A simple Smartwaiver alternative for small businesses
Smartwaiver is a well-established digital waiver platform used by many studios, gyms, and rental businesses. It recently changed its subscription prices, so some small businesses are taking a fresh look at their options. This page lays out the publicly listed prices for a few popular tools side by side, explains where WaiverGo fits, and is honest about where other tools may suit you better.
WaiverGo is in early access and coming soon. Our angle is simple: one flat price of $12/month or $99/year, unlimited waivers with no usage fees, and a free import of the waiver you already use.

Price changes are a normal part of running a software business, and Smartwaiver’s plans include a broad set of features. If you are happy with what you have, staying put may be the right call. If you are reviewing costs anyway, it helps to compare what you actually use against what you pay for.
Where other tools may be a better fit
We want this comparison to be useful, so here is the honest version. Waiver.com’s Starter plan, at $9/month for unlimited waivers at one location, is cheaper than WaiverGo. If lowest price is your only criterion, it is worth a look.
Smartwaiver also offers features WaiverGo does not, such as dedicated kiosk apps and integrations with other software. If your front desk depends on a kiosk app, or you need waivers to sync automatically with a booking or CRM system, a fuller platform like Smartwaiver may serve you better.
Where WaiverGo fits
WaiverGo is built for small businesses that want waivers to be simple and predictable:
- One flat price: $12/month flat or $99/year. Unlimited waivers. No usage fees or per-signature charges.
- Free import: send us your current waiver as a PDF or text once early access opens, and we’ll set it up for you.
- Simple sharing: customers sign on their own phone from a link or QR code.
- Searchable records: signed copies are stored and searchable, with downloadable signed PDFs.
You supply your own waiver text. WaiverGo is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
How to switch without starting over
Switching waiver tools does not have to mean rewriting your form. Export or save a copy of your current waiver text, join the WaiverGo early-access list, and send us the document when early access opens. We set it up with your wording and business name, and you can start sharing your new link or QR code.
Keep copies of waivers already signed in your previous tool. Most platforms let you download signed PDFs, and it is wise to keep those records according to your own retention needs and your attorney’s advice.
