Comparison

WaiverDrop vs Smartwaiver

Unlimited waivers at a flat rate vs volume-capped plans with escalating prices.

Smartwaiver is one of the most established digital waiver platforms with 17,000+ organizations and 250 million waivers signed. They offer native kiosk apps, 33+ integrations, and SOC 2 compliance. But their monthly pricing starts at $25/month for just 100 waivers, scaling up to $250/month for 2,500 waivers (lower with annual billing). If you need a straightforward, affordable waiver solution without volume caps, WaiverDrop is a better fit.
