How to choose

Which tasks should the software handle?

Start with the work your department needs to manage, such as online registration, facility reservations, payments or reporting. Compare the feature marks against those needs.

A resident portal or mobile app may matter if residents need to access services on their phones.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a tool that works on the platforms your staff and residents use. The board lists web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and API availability.

For example, ACTIVENet and MyRec.com are listed for web, iOS and Android, while CityBase is listed for web.

How should I compare prices and trial options?

Check whether pricing is listed or available on request, and compare the starting price with your budget. A stated starting price does not establish your final cost.

A free plan and a free trial are different: a plan can be used without a paid subscription, while a trial provides temporary access. Check the provider’s terms.

Does it offer an API or open-source code?

If the software needs to connect to another system, check whether it has a public API. An API is a way for software products to exchange information.

If you need to inspect or change the code, check the open-source mark and the software’s license.
