"We Love a Good Feature Comparison - When It's Accurate."

Explore the facts

Let's set the record straight with a side-by-side look at what you actually get with Camp & Class Manager.

We love a good feature comparison as much as the next camp director, but we noticed some creative liberties on our competitor's comparison list.  Flexible registration and powerful reporting to better marketing tools and fewer restrictions—see why camps across the country are making the switch.

Just the facts.

Let's talk

Discover what sets us apart—the right tools, no compromises. Let’s explore the real advantages you’ll gain, without limits or exaggerated claims.

"Active’s capabilities, features and reporting are far superior to Sawyer in about every way. Automated and customizable emails are a game changer. Customizable reports, report templates and scheduled reports are awesome. Sawyer really doesn’t compare from a technical standpoint. Look and feel is the only thing Sawyer has over Active, but I wouldn’t trade that for functionality."
