The short version

  • Only TeamSnap has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; TeamSnap paid plans are per team per month, so a club that lets each team buy its own subscription spends more in total than the organisation product would cost and gets no consolidated administration.
  • They diverge on capability: CampSite covers Online registration, TeamSnap covers Rosters and availability.
  • 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.

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.

TeamSnap

  • Paid plans are per team per month, so a club that lets each team buy its own subscription spends more in total than the organisation product would cost and gets no consolidated administration.
  • The free plan is funded by advertising shown to parents and players, which some clubs and schools consider unacceptable and only discover after rollout.
  • On the club and league side a large share of the cost is the processing fee on registration payments, so the quoted platform fee understates what families and the organisation pay across a season.
  • Statistics, scoring and any form of video or performance analysis are minimal, so a competitive programme needs a second product for anything beyond administration.
  • Governance features that national bodies increasingly require, background screening and compliance tracking among them, are not covered, which is exactly where SportsEngine wins organisation-level deals.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CampSite: What does CampSite cost?

CampSite does not publish pricing. Third-party directories report a flat rate from around 249 USD a month, plus payment processing.

TeamSnap: Is the free plan genuinely free?

Yes, and it is paid for by advertising shown to parents and players in the application. Removing the advertising is one of the reasons teams upgrade.

CampSite: Does it handle both day and residential camps?

Yes, which is unusual in this category; most platforms lean strongly to one model.

TeamSnap: Should each team buy its own subscription?

No. If you have more than a few teams, the club and league product costs less in total and gives you consolidated rosters, registration and scheduling.

CampSite: Is there a parent app?

There is a parent dashboard, and CampSite absorbed myCAMPapp to strengthen parent engagement features.

TeamSnap: What does registration actually cost the club?

The platform fee plus a processing percentage on every payment. Model the processing on your expected registration volume before comparing quotations.

CampSite: Does CampSite process our payments?

Yes, and that rate is negotiated separately from the subscription.

TeamSnap: Does it handle statistics and scoring?

Barely. It is an administration and communication tool, not a performance one.
