eCamp vs Stageo

eCamp is a free web app for planning camps, scheduling activities, and producing printable plans. It is aimed at youth associations and Y+S camp and trekking offers, while also being open to school camps and other groups. Multiple people can collaborate on the same camp. Users can create activity templates with storyboards, story context, and safety considerations, and assign materials to activities or camp periods. Its PDF and print process includes A3 output and a day overview. The app is initially available in German, French, Italian, Romansh, and English, with login options including MiData, CeviDB, jubla.db, and Google. Users cannot upload files directly, but can link to files stored on services such as Google Drive or Dropbox. eCamp v3 does not include task lists or todos, and course planning was not yet implemented when the listed MVP: Camp launched. The service runs on DigitalOcean managed Kubernetes, with user content and personal data on servers in Frankfurt, Germany. The maker describes availability as best-effort and does not guarantee uninterrupted service. Its source code is public on GitHub under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.

Stageo brings registration, bookings, payments, and communication into one platform for clubs, academies, and activity organizers. It supports classes, camps, memberships, events, facility bookings, and gift vouchers. Organizers can configure registration forms, group participants by level or age, accept partial registrations, and use automatic waiting lists. Payment options include dozens of online methods, bank transfer reconciliation, and custom methods such as cash. Online processing fees are separate from Stageo pricing and depend on the methods activated with its payment partner, Stripe. The platform can generate invoices, payment proofs, tax and mutual certificates, and participant certificates or diplomas. Collaborators can record attendance from any device and share participant notes in real time. Stageo is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Creating an organizer account is non-binding and free, and sign-ups can receive a free two-hour training session. Pricing is available on request; the support page says replies are targeted within 24 hours. Stageo says organizers control personal data and it processes that data on their instructions.
