Convoke vs Floways

Convoke gives camps, retreats, and conferences tools to manage event websites, registration, payments, health information, check-in, and reporting. Organizers build front and event pages with drag-and-drop blocks, preview changes live, and add custom pages. Registration can collect attendee details, emergency contacts, medical history, digital waivers, and conditional questions. Payments run through Stripe and can be collected in full or through deposits and installments, with promo codes and sibling discounts. Its health center tracks allergies, conditions, medications, schedules, incidents, and notes. Tablet-friendly check-in includes attendee search, allergy flags, authorized-adult pickup, and arrival and departure history. Reports can be filtered, sorted, saved, and exported to CSV, including reports on custom questions. A single account can manage multiple organizations and overlapping events, each with distinct pages, staff, forms, and rosters. Parents need an account to manage registrations and balances, pay online, and register for later events without re-entering information. Full medical profiles are limited to nurses and admins, with access audit-logged; check-in staff see allergy flags only. The free plan covers up to 50 registered attendees. Paid plans cost $3 or $5 per registered attendee, plus Stripe processing fees.
