The self-hosted Envoy alternative
Visitora — Self-Hosted Visitor Sign-In & Evacuation List — Self-hosted visitor sign-in: a kiosk your visitors use themselves, and one page that answers who is still inside when the alarm goes off — offline if it has to. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Envoy every month.
Stop renting Envoy
1 month of Envoy equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The published Visitors Premium tier, per location, on the annual commitment — the cheapest way to buy the paid product. A free Basic tier exists and is the honest starting point for a single quiet reception. Visitora is $79 once, for any number of visitors.
How Envoy pricing grows with you
Envoy meters by LOCATION and by product: Visitors is its own line, and Response, Reservations, Screens and Deliveries each carry their own per-user, per-resource or per-device fee on top.

Who should stay with Envoy
Stay with Envoy if you want the wider workplace platform — desk booking, room screens, deliveries — under one roof. Visitora does the sign-in book and the evacuation list, and nothing else. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Envoy
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Envoy's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Visitora — Self-Hosted Visitor Sign-In & Evacuation List vs Envoy comparison.
