Chose TeamUp by DaySmart
TeamUp is more user-friendly overall than Basecamp and more affordable. It has just the right features to stay organized and on top of things without complicated features that can overwhelm an employee.
Chose TeamUp by DaySmart
We selected TeamUp in 2013 because it had more features that we needed compared to the other options available at the time. There are probably lots of other options on the market now and we may switch at some point, but it is easiest for our customers now to continue with what …

Chose Zen Planner
I switched from Mindbody because their costs were adding up, and I wanted to have the ability to have the students log in to track attendance. If I wanted a certain feature, I had to upgrade, then downgrade if I wasn't using it. ZenPlanner is paid by the number of students, not …

User Testimonials
TeamUp by DaySmartZen Planner
Likelihood to Recommend
It's great for regular, recurring signups, which would be ideal for a gym or similar organization that holds classes that customers need to sign up for. For our weekly Berkeley swims, it's perfect. Customers can pay per class, buy a "10 swim pack," or buy an annual pass. They can set it to automatically register for a certain class that happens every week, or they can just sign up individually. We set the coach for each session, which allows our staff the functionality they need, and allows customers to see who from our staff will be there. We also host large events that often have 100+ participants, including the Alcatraz Swim. If we were just doing these events we would probably be looking for another registration program that people are more familiar with. However, using TeamUp for both has worked fine.

I have used Zen Planner at 3 different Jujitsu schools. Every school that has used it, has had great success in keeping their attendance records straight for their students. This is great when promotions are coming up, or special seminars that need to reach everyone. I don't know that Zen Planner is a great product for places that don't need to communicate with their clients on a regular basis.
