Envoy is the 800-pound gorilla of visitor management. They've raised hundreds of millions in venture capital, serve major enterprises, and offer a comprehensive suite of workplace tools beyond visitor management—desk booking, room scheduling, deliveries, and more.
For Fortune 500 companies with dedicated workplace teams, Envoy makes sense. The breadth of features justifies the complexity and cost. But for smaller organizations—museums, churches, schools, community centers—Envoy is often massive overkill.
The challenge with Envoy isn't that it's bad. It's that you're paying for a platform built for enterprise needs when you might only need visitor check-in. The pricing reflects enterprise sales cycles and support expectations. The features assume dedicated IT and workplace management staff.
When organizations evaluate Envoy alternatives, they're usually looking for something that does visitor management well without the enterprise overhead. They want the core functionality—digital check-in, host notifications, visitor logs—without paying for desk booking they'll never use or navigating a platform designed for companies 100x their size.
Clerkcat is built for this middle ground. We do visitor management and do it well. No desk booking. No room scheduling. No "workplace platform" aspirations. Just effective, affordable visitor management for organizations that need professional capabilities without enterprise complexity.

Start using Clerkcat in minutes without waiting for sales calls or implementation projects.
Month-to-month pricing without long-term contracts. Pay for what you need, cancel when you want.
Museums, churches, schools, and community centers—not just corporate offices.
Envoy's pricing assumes enterprise budgets and buying processes.
If you only need visitor management, you're paying for desk booking, rooms, and more.
Getting started often requires demos, quotes, and negotiation rather than self-service signup.
Features and UX assume corporate office environments, not museums or community spaces.
Enterprise contracts often lock you in for 12+ months.
Clerkcat is the better choice if any of these apply:
Envoy is excellent for enterprises that need a complete workplace platform. But if you just need visitor management done well, Clerkcat gives you that at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
