### "Nothing better than Amilia"

August 6, 2026

5.0

Amilia SmartRec has completely transformed the way we manage our organization. Since implementing their software, we have been able to streamline membership management, easily track different membership types, and efficiently monitor and collect revenue. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for both our staff and members to navigate. What truly sets Amilia apart is their customer support team. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. They consistently check in, listen to feedback, and even make improvements to help us operate more effectively. Communication with our members and the community has also improved dramatically. The tools provided by SmartRec have helped us stay connected, organized, and professional in ways that were difficult before. Simply put, Amilia SmartRec has made our organization significantly better. I would recommend it 10 out of 10 times to any organization looking for a powerful, easy-to-use recreation and membership management solution. Thank you, Amilia, for being such a valuable partner in our success! 🙌

Cons

It is more of a facility problem that we have pools that switch from long course meters to short course yards. This makes it tough to schedule the facility in smartrec but the team is working on work arounds!

### "Works well but could use some improvements too!"

April 10, 2025

4.0

This streamlined a huge amount of work in allocating spaces available for programs and I would not want to return to any other system for that, but for other aspects of the program, improvements would be great.

Pros

I love how you can set a limit to the number of participants per activity and that families can see the number of spaces available or the number of participants on the waitlist.

Cons

It is difficult to customize some situations, printing the children's files is difficult, and it does not provide yearly tax receipts for families, or sign children in/out multiple times per day, though this is something we were told it would do.

[brightwheel](https://www.capterra.com/p/144060/brightwheel/)

Reason for choosing SmartRec

It allowed families to know immediately if they were registered in a program, as well as display the available spaces and waitlists; this is something that our families had been requesting for quite some time and they are very happy with it.

Procare did not allow the modifications to programs that we required; we were told we could print the same type of files as the previous system we were using (not true), we were also told it provided tax receipts, which it does not, but that registration function is wonderful.

### "Registration Software"

May 2, 2025

4.0

Our adjustment to SmartRec was fairly smooth with few hiccups. Our families were able to figure out registration with relative ease.

Pros

SmartRec allows us to automatically charge families for monthly child care costs, have immediate enrollment for programs, and generally manage our registrations.

Cons

In our area, we are required to have printed, physical copies of registration information for each participant. SmartRec does not quite provide an easy system for this documentation.

December 24, 2024

4.0

Pros

Very easy to integrate for developers. The API documentation is fairly robust. The recommendation system is also extremely useful.

Cons

The pricing model may drive away smaller businesses, and teams with limited budgets. The system is also complex especially if you're new to using smart rec.

### "Room for Improvement"

September 4, 2024

3.0

Overall, I would rate this system at 3/5 stars. Should customer service enhance, I would be inclined to raise it to 4 stars. If they manage to improve the overall experience by incorporating volunteers, implementing email features, and streamlining the scholarship award process, I would be happy to award them a 5-star rating.

Pros

I really enjoy that Adult and Youth Programs can be accessed through the same interface. It’s such a big help for organizations managing both programs at the same time. I also love the organized home page that lets you see the most recent registrations, merchandise orders, and more. Setting up programs is fast and straightforward, with everything conveniently located in one spot. Gathering data for rosters is fantastic, although the medical form feature could use some improvement.

Cons

Customer service leaves much to be desired, with wait times sometimes exceeding two hours. There is a lack of responsiveness for phone inquiries, forcing users to communicate all issues via chat. Customer service representatives often expect individuals to resolve their own problems, providing little support for recurring issues that cause frustration. They constantly point you to articles, essentially requesting you figure it out. I truly miss the exceptional customer service we received from Campminder, our previous system, which was outstanding and deserving of an A+++. In contrast, I would rate \[sensitive content hidden\] customer service as just one star. The scholarship application process is quite cumbersome, especially when students register before being awarded. Smart Rec is not ideally suited for this procedure, resulting in a complicated and multi-step experience. Additionally, the medical forms available within this system are quite basic, offering little in terms of detail. Furthermore, the current system does not support the inclusion of volunteers, making it impossible to set them up within this platform currently. It is not possible to send an email containing links and customize it as needed. However, you can send a pdf, which does not achieve the desired result. Instead, you must generate a report and distribute it via a different platform to complete this task.

### "Good and Bad"

September 18, 2024

4.0

Overall there are some things that I really like but not sure if the things we really dislike are a dealbreaker. We have 6 months left on our contract and feel a little stuck. Doubtful we will renew.

Pros

I like that someone can do their registration and input their own information as well as sign forms. I like that once registered we are able to do the attendance based off of the registration. I also like that is shows how many spots are available when registering.

Cons

The system is very difficult to use. After training and 6 months later, I still have to contact support weekly on how to do stuff because it is difficult to maneuver. Payments take a long time to get into our account (7-8 days) vs the competition (1-2 days). We stopped processing payments with Amilia. Also if you have to stop payments or make changes it is very difficult to do. It's not just cancel and done. Lastly my customers found the installments confusing. It shows the yearly payment. in my industry some people do charge monthly what we charge in a year. I would work better to have installments listed as monthly instead of annually. Also don't like you have to sign up for a yearly contract. We are just stuck with the service if we are not happy. Lastly credit card fees should be deducted when the transaction happens instead of being invoiced at the end of the month.

### "Customer service means everything"

September 6, 2024

5.0

Our overall experience with SmartRec has been exceptional. The platform’s intuitive design and user-friendly interface have greatly improved our staff’s efficiency and productivity. By streamlining administrative tasks, SmartRec has allowed our team to spend less time on the computer and more time actively engaging with our customers. The CRM’s robust features, including easy customer data management and seamless communication tools, have helped us build stronger relationships with our clientele. It’s truly made a world of difference in how we operate, enhancing both our service quality and team morale.

Pros

The customer service and their willingness to adapt the product.

Cons

Not being able to choose your own credit card processor.

### "Amilia, a good and user-friendly software for every employee"

August 19, 2019

5.0

With Amilia, we no longer have double bookings and we are offering a better customer service. Client can easily register online and manage their activities. Our staff can easily manage rentals and contract.

Pros

Amilia is a user-friendly for company who has a lot of employees using the software. It is easy to understand, easy to learn and easy to find your way around. New employees don't need a big training, steps are pretty obvious once you know the basics of the software. The best thing about Amilia is their after-sale service. They are always contacting you to make you confortable to call if you have any question. They are listening to your concern and trying the best they could to add the features you asked for. They are always doing follow-ups with their client.

Cons

It's hard to speak to someone when you call the technical support, you can wait a lot over the phone and finish on a voicemail. If you need immediate assistance, it's hard to get in touch with someone. It seems employee of Amilia working at the technical support are new. I had to chat with them often for technical problems, and rarely they can solve my problem. They are only opening a technical ticket and getting back to me weeks after. Most of the time, I finished by solving my problem alone and find a way around. It seems sometime I know more Amilia than the customer service.

### "Solid Rec Management Solution with a Great Support Network"

July 9, 2026

5.0

SmartRec has been a great solution for our Recreation Management needs. No solution that we considered would have fit 100% of our needs, but Amilia ticks most of the boxes and their team has been willing to hear us out on new feature requests and other feedback.

Pros

The customer success and support teams are excellent to work with. No solution is 100% perfect, so knowing that we can lean on the Amilia team to work through issues is essential for us.

Cons

Refunds in the system are a multistep process and can be difficult for staff to get a handle on. There is no true guest checkout for point-of-sale transactions.

### "Airborne LOVES Amilia. It is so unbelievably easy to use as both an administrator and customer. "

May 26, 2017

5.0

Again, so much! We moved from another registration system last June and Amilia is beyond amazing. Amilia is extremely user friendly, especially as an administrator. Inputting and creating classes/activities is so quick and easy. Two of us worked at the same time and created our entire Spring Session in under two hours. It has saved us tons of hours worth of work. It's also easy for our customers to use. We have put all of our competitions, uniforms, tickets for events all on Amilia. Customers are notified and they can easily go on and purchase without help from us. It's really neat how much we can personalize our store too. Not just with colours but pictures, fonts, layout, AND I love that you can move activities around to the order can change AFTER finalizing the program. Airborne loves Amilia.

Pros

So much. It is SO easy to use. I have worked at numerous companies with different online registration processes and Amilia is by far the most user friendly. It does everything we need it to do and so much more (but not so much that's confusing either). I enjoy that I can design attendance sheets to exactly what coaches need to know, customers are easy to look up by either parent or athlete name, their personal and payment information is right there. It's easy to export financials and reports into excel or as a PDF, being non-profit and passing this information onto a volunteer treasurer, ease of accessing that info is important. Creating & adding activities is also easy, I just added August birthday parties in 5 mins. We have also had a lot less complaints or questions from customers regarding our this system registration. They find it simple & easy to access, especially during tax season this year. I think my favourite part is that I can also view the store front as both an administrator or a customer. If I am unsure of font, pictures, anything I can very quickly pop onto the store front to see what the customers see. Oh! Small thing, but I also appreciate the "Home" page after logging in. I love to see what classes have been registered for in the past 24 hrs, which months have been our busiest, to see customer visitation as soon as I log in. Not only does Amilia do that tracking for us, but it's easily visible. Customer service and support has been AMAZING.

Cons

I do find a little on the pricey side. As a smaller-ish non-profit that's a big factor. It's not just Amilia but also adding in Netbanx fees. However, we just adjusted our fees to accommodate. As a positive, customers aren't constantly asking "why do I have to pay this processing fee." I also find going between Amilia and Netbanx a little confusing. Sometimes dates or deposit amounts don't quite line up so it takes a little bit of digging and math to make sure transactions are being book keeped on our end properly. But, it really is a small issue. It's hard to give a "least" when every time I have a problem, I relay it onto customer support and my issue is addressed within 24 hours. Even questions about Netbanx, Customer rep walked me through everything. Rep rocks ;)

### "Great product, will be even better with a few upgrades!"

February 22, 2023

4.0

A positive one. To further enhance our experience, it would be incredibly helpful to have the ability to add events via ticking, as well as a map view of our campsites and cabins, and a calendar view that shows facility availability. The addition of these features would greatly improve your product for our needs

Pros

The greatest advantage of SmartRec is the customer service staff's availability and willingness to assist with any issues or queries. From our first conversation with a SmartRec sales representative to our daily interactions with the support staff, these exchanges have been of top quality. If a staff member doesn't know the answer to a question, they promptly provide one.

Cons

Unfortunately, the software currently doesn't offer a map view of our campsites, which would allow our guests to choose the perfect site for them based on its location in relation to amenities such as restrooms, showers, dump stations, office, etc.Moreover, it would be highly beneficial for campgrounds like ours to have a simple and user-friendly calendar that shows the available cabins and campsites. While the current facility calendar provides information about what is already booked, it's not the most efficient way for our front desk staff to convey information to walk-in guests about available sites and buildings.

### "Smart Rec Review "

January 31, 2023

4.0

Pros

Online registration allow registration for families from the comfort of their home at any time of day There is no waiting in lines to register for activities. Automated Payment Processing means each month there is minimal administrative work to complete as everything is processed and completed. Multi-passes allow purchases of "class packs" which helps facilitate our tumbling program.

Cons

The "store" where we house our pro-shop is not well equipped and has not had updates in years. Split family accounts is a huge headache for us.

### "Mobile site does not work for registration"

October 25, 2021

3.0

Very polite, but when we communicate problems with customers registering they just keep saying to tell customers to use Chrome on a desktop. Are we supposed to tell people they can only use desktop and chrome to register in our advertisements? It's embarassing and I am constantly apologizing to customers.

Pros

It is easy to use on the admin end. I like that it tracks online traffic to your site and that it works with Constant Contact.

Cons

Our customers can't use their phones to register and sometimes the registration site does not appear on our website for desktops either.

### "If you like to talk with Customer Support...."

October 14, 2016

2.0

...Then Amilia is for you! They are super nice, and very helpful in trying to find solutions. My problem was that there were just too many problems to be solved.... I encountered a lot of "wackiness", which is my general term for things not working as described. For example, I ran a report and got data from someone else' business records in a different language and from 2007... In the onboarding process, the sales guy was sooooooo nice. Promised me no problem to cancel if it didn't work out. They originally wanted and entire year's commitment but there was no way I would commit my new business to an unknown for an entire year.... so I signed up based on the promise of a way out. I was initially very excited... their support to get setup seemed very strong. But throughout the setup process, random bugs in the system simply resulted in unproductive time sucking loops and holes. Promised flexibility proved to be "oops - nope, can't really do that"... so I was never actually able to open up shop with the Amilia system. The first impressions are great ~ but Salesman was Not Nice when I had to break up with them. I was held to pay an entire month in advance because they were closed over the new year holiday and I was unable to contact anyone to make my cancelation by the end of month deadline. Their response when I tried to make my case implied that I should actually owe them more money for "all the time they spent training me" - which was really us all trying to fix the wackiness that occurred during my setup process. Just not worth it until they get it sorted out. Could be a really cute system for a simple setup. And their support team is really nice. ;)

customer support is very nice

Cons

### "Just what we were looking for!"

April 1, 2020

5.0

One of the biggest benefits of using Amilia is the different tabs. There are times we will sit in a meeting and someone will say I saw this option on \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], I think that would work great for us. So Amilia has helped streamline what we already did and jump started us into new services to provide our customers.

Pros

This product really helped us take the next step with our customers. The experience for them and us was way better than when we used other forms or software.

Cons

For an activity, parents have to sign their kids in/out on paper. The form that is given to help print out that sheet isn't what we need for our purposes and the options to change it don't quite suit what we are looking for.

### "Amilia Works"

April 9, 2020

4.0

Pros

Set up and transition in to Amilia was good - they are helpful and always available over the phone for help when you need it. I own a cheerleading gym and the product is so customizable which is exactly what I was looking for. My clients can go through the Amilia portal and select which class and time they want to register for - they know how long it lasts and can even set up a payment plan without me touching the registration.

Cons

Financial integration is not great - I wish there was a more seamless way to see your batches of bank deposits. It is also quite expensive.

Reason for choosing SmartRec

quality customizable product that was easy for our clients to use

### "Registration made easy "

October 21, 2021

5.0

Overall, I’m really liking the experience. For the most part, things are running really smoothly!

Pros

I like being able to help clients sign up for the class with ease and even set up payment plans for them so they don’t feel financially burdened.

Cons

Some of our clients have registered for classes but they didn’t see how to pay for the class so it took some instruction on how to pay.

### "Amilia has terrible functionality issues and even worse customer service."

May 5, 2018

1.0

Pros

There is nothing good about this software -- use at your own risk. On the plus side, it's easy to find better options.

Cons

Amilia has terrible run-time issues and unresponsive, downright hostile customer service. The company only has 65 employees after years in business and their only investor is their CEO -- that should be telling. Amilia is no longer in Beta; they should be working to resolve their substantial SaaS platform functionality issues by now. I raised valid concerns on Amilia message boards and via their social media accounts for one of our clients for DAYS, trying to get resolutions to their platform functionality issues and was personally accosted on Linkedin by their company CMO. Shocking! Amilia doesn't understand the very basic tenets of customer service and their event registration platform -- to quote the hundreds of complaints our client has received in the past few days -- "stinks." Try EventBrite, Attendify, even a WordPress plug-in. Avoid Amilia at all costs, unless you are willing to anger and lose your user base.

Hi Kirsten, We could not find you in our database. When we tried to ask you who you claim to represent, we were shut down. Understanding who we're trying to help is our 1st step when clients have an issue with the platform. We're very happy to report we are on track to grow to 80 employees by June 2018! We're also not sure where you got your misinformation about our CEO and equity structure. We're a private company and those details aren't publicly available. While using social media and message boards to get help may seem like a great idea, we recommend using our support line, email or chat to get issues resolved in a timely manner. We monitor calls, including yours, to ensure the level of service meets our client expectations. We help 900 organizations, 5,000 admins and 600,000 users simplify their day-to-day with registration, memberships and management needs. We have maintained a Customer Satisfaction score of 95%, which is one of the key metrics we track and improve.
