR compliant out of the box?
Yes. Vizito is built in Europe with GDPR/AVG as a foundational requirement. Visitor data is hosted in EU data centres by default, ISO 27001 certified, with automatic data retention, consent capture at check-in and right-to-be-forgotten processing built into the dashboard. A signed Data Processing Agreement is available.
