FacilityOS logo

SwipedOn is easy to use and quick to deploy — but its scope is limited by design. It records who signed in and stops there.

What These Differences Mean in Practice

hand-gear-key-profile-icon-line

FacilityOS Is Easy and More Capable


SwipedOn scores slightly higher on G2 for ease of use, setup, and administration — and those scores are real. The honest framing is this: SwipedOn is optimized for simplicity because simplicity is its product. FacilityOS achieves near-identical usability scores while supporting significantly more complex operational requirements. You don't have to choose between easy and capable.

You Reach Payback Four Months Sooner


A 10-month versus 14-month ROI payback period reflects less internal effort, faster adoption, and value that accumulates across more operational areas — not just the front desk. For organizations expanding to additional sites, reaching payback sooner makes the next location easier to justify within the same budget cycle.

The Platform Keeps Pace With Your Requirements


FacilityOS scores higher on product direction. For organizations making a multi-year investment, buying from a vendor whose customers believe it's heading in the right direction matters. SwipedOn serves its market well today; FacilityOS is built to serve a more demanding one for the long term.

Hardware is Part of the Solution


FacilityOS customers rate hardware more highly and benefit from a managed approach that reduces IT burden and limits downtime, especially in operational environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

SwipedOn scores higher than FacilityOS on several G2 metrics. How do you explain that?

SwipedOn genuinely earns those scores — it's a clean, well-executed tool optimized for ease of use in straightforward environments, and its customers reflect that. FacilityOS scores comparably on usability while supporting significantly more complex operational requirements. Where FacilityOS leads is in product direction (98% vs 94%), ROI payback (10 vs 14 months), and the breadth of what the platform can do beyond visitor check-in. The right question isn't which tool is easier — it's which tool matches your operational environment.

SwipedOn goes live faster than FacilityOS. Does that matter?

SwipedOn's sub-month go-live reflects a lightweight, self-service setup. FacilityOS takes approximately one month and uses that time to configure the system to your specific environment — visitor types, compliance rules, approval workflows, and hardware deployment. For a multi-site operation with complex workflows, arriving at go-live with a properly configured system is more valuable than arriving quickly with a generic one.

We just need visitor check-in. Isn't SwipedOn the simpler, cheaper option?

If visitor check-in is genuinely the full scope of your requirement — and you're confident it will stay that way — SwipedOn is a capable and well-priced tool. The consideration worth making is whether your requirements are likely to remain that simple. Organizations in regulated industries, those managing contractors on-site, or those facing emergency preparedness obligations typically find the scope expands. FacilityOS lets you start with check-in and grow into those requirements without switching platforms.

Does FacilityOS handle emergencies differently than SwipedOn?

Substantially differently. SwipedOn has no emergency management module — it records who signed in and stops there. FacilityOS includes EmergencyOS: digital roll calls, two-way communication with everyone on-site, building sweeps, automated drill reporting, and real-time hazard alerts, all connected to your live visitor data. In a real incident at a manufacturing plant, pharmaceutical facility, or logistics hub, the difference between a visitor log and a live accountability system is not a feature comparison — it's an operational safety gap.

Can we start with FacilityOS for visitor management and expand later?

Yes. FacilityOS is designed to grow with your operational requirements. Start with VisitorOS for visitor check-in and add ContractorOS for compliance management, EmergencyOS for evacuation and drill readiness, LogisticsOS for mailroom and asset management, or SecurityOS for physical identity and access control — all within the same platform, without switching vendors or migrating data. SwipedOn's roadmap is focused on the visitor and workplace experience; FacilityOS's is focused on operational complexity.
