A Comparative Analysis of eSoft Planner vs Swift
Choosing the right scheduling software can significantly impact a facility’s time management and increase cash flow. Two popular contenders for sports facilities are eSoft Planner vs Swift. Both offer features that streamline different aspects of the sports facility. In this comparison, we dive into the key features and offerings of each software. This analysis will help you make an informed decision for what software will best fit your business.
eSoft Planner vs Swift: Experience
eSoft Planner started in 2008 as a solution based on best practices to solve many problems our founder encountered when owning his sports facility. We have worked with thousands of facilities over the last 15 years and have adapted our software to fit their unique needs. Our software can easily adapt to fit the needs of any sport within the sports facility industry. It also works perfectly for other industries, including arts and music.
Swift’s team is comprised partially of athletes who worked at sports facilities. However, they are a recent addition to sports facility software – this is their 3rd year of business. Many of their tools and functionality do not come with the experience of interacting closely with a sports facility over a long period of time. Their main focus seems to be supporting baseball facilities, although they do offer services to other sports.
eSoft Planner vs Swift: Functionality
When comparing eSoft Planner vs Swift, one of the biggest aspects to consider is the functionality. Swift lets you manage rentals, lessons, camps/classes, packages, and memberships. eSoft Planner does all that – and more. We also offer retail, teams, and leagues. Another benefit is that we provide several additional features to help your business grow. We offer marketing services, access control, ticket purchases, and more. Swift has been working on adding similar features but does not have them available at this time.
Both eSoft Planner and Swift have mobile apps for individual facilities. The benefit for Swift is that all of their different types of services are offered on the mobile app. However, their functionality is not as extensive as eSoft Planner’s is. A true mobile app from Swift, up until recently, cost an additional $199 a month. Our app is much more affordable, especially for smaller, family-run businesses.
