KisiFit vs Verkada Access Control

KisiFit combines hardware and software for access control and security at gyms, studios, and other fitness and wellness facilities. Members can enter using phones or badges without a front desk, and operators can grant or revoke access remotely. Fitness CRM connections can automate entry according to membership tiers, payments, and schedules. The system can also connect security cameras to detect tailgating and send real-time alerts. Kiosk Pro supports check-ins, bookings, day passes, free trials, and promotions, depending on setup. Access logs and real-time insights support audits and decisions about staffing, opening hours, and space use. Plans start at $99/mo per location, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Base starts at $99 per month, Standard at $149, Pro at $199, and Elite at $299 per location. The quoted price includes 24/7 support, a five-year hardware warranty, and over-the-air updates; installation is not included. Controller Pro 2 is the only necessary hardware, while access credentials are optional.
