Amilia's SmartRec and BackPR both handle registration and payments for community programs. They differ on transaction fees, onboarding cost, contract length and language support.

| | BackPR | Amilia SmartRec |
|---|---|---|
| Cost for nonprofits | $0. No subscription and no BackPR fees. | Preferred nonprofit rates, not published. |
| Pricing | Nonprofits: $0. Other organizations: custom quote. | Standard $99/mo or Advanced $499/mo, plus a 1% service fee on each new invoice item. |
| Card processing | Stripe's standard rates. BackPR adds nothing for nonprofits. | 2.85% + 30¢ (Standard) or 2.75% + 30¢ (Advanced), processed by Amilia. |
| Onboarding | Free, including data import. | From $899 (Standard) or $2,999 (Advanced). |
| Contract | No long-term contract. Cancel anytime with no exit fees. | The default term is 24 months, then it renews yearly. Canceling takes 90 days' notice, and leaving early costs the remaining fees. |
| Your data when you leave | Export everything for free at any time. | Data retrieval after termination is a paid service. |
| Languages for families | English and Spanish. | English and French. |

Where BackPR is different:
- **No percentage on your revenue:** BackPR doesn't take a share of what families pay a nonprofit. Amilia's 1% service fee applies to each new invoice item.
- **Free onboarding:** Setup and data import are free at BackPR.
- **No multi-year commitment:** BackPR has no contract term and no termination fee.
- **Spanish for families:** Families can register and manage their account in Spanish.

What Amilia SmartRec does well: Amilia is strong for YMCAs, JCCs and parks departments, with memberships, facility bookings, access control, finance tools and support in English and French.
