Why people look past Dockwa
Nothing on the record flags a reason to move. Dockwa publishes its pricing. People still switch over fit and workflow, and those are not things a catalogue entry can measure, which is what the comparisons below are for.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry; Softwr hosts no reviews of these products. How each figure is used is set out on the Dockwa badges page.
What you would be giving up
Dockwa is most often brought in for a transient-heavy marina on a popular cruising route wanting booking demand as well as software, a harbour replacing a paper ledger and phone-based reservation process, a yacht club managing seasonal contracts and renewals alongside visitor dockage, a marina group standardising slip assignment and occupancy reporting across sites. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Dockwa is broadly right and the question is cost, the Dockwa pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Maritime category lists everything the directory holds, and best maritime tools ranks them.
Dockwa runs on web, ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
