Smartwaiver is excellent at what it does: digital waivers. But if you're running an activity park, you need more. You need a booking system, a waiver system, and ideally a POS — and you need them all to talk to each other. With Smartwaiver, you're patching together multiple systems with integrations that break. wakesys gives you everything in one platform, built to work together from day one.

60-second booking on phones, waiver signing included. Apple Pay, Google Pay. One smooth experience, not a janky redirect to a waiver system.

Features you won't find anywhere else.
Smartwaiver only does waivers. You still need a booking system (Checkfront? FareHarbor?) and probably a POS. That's three vendors, three bills, and integration headaches. wakesys is booking, waivers, and POS in one platform that just works together.

Common questions answered.
Smartwaiver is a standalone digital waiver solution. wakesys is an all-in-one platform for activity parks that includes booking, waivers, and POS. If you only need waivers and already have a booking system you love, Smartwaiver works. If you want everything integrated, wakesys is the better choice.
Two reasons: simplicity and cost. Instead of paying for Smartwaiver plus a booking system plus potentially a POS, you get everything in wakesys. And the integration is seamless because it's all one system — waivers are signed during booking, not as a separate step guests forget.
Smartwaiver starts at $15/month but charges per-waiver fees that add up — a busy park can easily spend $100+/month on waivers alone. Plus you need a booking system on top. wakesys is free for 2026, then affordable flat-rate pricing with everything included.
