InstaCheckin
InstaCheckin provides an iPad self-service visitor sign-in kiosk, a cloud dashboard, and a searchable visitor log for offices, schools, and manufacturing sites. The kiosk collects visitor details through customizable fields, captures photos, and lets visitors sign NDAs or waiver forms customized to the visit purpose. It can print branded badges with fields such as host name, check-in time, and visit purpose. Hosts can receive arrival notifications by email and SMS, with preferences configurable per host. Employees can pre-register visitors in the dashboard; visitors can also be added individually or in bulk through an Excel upload. Employee contacts can likewise be imported from Excel. Analytics show daily, weekly, and monthly visitor trends across one or more locations. The free plan includes up to 50 employee contacts, unlimited visitors, one location, and email notifications. Paid plans start at $49 per month per location when billed annually; hardware is purchased separately. The listed platforms are iOS and web.
