    An honest comparison

    Both are capable tools. Here is where each one tends to fit best.

    PayCamp is the better fit for

    UK inland marinas, moorings and mixed sites wanting modern, flat-priced software with bookings, billing and payments in one place.

    Harbour Assist is the better fit for

    Larger coastal harbours and marinas that need Harbour Assist’s established, harbour-specific feature set.

    The key difference

    Harbour Assist is a specialist harbour and marina CRM. PayCamp is a modern all-in-one platform across marinas, campsites and parks with transparent flat pricing.
