Before you choose
Match the platform to your workflow
These products support combinations of web, iOS, Android, API, macOS and Windows. Check the platform set before choosing a system for staff or residents.
An API can matter when another service must connect to the recreation system. Mobile app support can help teams and residents work away from a desk.
Read the pricing details
Paid pricing varies by product. Some makers provide prices on request; listed starting amounts include $899 per year for Cogran, $3,835 per year for RecDesk, $265 per year for LemonBooking and $2.99 per month for RecreationHQ.
A free plan is a separate comparison point from a free trial. LemonBooking and RecreationHQ list 30-day trials, while Cogran, LemonBooking, RecDesk and RecreationHQ list no free plan.
Check registration and reservations
Compare online registration and facility reservations against the work your organization needs to handle. These options indicate whether a product supports program sign-ups and space scheduling.
Look at online payments alongside registration and reservations when fees or bookings must be handled in the same system.
Plan for resident access and reports
A resident portal can give community members a direct place to manage recreation activity. Compare portal availability with mobile app support for the access pattern you need.
Reporting is a listed comparison field. Review it with your program and facility requirements before selecting software.
