Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MyRec.com

  • The annual fee scales with department revenue, so a successful department pays more for the same software as its programme income grows.
  • It is built for small and mid-sized departments and lacks the permitting, aquatics and multi-facility depth a large city requires.
  • Credit card processing is explicitly excluded from the fee, so the total cost depends on a merchant agreement the department must source and negotiate itself.
  • Integration surface is thin, with no meaningful connection to municipal ERP or finance systems, meaning revenue reconciliation is a manual export.
  • The vendor is small, so there is limited third-party consulting capacity and a narrow bench for support during peak registration periods.

SafeCity

  • The vendor's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive in December 2021/January 2022 confirms Safecity is run by Red Dot Foundation, presenting itself as a community safety initiative with blog content and no commercial pricing page, product tier, or subscription anywhere on the site, consistent with a not-for-profit rather than a commercially sold product
