Envoy Visitors vs JYL Visitor

Envoy Visitors is workplace visitor-management software for handling arrivals through kiosk check-in. Visitors can be pre-registered, identified by ID scan, photographed, and issued badges; hosts can receive notifications, and emergency tools are included. The product also offers visitor analytics. Envoy lists Android, iOS, and web platforms. The free Basic plan costs nothing and is limited to 50 employees and 100 entries per month. Premium costs $362 a month, billed annually, and includes customized branding, a virtual front desk, badge printing, visitor photos, visitor analytics, and SSO and directory integrations. Envoy was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States.

JYL Visitor digitises workplace visitor check-in. Visitors can register at reception and receive a printed pass, while the employee they are visiting gets an email notification when they arrive. Its log records names, companies, hosts, and visit dates and times. Registration can include an optional photo for personalised passes, and visitors can instead scan a QR code on a smartphone to check in and out without a reception PC or tablet. Staff can export visitor lists as CSV or PDF for compliance reporting and view history and statistics in a web browser. The software runs on Windows PCs and can serve multiple reception workstations on a local network; printing badges requires a standard printer. The product page says visitor data is encrypted, stored securely locally, and automatically deleted after the statutory period. There is no free plan, but a 15-day trial is offered without a credit card. Standard costs €9/month, Advance costs €90/year, and Full costs €590 as a one-time price.
