How much does camp registration software cost?

Camp software is normally priced in one of three ways — a per-registration fee, a percentage of what you collect, or a flat subscription — and the right one depends on how many registrations you take and how seasonal they are.

Short answer

Camp registration software is usually priced per registration, as a percentage of payments processed, or as a subscription, often on top of card processing fees of roughly 1.5-3% plus a fixed amount per transaction. Campio has no subscription and charges a platform fee plus a transaction fee on paid registrations.

The pricing models

Most providers in this category use one of these, sometimes combined.

  • Per registration: a fixed amount for each sign-up, often passed on to families as a booking fee.
  • Percentage of payments: a share of each transaction, so cost tracks revenue.
  • Subscription: a monthly or annual fee regardless of volume, which suits high-volume year-round operators.
  • Card processing: charged by the payment processor on top of any of the above.

What to check before comparing prices

Headline prices rarely decide the real cost. These usually do.

  • Whether the fee applies to free registrations as well as paid ones.
  • Whether you can pass the fee on to families, and whether that is allowed in your market.
  • Whether seasonal inactivity still costs money.
  • Whether waivers, messaging, attendance and staff accounts are included or sold as add-ons.
  • How refunds are treated: are fees returned when you refund a family?

What Campio costs

No monthly fees. You only pay when players register. On paid registrations processed through the platform, Campio charges a platform fee plus a transaction fee, so cost scales with registrations.

Payouts go to the provider's own connected Stripe account, net of those fees, so there is no separate invoice to settle afterwards.
