SwipedOn is a well-known visitor and contractor sign-in product. Front Desk covers the same core job — kiosk sign-in, badges, policies and host alerts — in any browser, with monthly or lifetime pricing.
Sites that want tablet visitor sign-in similar to SwipedOn, but prefer not to install a native app or commit to an annual-only plan. Front Desk is aimed at small offices, schools, clinics and coworking spaces that need a clear visitor log and host notifications.
Because Front Desk is web-based, you can use the hardware you already have: iPad, Android, Fire tablet, Chromebook or a spare laptop. Open the kiosk link in a browser; no app store required.
