Why Companies Look Beyond Envoy

Envoy Visitors is one of the most well-known visitor management solutions, particularly popular with tech companies and co-working spaces. It's a solid product with great design. But as organizations grow and their security needs evolve, many find that Envoy's approach — simple check-in focused — doesn't cover the full picture.

Where Envoy Excels

Let's be fair about what Envoy does well:

  • Beautiful design: Clean, modern interface that looks great in a tech office lobby
  • Integrations: Strong Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications
  • Ease of setup: Very fast to get started with basic check-in
  • Brand recognition: Well-known in the enterprise SaaS space

    • Where KyberAccess Fills the Gap

    The differences become clear when you need more than basic check-in:

    Pricing Comparison

    Envoy's pricing starts at approximately $99/location/month for basic features, but quickly escalates to $299-599/location/month for features like ID verification and custom workflows.

    KyberAccess offers:

  • Free: Unlimited visitors, basic check-in, QR codes
  • Pro: $399/month or $4,200/year — includes everything (ID scanning, background checks, badges, evacuation, analytics, API access)
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing for multi-location deployments

    • Making the Switch

    Migration from Envoy to KyberAccess is straightforward:

  • Sign up for a free KyberAccess account
  • Import your visitor data via CSV
  • Configure your kiosk branding (takes 5 minutes)
  • Set up your badge printer (auto-configured from model selection)
  • Deploy to your iPad kiosks

    • Most organizations complete the switch in under a day.
