SiteSafe vs Envoy vs SwipedOn vs Paper Logs
By the SiteSafe team · 3 min read
If you’re responsible for keeping track of visitors at a construction site, warehouse, or office, you’ve probably looked at a few options. The big names — Envoy and SwipedOn — look polished, but they come with premium pricing and sales calls. On the other end, there’s the clipboard. It’s cheap, but it’s a liability.
We built SiteSafe to land right in the middle: all the features of the enterprise tools, at a flat $49/month, with no sales calls ever.

The real difference
Envoy and SwipedOn are solid products — but they target enterprises with compliance departments and big budgets. That’s why they charge per site, per feature, and per visitor. They also require demos and sales calls.
SiteSafe was built for the rest of us. You can sign up in 60 seconds, add unlimited sites, and start checking in visitors immediately. No salesperson will ever call you. And at $49/month, you can put a tablet at every entrance without thinking about the bill.
