Five rows that matter
Orizn vs iVisa, the short version

| Pricing | Free forever, 10 checks/month per user, unlimited with a free API key | Lookup is free; paid service fees stack on top of government fees when you apply |
| Sign-up friction | Install + pick passport. No account required to start. | Account required for applications; lookup also pushes you toward sign-up |
| Privacy | No tracking, no resale. Passport choice stored locally. Optional account for sync. | Standard commerce site with marketing trackers and remarketing |

Editorial
Why we built Orizn differently
iVisa exists to sell you a service: their incentive is to convert a visa lookup into a paid application. That can be the right call when you genuinely want someone to do the paperwork for you.
Orizn has no application product to sell. We are not a visa broker. The only thing we want you to know is whether you need a visa, what type, what it usually costs, and where the official source lives — clearly and free.
If you decide you want a service to file your visa for you, iVisa or a local agency is the right tool. Orizn's job ends one step earlier: telling you the truth about the rules before you book the flight.

Orizn vs
Sherpa
Comprehensive travel-restriction database, sold mainly to airlines and governments — solid data, no inline browser experience.
Orizn vs
VisaList.io
Beautiful, focused visa lookup website. Great UX, but everything happens in its own tab and the deeper features sit behind a paid plan.
Orizn vs
Smartraveller (AU)
The Australian government's official travel-advice service. Authoritative for Australian passport holders, not built for general visa lookups.
Orizn vs
Passport Index
The original passport-ranking website. Beautiful maps, great for browsing — but static, with no real-time alerts or inline integration.
Orizn vs
Skyscanner's visa info
The built-in visa hint shown next to some Skyscanner routes. Useful as a nudge, but generic and limited to one site.
