No yearly renewal
BackPR has no long-term contract; cancel anytime. A Campwise purchase comes with a one-year maintenance and support subscription that renews each year.
Card rates you can look up

Registration in English and Spanish
Families can register, pay and manage their account with BackPR in English or Spanish.
