They diverge on capability: Boulevard covers Intelligent scheduling, Sawyer covers Class and camp registration.

Enterprise pricing is by consultation with no published rate

Sawyer

The Launch plan looks free but forces a marketplace listing at 30 percent commission, so a single high-value camp booking through the marketplace can cost more than a year of the Grow subscription would have.
Marketplace commission applies to the order value, not the margin, so low-margin providers can lose money on a marketplace booking.
Payment processing fees are charged separately by Stripe on top of the subscription and any commission, which the plan comparison does not surface clearly.
The step from Grow to Scale doubles the monthly cost for account management and integrations rather than for capability most providers need, making the middle tier the only sensible choice for many.
It is built for consumer activity businesses, so providers who invoice schools, councils or corporate clients will find the billing model a poor fit.
