Greetly wins on deep customization: you can tailor almost every detail, from workflows to branding. Envoy, on the other hand, emphasizes <\/span><b>ease of use, scalability, and enterprise-grade integrations.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s highly reliable across multiple sites and offers advanced compliance tools like ID verification and watchlist screening.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For larger organizations that need standardized processes, rich integrations, and security at scale, Envoy is hard to beat. But the trade-off is cost: many of Envoy\u2019s most valuable features live in its higher-tier plans, so it can get expensive compared to Greetly. Another limitation is hardware: Envoy only runs on iPads, while Greetly works on iOS, Android, and the web.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Envoy is best for mid-sized and enterprise offices that want a visitor management tool with a polished look and strong security. It\u2019s a good fit for companies with multiple locations, hybrid offices, or compliance requirements that go beyond the basics. Smaller offices can still benefit from the free or Standard plan, but may find Envoy\u2019s premium tiers overkill for simple needs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-137d296 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"137d296\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Envoy pricing<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-def7106 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"def7106\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Envoy has a Free plan with unlimited visitor sign-ins and basic host notifications.
