Thanks for building this great tool. I use it almost everyday in my business. Review Source Response from Uplifter October 17, 2024 Thank you for your feedback! We're glad that Uplifter has been an essential tool for your business. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out! SW Steve W. Registrar Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well Satisfied " October 22, 2025 5.0 Very satisfied. Their support response is outstanding in terms of quality, timeliness and completeness. The person who gave me the initial on line demo of their app’s capabilities understood their system and had a decent grasp of our requirements and limitations (Other possible providers seemed to deliver a more canned demo catering to a “model” client) The ability to automatically manage wait lists fits our needs to a T.(Some programs fill in a day or two when registration opens in December- camp week is mid-July). There was a bit of a learning curve - in part aligning terminology to our usage - but not a big deal. The ability to modify terms as they appear in forms and reports is a plus. Pros Value for $. We are a single annual event non-profit music camp run by a volunteer board. We have experienced significant growth post-Covid and Uplifter’s pricing structure and database setup fits our needs and capabilities very well Cons Limitations on customizing reports. Although the report suite is comprehensive and does provide some predetermined filtering that can be saved, I periodically need to download multiple report datasets and combine in a standalone DBMS to get the reports I really need. I do appreciate that there is an absolute need by Uplifter to ensure the integrity of their reporting suite as it is too easy to inadvertently create misleading reports if one does not have a solid grounding in database structures. I’ve seen far too much of this in my career.

The Google forms-based setup was an emergency fill-in which required constant monitoring. Review Source KF Kimberly F. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Season of Disappointment" June 5, 2025 3.0 We were very satisfied with Uplifter up until this past year. Key priority issues were felt handled poorly on urgent concerns affecting payments. Issues become a reflection of our business if the experience is not positive one for our clients. Pros Registration programming was user friendly and customer communication via emails was great for sending out information. Cons Lack of priority for fixing key issues involving payments through installment plans, updating credit cards and previous issues with waiver forms. Alternatives considered [iClassPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127097/iClassPro/) Reason for choosing Uplifter We choose Uplifter because it is a Canadian company Switched from [SmartRec](https://www.capterra.com/p/198905/SmartRec/) More flexibility and price point as well as intigration with membership management with our governing body Review Source Response from Uplifter June 6, 2025 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We're really sorry to hear this past season didn’t meet expectations, especially after previously being satisfied with Uplifter. We understand how frustrating issues with payments and waivers can be, and how they impact your client relationships. Please know your feedback is being taken seriously. We're actively working to improve how we handle urgent support and third-party integrations. We truly value your business and hope we can regain your confidence moving forward. LK Laurie K.

It has excellent capabilites and intuitive function, with excellent support. We are going into our second year and the transfer between seasons was easy, allowing us more time to explore other capabilities the system offers. The different modules and permission settings have been very helpful in allowing different board members to take ownership of their tasks and reduce administrative burden. Pros Uplifter has many useful features. You can start with very functional basics and expand into using enhanced features as you get comfortable with the system. Uplifter reduces administrative burden, making it easy to onboard new staff. Support is very responsive, and the online FAQ is comprehensive. Cons The value is good, but the price can still be a considerable expense for a small club with 150 members. More options in lower tiers? Switched from [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) Uplifter was set up for skating clubs. Sportheadz was set up for hockey or baseball. It did not meet our needs.

Club Administrator Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Uplifter is Amazing" June 9, 2025 5.0 We are a not-for-profit sports organization and we love all things Uplifter. The program has everything we need to organize and support our club and make our programs run smoothly. We have over 1400 members a year and over 6000 members in the database and our experience is excellent. We have been with Uplifter since 2015 and we recommend them to everyone. The price of the program is competitive and a great value. The customer service is second to none. We are extremely please. Pros The customer service is excellent. Uplifter is always improving their platform and adding new features to simplify the experience. Cons The formatting of the web page can be difficult to line up columns at times. It may look straight and then when I save it the information shifts. Reason for choosing Uplifter It seemed to be geared more towards our sport and it seems to offer more versatility for what were were able to do with the platform. Review Source YH Yves H. Business owner Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent online registration and management system for sports clubs" June 9, 2025 5.0 5 stars tells you all! Beside the discount set up that I feel complicated, I love all the rest of the platform. Pros 1\. The customer service is excellent and quick. 2. They allow us to use multiple vendors and venues. 3. The platform is really versatile. 4. To my point of view it is quite easy to use. 5. It is a Canadian Company! Cons Basicaly not too much. I love the customer service but do not like that it is only by email... Also I do not like how discount works. I feel it complicated! Alternatives considered [iClassPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127097/iClassPro/) Reason for choosing Uplifter Was looking better, was recommended by AGF. It was a Canadian Company and was allowing me to use multiple locations Switched from [SmartRec](https://www.capterra.com/p/198905/SmartRec/) Alberta Gymnastics Recommendation (AGF).

Operations Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product at a Great Price" June 9, 2025 4.0 Great! The sofware is very robust and a great value at an affordable price. The customization options allow ua to easily brand our club and market our offering easily. Our families love having one spot to get all the information they need on what is offered, simple registering, and paying all in one location Pros I love the flexibility and high quality of the product. Our website has never looked better or more professional. I love the ease of creating programs, our families are able to register with little to no training and we can collect payments for almost everything we do easily and in one spot. Cons The reporting is very flexible, but it's also hard to learn, and I often have to create more than one report to gather all the information our board requests. I wish it was more user-friendly and all options were available on all report types so I could get the info I need in one report. I would prefer a report included in each program so you can easily download all the information collected for the program you are working with rather than having to go to the reports to create a report to gather what is needed.

Owner Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An overall perfect solution for sports clubs" June 11, 2025 4.0 Generally, uplifter has been an amazing experience for us. I found that when the company was smaller, things were easier to get done. When I put in support tickets now it takes a lot longer than it did 3 years ago. Pros I like how easy to use the general back side of the website is. Most admin functions are easy to figure out. Cons POS & discounts are quite a bit more complicated than they need to be. therefore our online store takes a long time to get up and running. Switched from [SmartRec](https://www.capterra.com/p/198905/SmartRec/) Cost and a canadian/local company option was preferred. Review Source Response from Uplifter June 13, 2025 Thanks so much for the kind words! We're glad Uplifter has been a great fit for your club and that the admin tools have been easy to use. We appreciate your feedback on the POS and discount setup - making those areas more user-friendly is definitely on our radar.

June 6, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been great with Uplifter. One of the best aspects is their HELP section. The response time for questions is amazing. In addition, they will follow up on any difficulties/questions/suggestions that you might have. Pros It's one of the most comprehensive sport management system I have ever worked with. The ability to perform class management tasks along with financial record keeping allows so much versatility. Cons There's very little NOT to like about Uplifter. I would like to see the addition of SMS communication capabilities. Switched from [Amelia](https://www.capterra.com/p/180818/IPsof-Amelia/) In the beginning due to our PSO switching systems. But very glad I decided to switch over. Review Source Response from Uplifter June 13, 2025 Thanks for the fantastic review, we love the title!

Some key things need focus like the accounting concern I mentioned above however this is overall a good product. Pros Ease of reporting memberships to our National Sport Organization Skate Canada via the link for member reconciliation and automatic submission. Cons No simple way to integrate import into Quickbooks, depending on your accounting method this could mean dual entry. Switched from [Google Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/176571/Google-Forms/) More functionality for membership maintenance Review Source Response from Uplifter June 13, 2025 Thanks so much for your thoughtful review!

Treasurer Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Happy with moving to uplifter " October 17, 2024 4.0 I am overall satisfied with uplifter and like the quick response for questions asked. I would recommend that you tell new clubs not to put payment plans near the end of the month so the payments and bank reconcile easier with the fee reports. Pros I like multiple users on admin side of the system. Our website will be moved to uplifter. The gold package keeps AR in one system. Cons I would like to be able to resend emails without having to re type and select email addresses. examples reminders for competition or fundraisers.

I only have/had issues with the accounting side, but overall good. Hoping they can communicate more. Pros Their front end for customer experience. Customers love the experience and registration is simple for them Cons The time taken for solving issues. Even when involved with 3rd party ie Ayden.

It has allowed us to have an online registration which has made those who wish to register happy. People do not want to come to in-person registrations anymore. It also links to a he Skate Canada website itself and registers everyone on there as well which saves a lot of time! Pros I like that it is synced up to the Skate Canada website so we don’t have to double enter registrations. Cons Some of it is quite confusing for the technologically challenged, so I guess I wish it was more straightforward. Review Source Response from Uplifter June 6, 2025 Thanks for the kind words!
