LobbyGuard: it\u2019s really good at one very specific job. If you need to screen every single person who walks into a building against government watchlists, especially in places like schools, hospitals, or government facilities, it\u2019s built for exactly that.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I\u2019ve noticed that a lot of organizations using LobbyGuard don\u2019t actually need that level of screening. They chose it because it sounded thorough, or because the dedicated kiosk hardware made it feel more secure and official. And then over time, the downsides start to show up. Kiosks need reboots. Reports are hard to customize. The interface is English-only. Integrations are limited. Pricing is hard to understand without talking to sales.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing worth mentioning is the Raptor acquisition. Raptor Technologies acquired LobbyGuard in 2019, and while the product is still supported and used in many organizations, there haven\u2019t been many visible public product updates in recent years. That doesn\u2019t automatically mean the product isn\u2019t being maintained, but from a buyer\u2019s point of view, it does raise a fair question about how much the platform is still evolving compared to newer visitor management systems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the visitor management software market has grown a lot. It\u2019s now a multi-billion-dollar market and still growing quickly, which means there are far more options than there were a few years ago. The old paper sign-in sheet is finally disappearing, and the software replacing it has gotten much better.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So in this guide, I\u2019m going to walk through the LobbyGuard alternatives that are actually worth looking at, and help you figure out which one makes the most sense depending on what you really need.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-99c5c3a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"99c5c3a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c3c1c8d\" data-id=\"c3c1c8d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7b7bd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c7b7bd0\" 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<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_LobbyGuard\"><\/span>What is LobbyGuard?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fd0a61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7fd0a61\" 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;\">LobbyGuard is a visitor management system built for places that care a lot about knowing who is in the building, why they are there, and whether they should be allowed in at all. LobbyGuard\u2019s own product positioning leans heavily into self-service kiosks, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/solutions\/visitor-badge-system\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">badge printing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ID scanning, watchlists, host notifications, and emergency visibility, which makes it feel closer to a security and compliance tool than a lightweight guest welcome app.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That distinction matters. Plenty of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/best-visitor-management-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visitor management tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are designed mainly to create a smooth office experience: pre-register a guest, send a welcome email, alert the host, and move on. LobbyGuard comes from a different tradition. It grew up in environments like schools, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/industry\/government\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">government facilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/industry\/healthcare\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthcare sites<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and other buildings where visitor management is not just about convenience. That is why its feature set puts so much weight on kiosk hardware, identity capture, screening, and badge-based visibility.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A big part of LobbyGuard\u2019s identity is its hardware-first approach. The product is especially known for its self-service kiosk stations, which can include a touchscreen, barcode scanner, optional passport scanner, camera, and badge printer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That hardware angle also helps explain where LobbyGuard fits best. It tends to make the most sense in buildings where security and consistency matter more than a polished, hospitality-style guest experience. A school may want every visitor screened and badged. A government office may want stronger tracking and a more controlled check-in flow. A healthcare site may need clear records and tighter oversight. In those settings, LobbyGuard\u2019s more structured approach can feel like a strength rather than friction.<\/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-bc5400f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bc5400f\" 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\">LobbyGuard acquisition<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf410c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf410c4\" 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;\">The 2019 acquisition by Raptor Technologies is an important part of that story. Raptor, best known for school safety software and particularly its strong presence in the U.S. K-12 market, acquired LobbyGuard as part of a broader push to expand its visitor management and front office capabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the deal, Raptor said LobbyGuard would continue operating as a division, with its existing team and leadership staying in place. At the same time, the acquisition clearly signaled that LobbyGuard would sit inside a much larger security-focused ecosystem rather than remain a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/visitor-management-software-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">standalone visitor management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brand.<\/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-dc53c52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dc53c52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-1024x620.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20163\" alt=\"LobbyGuard acquisition -press release.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-1024x620.png 1024w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-1536x930.png 1536w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-400x242.png 400w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition-700x424.png 700w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/LobbyGuard-acquisition.png 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Source: LobbyGuard<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\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-beb8d9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"beb8d9c\" 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;\">For LobbyGuard users, that matters in two ways. On the positive side, being part of Raptor likely gave the product more long-term stability and tied it to a company with a strong security and education focus. It also reinforced LobbyGuard\u2019s position in places where visitor management overlaps with broader safety needs, especially schools and other regulated environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, it also pushed the product identity even further toward security, screening, and institutional workflows, rather than the lighter, more brand-forward direction many workplace visitor tools have taken in recent years. That is not necessarily a drawback, but it does shape who the product feels built for.<\/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-bc200fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bc200fe\" 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<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LobbyGuard_strengths_limitations\"><\/span>LobbyGuard strengths &amp; limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c60798f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c60798f\" 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;\">The simplest way to think about LobbyGuard is this: it is not trying to be the most modern, trendy, or workplace-focused visitor app. It is trying to make the front door more controlled, more traceable, and more secure.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your main priority is security screening, kiosk check-in, badge printing, and having a very structured visitor process, LobbyGuard\u2019s approach makes a lot of sense. But if your priority is a smooth, friendly guest experience or a system that connects with the rest of your workplace tools, LobbyGuard can feel a bit rigid compared to newer visitor management alternatives.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to understand what LobbyGuard does not try to do. It is purely a visitor management system. It does not include desk booking, meeting room booking, employee scheduling, or broader workplace management features. The interface is English-only, pricing is quote-based, and there is no publicly documented API for third-party integrations. <\/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-336140b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"336140b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-1024x647.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20144\" alt=\"Lobbyguard - visitor kiosk.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-1024x647.png 1024w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-768x485.png 768w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-1536x970.png 1536w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-400x253.png 400w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk-700x442.png 700w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lobbyguard-visitor-kiosk.png 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Source: LobbyGuard<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\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-9a636cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a636cd\" 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\">Where LobbyGuard is strong<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93cc791 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93cc791\" 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;\">Even though there are not many recent reviews <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(probably because of the Raptor acquisition)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the available Capterra and G2 reviews show very consistent themes around what LobbyGuard does well.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common positive feedback is<\/span><b> ease of use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially for visitors checking in at the kiosk. More than half of the reviews mention that the check-in process is simple and easy for visitors to follow. This is important because many LobbyGuard setups are used in schools, government buildings, and facilities where visitors are not tech-savvy and the process needs to be very clear and structured.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second major strength is <\/span><b>security screening<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is really LobbyGuard\u2019s core feature and the thing that makes it different from many office-focused visitor systems. Reviews frequently mention background checks, watchlists, and sex offender screening, as well as the ability to flag certain visitors. If your organization needs formal screening and audit trails, this is one of the main reasons teams choose LobbyGuard in the first place.<\/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-de702bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"de702bf\" 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\">Where LobbyGuard struggles<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-020abbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"020abbd\" 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;\">The weaknesses are a bit more spread out, but there are a few issues that show up multiple times in reviews, and they are important because they affect day-to-day operations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest themes is <\/span><b>hardware and peripherals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. LobbyGuard is often used with a full kiosk setup that includes a badge printer, camera, and ID scanner. In theory, this is great because everything is integrated. In practice, several reviews mention printer jams, badge printing failures, ID scanning issues, and poor photo quality. These are not software problems in the traditional sense, but they still affect the visitor experience and the front desk workflow.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another repeated issue is <\/span><b>reliability and stability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some reviewers mention that the kiosk needs to be rebooted periodically, that the system does not always work consistently, or that connectivity problems can interrupt check-in. A particularly frustrating complaint is that software updates sometimes introduce new glitches, like badge printing stopping or barcode scanning failing. When that happens, and especially if you manage multiple locations, it can create a lot of extra work for administrators.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Support<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another area where feedback is very mixed. Some customers say support is excellent and very responsive, while others describe very negative experiences, especially after the initial sale. This suggests that the support experience may depend a lot on the specific situation, the contract, or the complexity of the issue. In other words, support is not consistently bad, but it is also not consistently great.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One more limitation is the<\/span><b> uncertainty around LobbyGuard\u2019s long-term product direction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. LobbyGuard was acquired by Raptor Technologies in June 2019, and while the product is still being marketed and supported on the website, the public release-note trail feels thin after that point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also some smaller but still important limitations that come up in reviews:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The system can be slow to start or slow during check-in in some cases<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signing in large groups can take too long<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reporting is not very flexible and can be hard to customize<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some admins want more control over reports and exported data<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These issues do not affect every customer, but they show up often enough to be worth paying attention to, especially if you expect heavy visitor traffic or need detailed reporting. There are also a few platform limitations that are not really \u201cbugs,\u201d but more like product decisions: no open API for easy integrations, no multi-language interface, and no public <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/visitor-management-system-price\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visitor management pricing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/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-0dfc4ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0dfc4ed\" 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\">Bottom line<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-328e62e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"328e62e\" 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;\">LobbyGuard works best for organizations that care most about control and security at the front desk.

Archie has been ranked among G2\u2019s Top Office Management Software products, placed #1 on Capterra\u2019s Visitor Management Shortlist, and received the SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint Award, which is based largely on verified customer feedback and user satisfaction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, Archie is not meant to replace LobbyGuard in highly security-focused environments like schools or healthcare facilities where thorough screening or government watchlist checks are a must.

It includes SSO, SCIM, and a fully documented open API, which makes it easier to connect with the rest of your workplace tools. Multi-language check-in is built in too, which is useful for offices with international teams or guests.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing starts at $109 per month per location for Starter and $185 per month per location for Pro, with Enterprise pricing available on request.

The product feels polished, the check-in experience is smooth, and the integration ecosystem is strong. It is built for companies that want a modern front-desk experience with a lot of enterprise-ready controls \u2014 and enterprise pricing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another big reason teams choose Envoy is its integration lineup. It connects with tools many offices already use, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Outlook, and access control systems. It also offers a deliveries product for workplaces that receive a lot of packages, which can be genuinely useful for busy offices that want better mailroom visibility.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also worth being clear about where Envoy fits compared with LobbyGuard. Envoy is more modern, easier on the eyes, and much better connected to the rest of an office tech stack. But it is not a direct replacement for LobbyGuard in highly security-focused environments that need deeper screening like government watchlists or offender registry checks. Envoy\u2019s Enterprise plan does add blocklist and ID scanning, which is a step up from basic office visitor tools, but it still serves a different use case overall. <\/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-2f56121 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2f56121\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-1024x647.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15096\" alt=\"Envoy - visitor kiosk app mockup.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-1536x970.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-400x253.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup-700x442.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Envoy-kiosk-app-mockup.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Source: Envoy<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\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-77d6116 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77d6116\" 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;\">The main trade-off is cost. Envoy can get expensive pretty quickly, especially once you move beyond the free plan and start needing the security and admin features most larger teams actually want. A lot of the more advanced controls, like blocklist scanning, guest Wi-Fi, and access control integrations, sit on the Enterprise tier, so you may need a custom quote sooner than expected.

That will tell you more than any feature list.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you sign anything, there are a few practical things to double-check:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, hardware. If you already have Android tablets, choosing a system that only works on iPad will increase your costs right away.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, integrations. Make sure the system connects directly with the tools you already use, like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Outlook, or your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/best-access-control-systems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">access control system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Native integrations are usually much more reliable than workarounds.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, pricing. Some platforms advertise a low starting price but charge extra for things like badge printing, SMS notifications, or certain integrations. Always ask what the total cost will look like for your number of locations, visitors, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/visitor-management-system-features\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visitor management features<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And fourth, support. This one is often overlooked. Before you commit, send the support team a question through chat or email and see how fast they respond and how helpful the answer is. Support quality matters a lot once the system is live and something goes wrong on a busy day.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So do not overcomplicate the decision. If you truly need deep screening and compliance features, your shortlist will be very small. If you do not, then you can focus on user experience, integrations, pricing, and how well the system fits your day-to-day operations. That is usually what makes the biggest difference in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f8a4c94 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f8a4c94\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c6b1db1\" data-id=\"c6b1db1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3aaf905 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3aaf905\" 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<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Archie_is_the_best_LobbyGuard_alternative\"><\/span>Why Archie is the best LobbyGuard alternative <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b31dc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b31dc1\" 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 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"438\">For most office-based teams, I think Archie strikes one of the best overall balances. It covers the visitor management features most companies actually need, gives you more flexibility on hardware than LobbyGuard, and makes pricing much easier to follow. It also leaves room to grow. If you decide later that you also need desk booking, meeting room scheduling, or <a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/best-hybrid-software\/\">hybrid work tools<\/a>, you do not have to go out and buy a separate platform.<\/p><p data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"905\">It has also picked up some strong industry recognition recently. Archie was ranked among G2\u2019s top office management software products, placed #1 on Capterra\u2019s Visitor Management Shortlist, and received the SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint Award. What makes those awards worth mentioning is that they are largely based on verified user reviews, so they give you a better sense of how real customers feel about the product, not just how it looks on a feature list.<\/p><p data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"1200\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">That said, Archie is not built for highly security-focused environments that need government watchlist screening or offender registry checks. But for corporate offices, professional services firms, and modern workplaces, it is often the more practical, flexible, and easier-to-roll-out option.<\/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-e725992 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e725992\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-1024x572.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15109\" alt=\"Archie visitor kiosk in use.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-1536x858.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-400x223.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use-700x391.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archieapp.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Archie-visitor-kiosk-in-use.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Source: Archie<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\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-c835031 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c835031\" 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\">Archie vs other LobbyGuard alternatives<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f5cf6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f5cf6f\" 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<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/compare\/archie-vs-envoy\"><b>Archie vs Envoy<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Envoy is a strong option for companies that want a very polished visitor experience and deep integrations, especially around access control. But it can become expensive quickly, and its kiosk setup is limited to iPads. Archie supports both iPad and Android, offers similar core visitor features, and often ends up being more cost-effective for teams that also need desk and room booking.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Archie vs SwipedOn:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SwipedOn is a great choice if you want something simple, affordable, and easy to roll out. But it is more limited when it comes to customization, analytics, enterprise features, and broader workplace tools. Archie is usually a better fit for mid-sized and larger organizations that want more flexibility, stronger reporting, SSO and SCIM, access control integrations, and a platform that can scale with them.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Archie vs Greetly:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Greetly is a strong option if your main priority is branding and a highly customized check-in experience at the front desk. Archie makes more sense if you want visitor management plus a broader workplace platform around it, with deeper integrations, more advanced controls, and a clear path into desks, rooms, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/solutions\/occupancy-analytics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">occupancy analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\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-f2ffd5c elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f2ffd5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/archieapp.co\/schedule-a-demo\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Try Archie<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-de82610 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"de82610\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-674c622\" data-id=\"674c622\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f0c882 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f0c882\" 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<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sources<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fec6da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9fec6da\" 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<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product research<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G2 &amp; Capterra reviews\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">G2 Best Office Management Software Products 2026 and scoring methodology<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Capterra 2026 Visitor Management Shortlist<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">SoftwareReviews (Info-Tech) Emotional FootPrint Overview<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 14<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Does LobbyGuard still exist after the Raptor acquisition?
