The self-hosted Greetly alternative
Visitora — Self-hosted evacuation list for reception and site safety: one page naming everyone still inside, derived from the sign-in log and kept on the device for when the network dies. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Greetly every month.
Stop renting Greetly
1 month of Greetly equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The entry tier at the vendor's own yearly-billing rate; no month-to-month figure renders, so none is stored. Greetly does not meter people — users, check-ins and hosts are unlimited — which makes the monthly fee the whole comparison: $99 a month against Visitora at $79 once.
How Greetly pricing grows with you
Greetly charges a flat monthly fee per workplace rather than per user, and moves you up a tier for multiple locations and badge printing.

What Greetly does that we don't
Greetly is a full front-desk product: touchless check-in, multi-channel notifications across email, text, Slack, Google Chat and Teams, watchlists, and badge printing on the upper tier.

Who should stay with Greetly
Stay with Greetly if you want the iPad kiosk, badge printing and host notifications through Slack or Teams. Visitora answers one question the fire officer asks: a single page naming everyone still inside, derived from the sign-in log and kept on the device for when the network dies. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Greetly
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Greetly'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 vs Greetly comparison.
