SwipedOn alternative for simple check-in

A free SwipedOn alternative for a smaller visitor workflow

SwipedOn became part of a broader workplace platform. MemberMaker takes the opposite approach: a no-subscription check-in app for small organizations that need a clean guest list instead of workplace operations software.

The market has changed

Compare against the current Sign In App platform—not an old SwipedOn page

Brand and plan changes make it especially important to verify current terms while keeping the product comparison focused on real requirements.

SwipedOn now points to Sign In App

As checked July 27, 2026, SwipedOn's former public plan-comparison URL redirects to Sign In App. Buyers should verify which current Sign In App package and contract applies.

The current platform does much more

Sign In App promotes visitor and employee sign-in, notifications, pre-registration, safety, evacuations, integrations, compliance, and workplace tools.

MemberMaker solves the smaller job

Use MemberMaker for guided guest details, repeat attendance, and CSV export when you do not need the wider workplace platform.

Subscription cost

No MemberMaker subscription versus a current site plan

There is no reliable separate SwipedOn price table at its former URL, so this comparison does not present stale legacy pricing as current.

SwipedOnSee current platform

The former SwipedOn plan URL now redirects to Sign In App rather than presenting a separate plan table.

Side-by-side

A guest-list app versus a connected workplace platform

MemberMaker is less expensive because it intentionally leaves the workplace, security, and staff workflows to products designed for them.

Switch carefully

Protect every workflow before simplifying

An existing SwipedOn deployment may support more than the visitor screen people see at the front desk.

  1. Confirm which product you use todayIdentify whether an existing contract, account, or kiosk still carries SwipedOn branding or has moved into Sign In App.
  2. Inventory active workflowsList notifications, employee sign-in, agreements, evacuation, badges, QR, and integrations before considering a smaller tool.
  3. Pilot one MemberMaker stationTest guest contact capture and repeat visits at a low-risk gathering using a supported device.
  4. Export and reviewConfirm that the CSV contains the contact information your follow-up process needs.

An honest fit check

Choose MemberMaker only when a guest list is enough

The products overlap at check-in but differ sharply after a visitor submits their details.

MemberMaker is right for

  • A paper guestbook or clipboard is the current system
  • Visitor contact capture is the primary outcome
  • Repeat attendance matters more than workplace presence
  • No badge, notification, agreement, or evacuation requirement
  • A small team wants no recurring software subscription

Choose the broader platform when you need

  • Visitor and employee sign-in in one platform
  • Host alerts through email, SMS, chat, or mobile tools
  • Agreements, photos, badges, screening, or approvals
  • Emergency roll calls and evacuation workflows
  • Multiple sites, integrations, and centralized administration

Common questions

Free SwipedOn alternative FAQ

What is a free alternative to SwipedOn?

MemberMaker is a free SwipedOn alternative for organizations that only need visitor contact capture, repeat visit records, and CSV export. It does not replace workplace notifications, compliance, badge, or emergency features.

Is SwipedOn now Sign In App?

SwipedOn's former public plan-comparison URL redirected to Sign In App when checked July 27, 2026. Existing customers should confirm their exact product, contract, and migration status with the vendor.

How much does the current Sign In App platform cost?

The Receptionist, now Sign In App, advertised a US Core plan at $630 per site per year on July 27, 2026, with higher Enhanced and Pro tiers. Current pricing and the plan applicable to a former SwipedOn account should be verified directly.

Does MemberMaker send host notifications?

No. MemberMaker records visitor details and visits but does not maintain an employee directory or automatically notify a host.

Can I move visitor contacts into another tool?

MemberMaker exports visitor names, email addresses, and phone numbers to CSV for use in an approved spreadsheet, mailing tool, or follow-up workflow.

Can MemberMaker create a custom form instead of using a fixed SwipedOn flow?

Yes. MemberMaker lets staff create, order, preview, and publish custom prompts, then apply a form to one kiosk or every organization kiosk. Its scope remains narrower than Sign In App's workplace and safety platform.
