People searching for a Smartwaiver alternative are usually doing one of two things: paying for a waiver product and wondering whether they still need it, or shopping for their first one. What waiver software is for It turns a paper form into one a guest signs on a screen, keeps the signature, and lets you find it again in July when somebody asks. Smartwaiver is a mature version of that. Looking at it on 22 September 2026: plans priced by how many waivers you take in a month, ready-made templates for the usual activities including bike rental, and a kiosk mode so a tablet on the counter keeps working when the wifi does not. A price list is exactly the kind of thing that moves, so read theirs rather than a number in a blog post. If a signature is all you need, that is a finished product and this page is not trying to talk you out of it. The two things you hand over A hire is a signature and a day. The guest signs, and then asks where to go, and a waiver product has nothing to say about that because it was never the job. So the counter runs two speeches: the clipboard, and then a point out the door at a river. The second one is the one your guests remember, and it is the one nobody has written down. You sold the bike is that minute at the counter. One scan, if it suits you Freewheel puts both on the same code. The guest scans, reads your words, signs, and then picks from the tours you published. The wording stays yours, and you can export the records when an insurer asks. On the free plan that is one hundred signatures a month, which is a number printed on the plan rather than a soft limit, and the tour beside it is free too. The paid plan carries more of both. That is the only reason to put a waiver and a tour together. If the tour is not part of your hire, a waiver product is a cleaner answer than a tour product with a signature bolted on. When to keep the one you have If you rent kayaks and run climbing and hire bikes, one waiver covering every activity you sell is the right shape, and this is not it. Freewheel signs for the bike. If your booking system already takes a signature before the guest arrives, keep that too. The gap it leaves is the walk-in who never opened the email, and a counter still needs a way to sign that person while they are standing there. The fields either of them needs are in the waiver template, and the hire rules that are not the waiver are in terms and conditions.
