The Director's Assistant Web (TDAW) / The Smart Director pricing (2026)
Continental Computer Specialties, Inc. · Jonesboro, AR · in funeral software since 1985
The short answer: Base system is quote-only, but Continental's own 2017 online store published its add-on price list — and it's the cheapest ecosystem of the legacy five: extra user $300 one-time, off-site license $595, website-export modules $100 each.

What nobody has published
Base TDAW system price (license or monthly)
The base system was never sold through the store; every current channel says contact-vendor.
Three 2026 reviewers independently call it affordable ('Priced right with everything included'; 'price is reasonable and affordable, worth the cost'; a buyer who tried it 5 months: 'the price was very reasonable'). Pursuing early-2000s archive captures of tdaw.com.
Negotiation anchors
- Its add-ons undercut everyone: $300 per extra user one-time vs. per-month user fees elsewhere (e.g., FuneraLogic $100/user/month, archived Capterra 2019).
- A 2022 buyer who left after 5 months still called the price 'very reasonable' while criticizing the tech — cheap but dated is the trade.
