Where BackPR is different:
- **Terms you can read first:** BackPR is free for nonprofits and our commitments are published. FunJoin's pricing is shared by quote.
- **Free setup and data import:** There's no setup fee and no import fee at BackPR.
- **No yearly lock-in:** BackPR has no contract term or notice period. FunJoin's agreement renews yearly with 90 days' notice to cancel.
- **Spanish for families:** Families can register and manage their account in Spanish.

What FunJoin does well: FunJoin was built by a former day-camp operator and has a native staff app for one-tap or QR check-in and check-out, payments on the go and incident tracking, plus flexible credits, packages and drop-ins.
