Where BackPR is different:
- **Built for programs, not school administration:** BackPR is made for registration, payments, check-in and parent communication for camps, after-school, childcare, classes and sports.
- **Free for nonprofits:** Nonprofit programs pay nothing to BackPR. Classter is quoted per student.
- **No multi-year billing:** BackPR has no long-term contract. Classter bills annually or every two years.
- **Spanish for families:** Families can register and manage their account in Spanish.

What Classter does well: Classter is a broad modular platform that combines student information, learning management, admissions, tuition billing and parent and student portals, with a mobile app and many integrations.
