Soljio vs Captyn
A registration and membership platform for swim schools, swim teams, and youth programs, with team features on its higher plans.
Built for
- Soljio
- Swim schools first. One workspace per school covers programs, sessions, rosters, report cards, families, and staff.
- Captyn
- Swim schools, swim teams, and other youth programs. Team tools such as meet registration sit on the upper plans.
Getting set up
- Soljio
- Import your current roster from a spreadsheet and publish your programs the same afternoon. Private-beta schools set up with the founder on a call.
- Captyn
- Self-serve plans with a demo. Reviewers describe the platform as easy to use, with some rough edges on newer scheduling features.
Family booking
- Soljio
- Families browse and book on your own soljio.com subdomain or custom domain. No app to install; every page is built for a phone first.
- Captyn
- Mobile-friendly registration with saved cards, waitlists, and a white-labeled site. Branded apps on the higher plans.
On deck
- Soljio
- Instructors take attendance and mark skills from a phone at the pool edge. The front desk sees the same roster at the same moment.
- Captyn
- Attendance and unlimited staff accounts for coaches and instructors.
Skill progress
- Soljio
- Report cards mirror your paper checklists: one sheet per level, each skill marked attempted or completed. Guardians see the card as it fills in.
- Captyn
- Evaluations and skill tracking are included.
Payments
- Soljio
- Card payments through Stripe when you want them. Cash, check, and an external card reader are first-class, so enrollment never waits on a processor.
- Captyn
- Integrated processing with one-time, monthly, annual, and custom charges, invoices, and autopay.
Pricing model
- Soljio
- Private beta. Pricing is agreed with you before you start.
- Captyn
- Four monthly plans from a single-coach tier to a large-team tier. Memberships, facility access, and meet registration unlock as you move up.
Automation
- Soljio
- Autopilot is in development with our private-beta schools. When it ships, you choose whether it suggests, asks first, or handles the task itself.
- Captyn
- Bulk and individual email and text messaging, autopay, and reminders. No assistant that acts on your schedule.
When Captyn is the better fit
Captyn may fit better if you run a swim team alongside lessons and want meet registration, a times database, and USA Swimming support from the same system, or if you need a branded app in the app stores.
When Soljio is the better fit
You run a swim school, your instructors work from a phone on deck, and you want families booking on your own domain without an app to install. You would rather set the system up in an afternoon than in a training program.
