Regpack and Campsite are both popular contenders for the top camp management software.
And for good reason. Both offer a great suite of registration and payment tools that make registration and collecting family payments easy!
Let’s break down the differences between Regpack and Campsite.
Conditional Logic
Both Regpack and Campsite offer conditional logic functionality.
Conditional logic very simply means the ability to customize the registration flow based on parent answers to specifically triggered questions.
An easy example is camper allergies. If you ask the question “Does the camper have any allergies?”, a “No” answer will move on to the next section and a “Yes” answer will trigger additional questions to show – like an upload function to add a doctor report, more details on the specific allergy or whatever you need to get the information required.
Regpack takes conditional logic a step further by allowing you to trigger more than just additional fields, questions or forms. You can also trigger products, payment plans, schedules and more with conditional logic, based on how parents answer specific questions.
This ability really gives your out of the box software a customized experience and allows you to create a unique registration flow for every family.
Embedded Registration
Placing the registration process ON YOUR WEBSITE has shown to increase enrollment by 27%!
Regpack offers the ability to simply place the registration code on an existing page on your website. Campsite will match the look and feel of your website, but registration stays on campsite’s website, not yours.
Parents already trust your brand, so sending them to a 3rd party website, even if it “looks” like your website, won’t get you the same results. Especially when parents are entering sensitive information, including payment information, you want them to feel “at home” on your website and comfortable completing registration.
Pricing
Campsite does not provide pricing information publicly, so you must request a demo with them in order to understand how you will be charged.
Regpack provides a transparent overview of pricing, which you can find here.
Regpack offers annual plans and month to month plans, starting at just $89 per month. Campsite only offers annual plans.
Many camps are seasonal, so a month to month option can be a great benefit to the budget! Plus, being locked in an annual plan does not allow you the flexibility to move on if the software isn’t working out for you.
When it comes to flexibility and options with your commitment to a software, a month to month option is the only way to go!
Full Camp Software Comparison
While comparing features can be helpful, it really comes down to whether or not the software options you are choosing from have what YOU need to manage your camp, accept online payments and connect with your families.
Start by making a list of how you’d like your software to work and what you need to realize that.
Then set up free demos with these companies and explain how you need your process to function. This way, you can see what each software can offer you, how much it will cost, and you can compare more effectively.
