How Reskyr compares with the vendors you've been quoted.
The established vendors build for career departments with full-time administrative staff and price per seat. Station Boss targets volunteer departments and prices by incident volume and headcount. Reskyr is one flat rate per department, so every member gets a login and a busy year costs exactly the same as a quiet one.

Many departments pair their records system with a separate alerting app. Active911 lists $60 a year per user for departments under 50 users. For a 40-member department that is $2,400 a year on top of the records software. Reskyr's push alerts to every member's phone are included at every tier.
