The short version

  • Only Cal.com has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cal.com free plan limited to single user only; CampSite the vendor publishes no pricing, so the widely quoted 249 dollar a month figure comes from directories rather than CampSite and may not reflect any current quote.
  • They diverge on capability: Cal.com covers Custom booking pages, CampSite covers Online registration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Cal.com

  • Free plan limited to single user only
  • Free plan restricted to 1 user account
  • Teams plan requires yearly billing at $12/user/month
  • Organizations plan requires yearly billing at $28/user/month
  • Free plan lacks team collaboration features

CampSite

  • The vendor publishes no pricing, so the widely quoted 249 dollar a month figure comes from directories rather than CampSite and may not reflect any current quote.
  • Payment processing is taken by the vendor, so a camp collecting substantial tuition pays far more in card fees than in subscription and cannot see that comparison up front.
  • It is lighter than heavyweight camp platforms on housing and retail, so camps with bed-level assignment and a camp store will find gaps.
  • Reporting is serviceable but inflexible, and camps commonly export to a spreadsheet for board or budget reporting.
  • Configuration work is concentrated in the off-season and support demand peaks in summer, so a camp adopting it late has little margin for setup problems.
