Our verdict on Cogran
Cogran is cloud registration and recreation management software for camps, parks and recreation departments, sports programs, community centers, membership organizations, schools and nonprofits. Staff run registrations, reservations and memberships from one web-based system, with eligibility rules for who can register.
Every published plan includes registration management, a CRM with household accounts, check-in and attendance, member attendance tracking, a branded website, email communications, waitlists, reports and charts, refunds and transfers, and coupons and discounts. Online payments run through Stripe.
Pricing is published and tied to volume, counted as registrations and unique reservations per year: $925 a year for up to 500, then $1,100 for 501–800, $1,350 for 801–1,000, $1,800 for 1,001–1,300, $2,100 for 1,301–1,500, $2,600 for 1,501–2,000 and $3,000 for 2,001–2,500.
