VanVed vs Greetly
for Visitor Management
Why businesses choose VanVed over Greetly
The host roster is the payoff: hosts are the organization's own HR employee records, so there is no directory to upload or keep in sync, and the same people get an in-app notification and a mobile view of who is waiting for them. Greetly charges $79–$119 a month for a standalone product that still needs your employee list pushed into it.
Capability by capability
Every row below is what our 2026 research found — including the rows we lose.
| Capability | VanVed | Greetly |
|---|---|---|
| Kiosk sign-in with photo | Yes — selfie capture built into the kiosk flow | Yes, plus QR and mobile-browser sign-in |
| Host notified by SMS or phone call | No — in-app, email and webhook only | Phone call, SMS, email and Slack |
| Printed visitor badge with photo | Browser print of a pass carrying the visitor's photo and a QR code — no printer integration and no branded badge stock | Branded badges with photo on supported Brother printers |
| ID scanning | ID type and number typed in; no scan or OCR | US driving-licence scanning |
| eSigned NDA at sign-in | Not built | Included |
| Repeat-visitor recognition | Phone lookup reuses the existing visitor record instead of creating a duplicate | Yes |
| Host directory | Comes from the HR employee roster already in the tenant — nothing to sync | Uploaded or synced employee directory |
| Host-side mobile app | Flutter app shows a host their expected visitors and lets them pre-register, check in and check out | Web and kiosk focused |
| Price | Bundled with the platform | $79–$119 per month annually depending on tier |
Where Greetly is ahead of us today
Greetly beats VanVed on everything that happens at the desk itself. It calls or texts the host — VanVed cannot send SMS at all. It prints a branded badge with the visitor's photo on a supported Brother printer; VanVed's pass now carries the photo and a QR but still prints from the browser onto whatever paper is in the tray. It scans a driving licence and collects an eSigned NDA; VanVed asks someone to type an ID number and collects no documents.
We publish this because a comparison that only flatters us is worth nothing to you. If one of these gaps is the thing you actually need, Greetly may well be the better buy.
