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.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis)

  • Implementation is a one to two year project with data conversion and chart of accounts redesign, and the professional services cost regularly exceeds the software cost in the first years.
  • Nothing is published, and pricing varies substantially between jurisdictions of similar size, so buyers should compare quotes with peer authorities and cooperative contract pricing rather than negotiate blind.
  • Tyler is steering customers from perpetual on-premise licences to cloud subscription, which converts a capital purchase into a recurring operating cost that many jurisdictions have not budgeted for over a ten year horizon.
  • The user experience is generational and module-dependent, with parts of the system still reflecting older design, so occasional users such as departmental approvers need repeated training.
  • Tyler has acquired heavily and its product portfolio overlaps, so a jurisdiction can find itself running two Tyler products that do similar things with an integration between them rather than one coherent system.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

MyRec.com: How is MyRec priced?

A single annual fee calculated from your department annual revenue, using a calculator on the MyRec site. Third parties report entry around 2,850 to 3,445 USD a year.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Is Munis still a product?

Yes, sold as Tyler Enterprise ERP. Users and job adverts still say Munis, and Tyler continues to use the name alongside the new one.

MyRec.com: Is there a setup fee?

No. Site build, onboarding and training are included in the annual fee.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): What does it cost?

Not published. Licence is quoted by modules, users and population, and implementation is separate. Ask peer jurisdictions of similar size for their contract, which is generally a public record.

MyRec.com: Are card fees included?

No. Credit card processing is separate and you arrange your own merchant account.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Can we stay on-premise?

Tyler is directing new business to its cloud offering. Existing on-premise customers are being encouraged to migrate, so model the subscription cost before assuming the old licensing continues indefinitely.

MyRec.com: Is there a contract?

No long-term contract is required, which is unusual in municipal software.

Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis): Why not use a commercial ERP?

Fund accounting, encumbrances, GASB reporting and state-specific payroll rules are the reason. Corporate ERP requires heavy customisation to satisfy a government audit.
