Clubsmith vs Sawyer

Marketplace for children's activities. Clubsmith is enrolment, term fees and per-meeting attendance for clubs, tutors and activity providers. Here is how the two compare, including where Sawyer is the better choice.

Where Sawyer wins

It brings you customers — families browse and book on Sawyer's marketplace — and its parent app is polished.

Best for: A provider that needs discovery and is happy to pay for customers it would not otherwise reach.

Where Clubsmith wins

It takes no cut at all, and the enrolment page is your own, on your own domain, under your own brand.

Best for: A club that already has families and would rather keep every dollar of every fee.

Questions people ask when comparing

How much does Sawyer cost?

Sawyer takes a percentage of each booking, so your cost scales with revenue. Clubsmith is a flat subscription, so a club doing real volume keeps materially more.

Does Sawyer bring me customers?

Yes, and that is the honest reason to choose it. Clubsmith does not have a marketplace — if discovery is your problem, Sawyer solves it; if you already have families, Clubsmith costs far less.

Which keeps more of my fees?

Clubsmith. There is no percentage, no per-booking fee, and payments settle into your own Stripe or PayPal account.

Is the enrolment page mine or Sawyer's?

On Sawyer it is theirs. On Clubsmith it is a page on your own domain under your own name.
