How Regpack and ACTIVE Network differ

Regpack is built for program-based organizations of all types — camps, courses, retreats, afterschool programs, sports leagues, recreation departments, universities, nonprofits, faith communities, government programs, and events. Everything lives in one system: custom conditional forms, automated billing, ACH, recurring payments, waitlists, approvals, group registration, automated workflows, and real-time reporting, all connected natively. One platform, one login, one place to manage every program you run.

ACTIVE Network serves many of the same verticals through a multi-product suite: Camp and Class Manager for camps and classes; ACTIVENet for parks and recreation and membership management; ACTIVEWorks Endurance for races and events; and Payment Manager for payment processing. It processes 93 million registrations annually across 47,000+ organizations and operates a public marketplace on ACTIVEKids.com and ACTIVE.com where participants can discover and register for programs.

Who each is for

Pick based on how you run your programs

The difference is between vertical depth and a single platform for everything you run.

ACTIVE Network is good fit when

You run large-scale races, endurance events, or municipal rec at high volume and want an enterprise platform built for big public registration and rec management.

Regpack is a good fit when

You want flexible, conditional registration and payment automation - deposits, plans, ACH, applications - for programs that need tailored forms and billing, not enterprise scale.

A Closer look at how they compare

The Real Difference

Regpack handles registration and billing for any program type in one place. Conditional logic applies across forms, payment plans, and triggered workflows simultaneously. Billing runs automatically with retry on failed payments, ACH, recurring billing, and installment logic connected directly to registration data. Whether you're running a camp, a nonprofit retreat, a recreation league, or all of them at once, the same system handles it without switching products or rebuilding between seasons.

ACTIVE Network's strength is enterprise scale and vertical depth across a multi-product suite. Camp and Class Manager handles camps and classes, ACTIVENet covers recreation and membership management, and a public marketplace drives participant discovery across all verticals. The tradeoff is complexity: running multiple program types means navigating multiple products, each with its own configuration and pricing conversation.

Regpack vs ACTIVE Network: Common Questions

What is the difference between Regpack and ACTIVE Network? +
Regpack is built for program-based organizations that need custom registration forms, complex billing automation, and multi-program management in one connected system. ACTIVE Network is an enterprise-scale multi-product suite processing 93 million registrations annually across camps, parks and recreation, events, resorts, and municipalities.
Does ACTIVE Network have a public marketplace Regpack doesn't? +
Yes, confirmed on their site. ACTIVE operates ACTIVEKids.com and ACTIVE.com, where participants discover and register for programs. Regpack does not have a public marketplace; it focuses on managing registrants' organizations that have already been acquired through their own channels.
Is Regpack or ACTIVE Network better for managing multiple programs in one login? +
Regpack. A verified Capterra reviewer running two camp programs in different states specifically flags having to log in and out to switch between them in ACTIVE Network, with no toggle between programs. Regpack manages unlimited programs across locations under one account with a single login and unified reporting.
Which platform has clearer financial reporting, Regpack or ACTIVE Network? +
Regpack. Financial clarity is one of the most consistent complaints in verified ACTIVE Network reviews on Capterra and G2 — reviewers flag difficulty understanding fees, unclear revenue breakdowns, long wait times for payout invoices, and difficulty getting chargeback information. Regpack's reporting runs in real time across every form field and payment, allowing admins to filter and segment financial data without waiting for vendor invoices.
Does ACTIVE Network work for adult programs the same way Regpack does? +
Not as well. A verified Capterra reviewer running adult classes specifically notes ACTIVE's registration flow is oriented toward parents enrolling children, creating friction for adult registrants. Regpack's conditional forms adapt to any registrant type — adult or youth — without forcing an age-inappropriate flow.
Is Regpack or ACTIVE Network PCI compliant? +
Both are PCI compliant. ACTIVE Network's Camp and Class Manager is listed as PCI Level 1 certified on its features page, the highest level of PCI compliance. Regpack is PCI DSS Level 2 certified, SOC 2 Type II audited, and GDPR-aligned. Both platforms handle payment data securely without storing raw card numbers, so either is a safe choice from a compliance standpoint.
