Waiverly5 months of Smartwaiver costs what Waiverly costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: Basic at its lowest published price ($194 a year, about $16.17 a month billed annually) is the honest floor; volume gyms need Starter and up. Two direct reads were refused (HTTP 403 on 2026-09-03, a bot wall on 2026-09-07 and again on 2026-10-08); read on 2026-09-07 through a rendering proxy — every monthly figure unchanged, and the ANNUAL ladder recorded here for the first time, about 15% under twelve monthly payments.
Smartwaiver's Basic plan is capped at 100 signed waivers per month, so a growing business has to move up through its tiers as waiver volume increases.

If you need government-ID verification on signed waivers, stay with Smartwaiver — Waiverly records what text was signed and that it has not changed, not who the signer legally is. Waiverly can email the signer their own copy through your SMTP, off until you switch it on.
What Waiverly deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Smartwaiver.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Smartwaiver's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Waiverly vs renting comparison.
