Resgrid vs First Due
First Due offers a large, all-in-one suite, but it comes with a high price tag and vendor lock-in. Resgrid offers a flexible, open alternative.
The "One Platform" Myth
First Due pitches the idea of a single platform for everything. While appealing, this often leads to "Jack of all trades, master of none." You end up paying for modules you don't use or suffering through sub-par features that are bundled in.
Resgrid focuses on what we do best: Dispatch, Logistics, and Management. For other needs (like ePCR or NFIRS), we believe in integration, not domination. Use the best tool for the job and connect them via our open API.
