Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Regpack
- Plan prices are no longer published, so a buyer must enter a sales process before knowing whether the product is in budget, and cannot benchmark the quote against a list price.
- The conditional logic that makes it capable also makes it slow to configure, and complex registrations often take days of setup and testing rather than an afternoon.
- The applicant-facing interface is dated compared with modern form products, which matters when the form is the first impression a parent has of your programme.
- Because Regpack processes the payments, switching platforms means moving your merchant relationship and any stored instalment schedules, which raises the real cost of leaving well above the licence.
- Reporting is built around applicants and balances rather than programme analytics, so organisations wanting attendance, capacity or cohort analysis export the data elsewhere.
Square Appointments
- The free plan is aimed at solo professionals; booking across multiple staff requires the paid Plus plan
- Cancellation policies, no-show fees and waitlists require the Plus plan
- Resource management, service cost tracking and the future bookings report require the Premium plan
- Custom processing rates are reserved for Square Pro, which is aimed at businesses processing over $250,000 a year
- Card processing fees are charged on top of the plan fee on every tier including the free one

Yes, the Plus and Premium plans offer free trials for an unspecified number of days. The Solo Professional plan does not appear to offer a trial period.
