TL;DR — aReception.ai vs Eptura

Eptura = 8 products in one suite. Eptura is the merger of Condeco (rooms), iOffice (desks), Proxyclick (visitors), ManagerPlus (maintenance), SpaceIQ and others into a Worktech platform. Reception is one small module inside the bundle.
aReception.ai is purpose-built. We do one thing: replace the receptionist with an AI avatar. No desk booking, no room scheduling, no maintenance module — just a world-class front-desk experience.
AI vs form-fill. Eptura Visitor uses tablet-based digital forms. aReception.ai speaks to visitors in 50+ languages via a live AI avatar on Zebra kiosks.
Pricing transparency. aReception.ai: 33 £/Mon (Portal) to £425/mo (Premium), published on our pricing page. Eptura: custom-quote, bundled with Worktech modules you may not need.
EU vs US. Eptura is US-headquartered (Atlanta). aReception.ai is EU-based (Czech Republic) with EU-only data residency by default.

Where Eptura is stronger

We don’t believe in vendor smear. Eptura is a serious product and in these areas they are genuinely ahead — worth knowing before you decide.

All-in-one Worktech platform — one vendor, one login, one bill for visitors, desks, rooms, maintenance, space planning
Deep integration with corporate real-estate data — useful if facility management is a strategic priority
Strong mid-market and enterprise presence across US and EMEA (inherited from Condeco, iOffice, Proxyclick)
Mature facility maintenance and space-utilisation analytics (iOffice / SpaceIQ heritage)
Large partner and reseller network with local-language support in multiple markets

Wo Reception.ai gewinnt

Drei entscheidende Unterschiede, die für britische Unternehmen bei der Wahl eines Besuchermanagementsystems im Jahr 2026 wichtig sind.

Specialist beats generalist at reception

Eptura Visitor is one of eight modules competing for roadmap attention. aReception.ai is one product — AI reception — that we obsess over every day. When visitor management is the difference between a polished first impression and an embarrassing queue at reception, specialisation wins.

Pay for what you use, nothing else

Eptura bundles push customers toward Worktech pricing even when they only need visitors. aReception.ai publishes Portal at 33 £/Monat, Basic at £169, Premium at £425 — clear tiers, no hidden seats, no bundle pressure. If you already have a desk-booking tool you like, keep it.

EU-native for UK & European procurement

Eptura is US-headquartered (Atlanta, Georgia). aReception.ai is Czech-based with EU-only data residency, UK DPA 2018-aligned, and a short sub-processor chain. For UK public sector, financial services, and GDPR-strict enterprises, that removes an entire tier of diligence.

Wann man was wählt

Wählen Sie Reception.ai, wenn…

You want a best-in-class AI receptionist and already have separate tools for desk booking, meeting rooms, and maintenance — or don’t need them at all.

Pick Eptura if…

You want one vendor for your entire workplace tech stack — visitors + desks + rooms + maintenance + space planning — and are willing to pay bundle pricing for the convenience.

FAQ — Eptura alternative questions

What is Eptura, and how is it different from Proxyclick?

Eptura is the Worktech suite that resulted from the merger of Condeco, iOffice, Proxyclick, ManagerPlus, SpaceIQ, and other tools. Proxyclick Visitor is now the “Eptura Visitor” module within that suite. From a buyer’s perspective, Eptura is one vendor pitching all 8 products; if you only need one (visitors), you’re still negotiating against a bundle.

Can I buy Eptura Visitor without the rest of the Worktech bundle?

Officially yes, but in practice Eptura’s commercial motion pushes customers toward bundle pricing, and stand-alone Visitor quotes often end up at similar totals to 2-3 modules combined. Many customers who wanted reception-only have moved to specialist tools like aReception.ai for clearer scope and pricing.

Does aReception.ai integrate with desk/room booking tools?

Yes. Our approach is to be best-in-class at reception and integrate with whatever desk/room tools you already use — Condeco, Robin, OfficeRnD, Envoy Rooms, Microsoft Outlook / Teams rooms, and custom booking systems via webhook. We don’t force you to rip-and-replace your existing stack.

How does Eptura’s data handling compare with aReception.ai for UK GDPR compliance?

Eptura is US-headquartered in Atlanta, processing data across a US-centric cloud infrastructure with optional EU regions. For UK DPA 2018 and Schrems II scrutiny, that typically means extra procurement diligence around sub-processors and international transfers. aReception.ai is an EU company (Czech Republic), EU-only data residency by default, short sub-processor list — designed for UK and EU compliance workloads without retrofitting.
