WeScore alternative: honest comparison with Swimmigo [2026]

The main difference is the pricing model. WeScore charges an amount per active student, Swimmigo has a fixed monthly fee with unlimited children.

Swimmigo is not the best swimming software, but a different one. WeScore is a solid student tracking system that organizes your administration. Swimmigo is an app that wants to cover the entire swimming lesson, from registration to diploma, with motivation for the child and its own teaching method.

What is WeScore?

WeScore is a student tracking system for swimming schools, pools and associations in the Netherlands and Belgium. It runs in the browser and focuses on administration: registration, scheduling, scoring, invoicing and communication. The creator calls it the most complete student tracking system for swimming schools.

Price per student

WeScore charges 0.60 euros per active student per month, all-in and cancellable monthly. If you start without a support package, that costs a one-time fee of 175 euros. If you take a flotation package, you pay between 850 and 1950 euros for it. The attendance scanner is hardware that is not included in the monthly fee.

Web application with parent app

The school side runs in the browser. For parents there is a separate app for iOS and Android with which they can see progress, report absences and read messages. You can customize that parent app with your own logo and icons.

What is Swimmigo?

Swimmigo is an app for the entire swimming lesson, from registration to diploma. School, instructor, parent and swimmer are all in one native app for iOS and Android. In addition, there is Studio, a web app with which you build your own teaching method.

Fixed monthly fee

Swimmigo charges a fixed monthly amount. Solo costs 9.99 euros per month, School costs 59.99 euros per month. Both with unlimited children, a 30-day trial period and cancellable monthly. Parents use the app for free.

Five languages

Swimmigo works in five languages and is used worldwide. WeScore focuses on the Dutch and Belgian market. That makes Swimmigo interesting for schools with an international target group or with expat families.

The honest comparison

Where Swimmigo wins

Fixed monthly fee, unlimited everything

This is the biggest difference. WeScore grows in price with the number of students: one hundred active students cost 60 euros per month, three hundred cost 180 euros. Swimmigo stays at 9.99 or 59.99 euros per month, no matter how big your school gets. For a school with many students, Swimmigo is therefore more predictable and cheaper.

Own teaching method via Studio

With Swimmigo Studio you build your own levels, exercises, order, videos and certificates. WeScore lets you score skills, but building your own learning path with your own method is not possible. Those who want to centralize their own swimming method have an option with Swimmigo that WeScore does not offer.

Own branding

Swimmigo lets you apply your colors and logo everywhere, in the app and in the marketing toolkit. WeScore offers your logo and icons in the parent app, but not a full own branding.

Native app for everyone

Swimmigo is a native app for school, instructor, parent and swimmer. WeScore is a web application with only a parent app. Those who want to score at the poolside or mark attendance on a phone work in the same app as the rest with Swimmigo.

Motivation and lifelong record

Swimmigo motivates children with stars, XP and a mascot, and keeps the progress record lifelong with parent and child. WeScore scores skills, but has no gamification for the child and no record that moves from school to school.

Family viewing

With Swimmigo you give family a share link with a high five, so grandparents can watch along. WeScore shows progress in the parent app, but there is no separate share link for family.

Revenue and cost overview

Swimmigo shows your revenue per month and a profitability check per lesson. WeScore provides an income overview and outstanding payments, but does not calculate profitability per lesson.

Marketing toolkit

Swimmigo has flyers, social posts, QR codes and a diploma maker. WeScore prints diplomas, but there is no marketing toolkit with flyers and social content.

In-app communication and reviews

Swimmigo has messages with read confirmation and lets parents rate the school. WeScore has messages and notifications, but no review system.

Free for parents

With Swimmigo the app is free for parents and adults who want to learn to swim themselves. Only schools and instructors pay. WeScore charges its fee per student, which results in a cost for the school.

Where WeScore wins

Cheap with few students

At 0.60 euros per active student, WeScore is competitively priced as long as your number of students is small. Twenty students cost 12 euros per month, which is less than the Swimmigo Solo rate. WeScore is therefore attractive for a starting instructor with a small group.

Attendance scanner with hardware

WeScore has a real attendance scanner that recognizes and greets a student upon entry. Swimmigo does attendance manually in the app, without hardware. Those who want access control with a scanner find that only with WeScore.

Financial with direct debit and chargebacks

WeScore has a strong financial module with automatic direct debit, chargebacks and payment reminders via MultiSafepay. Swimmigo handles lesson payments via Stripe, but chargebacks and direct debit are more deeply developed with WeScore.

Experience in the market

WeScore is used by small and large swimming schools, pools and associations. That breadth translates into a system that already knows many administrative side issues. Swimmigo is younger and is still building that broad base.

Who is WeScore the better choice for?

Choose WeScore if you have a small or starting swimming school and want to pay per student. Also if administration weighs heavily, you want to automate direct debits and chargebacks, or want an attendance scanner. And if you work in the Netherlands or Belgium and have no need for your own teaching method or international languages.

Who is Swimmigo the better choice for?

Choose Swimmigo if you have many students and want a fixed price. Also if you want to build your own teaching method, motivate children, want your own branding, or work in multiple languages. And if you want everything in one native app, from attendance to payments and messages to parents.
