wakesys vs Smartwaiver
wakesys vs Smartwaiver:
Booking + waivers in one
Smartwaiver does waivers. You still need a booking system. wakesys gives you both, with POS, all in one: one vendor, one system, one price.
With Smartwaiver you run two systems, pay two bills, and rely on an integration to match each signed waiver to a booking. In wakesys, guests sign as part of the booking, straight after they pay, so there is nothing to match.

Why operators choose wakesys over Smartwaiver
What changes for your guests, your front desk and your bills.
One system instead of two
Stop paying for separate booking and waiver systems. wakesys includes waivers in the booking flow. Guests book and sign in one go.
Group waivers that work
Birthday party host books, shares a link. Each parent claims their kids and signs their waivers. Real-time status shows who's done. Smartwaiver doesn't sell tickets, so there is nothing for a parent to claim.
True pre-arrival experience
With wakesys, guests go from payment straight to claiming their tickets and signing, before they leave home. Across tens of thousands of checked-in tickets, 93% had a signed waiver before arrival.[2]
Mobile-first everything
60-second booking on phones, with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and the waiver signed on the same phone in the same flow.
Better value
Smartwaiver starts at $22/month for up to 100 signed waivers, and the price climbs with your volume: 1,000 a month is $160. On wakesys booking, waivers and POS come in one price, and your first 12 months are free.[1]

Smartwaiver is a standalone digital waiver tool. wakesys is one platform for activity parks with booking, waivers and POS, so each guest's waiver is tied to their named ticket. If you only need waivers and love your booking system, Smartwaiver fits.
Two reasons: simplicity and cost. Instead of paying for Smartwaiver plus a booking system plus potentially a POS, you get everything in wakesys. Nothing needs integrating because it's all one system, and guests sign straight after they pay, in the same flow.
Smartwaiver starts at $22/month for up to 100 signed waivers, and the price climbs with your volume: a park collecting 1,000 a month pays $160/month for waivers alone. Plus you need a booking system on top. On wakesys your first 12 months are free, then it's 2% of what you take, dropping to 1% above $250,000 a year. Booking, waivers and POS are all in that price.
