Where BackPR is different:
- **A price you can see:** BackPR is free for nonprofit camps, and the terms are on our website. CampBrain doesn't publish its pricing.
- **Free data import:** We import your campers, families and sessions at no cost. CampBrain quotes data imports separately.
- **No annual commitment:** BackPR has no long-term contract, so you can leave whenever you want.
- **Spanish for families:** Families can register and manage their account in Spanish.

What CampBrain does well: CampBrain covers the whole camp operation in one system, including staff, medical, camp store, attendance, fundraising and conference centers, with phone support and a dedicated implementation team.
