Two potential candidates you may consider are Webscorer and RaceID &#8211; both are popular race timing apps on the market and also offer additional services such as registration to cover all your needs in one go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At RaceID, we are here to help you make the right choice. Even though we offer our own RaceID Timing app and Event Management &amp; Registration Service, we want you to find the solution that fits your race best. That includes helping you navigate the (sometimes confusing and fragmented) market and letting you decide between all the available options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webscorer is one of the most popular timing apps on the market \u2013 let\u2019s get into how this app and tool compares to RaceID. We will look at the features &amp; interface of the app and EMS, pricing, support, and of course the participant experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About Webscorer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webscorer is well established and has the capability to time races in all sports. They work on a subscription basis, so you can have as many races as you want, but the number of devices is limited depending on which subscription model you choose. In addition to app timing, Webscorer also offers registration and result services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webscorer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.webscorer.com\/<\/span><\/a><br \>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/developer\/webscorer-inc\/id475523302\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App on iOS<\/a><br \>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.webscorer.webscorerforandroid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">App on Android<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About RaceID\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RaceID is a platform for both race participants and organizers, offering a complete EMS system for race organizers, including the RaceID Timing app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RaceID Timing app is a smooth timing tool, connected to the RaceID admin and registration system.

With RaceID, you\u2019ll need to use the admin registration tool and then everything is automatically synced via your account into the app &#8211; so if you opt for using both with RaceID, it will save you plenty of admin time. Spreadsheet upload of the start list is also possible. Webscorer offers a few additional functions such as handicap options, sailboat racing and race series results which RaceID currently does not offer. A few benefits of the RaceID App over Webscorer are the unlimited timing assistant logins, always an unlimited number of devices for the same race, as well as the superior user interface. The RaceID App is easy to teach to new users that come to time your race, while Webscorer is a bit more difficult to learn and often used for more complex races.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is what the Webscorer timing app looks like:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3551 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Webscorer.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Webscorer.png 800w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\01\webscorer-500x313.png 500w, webscorer-768x480.png768w\"sizes=\"(max-width:800px)100vw,800px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Versus RaceID Timing App:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3546\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/RaceID.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/RaceID.png 800w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\01\raceid-500x313.png 500w, raceid-768x480.png768w\"sizes=\"(max-width:800px)100vw,800px\"><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price Comparison: Webscorer vs RaceID\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Price Webscorer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0App timing for $60 per year for 1 device, $120 per year for 5 devices or Pro (automated timing) for $300 per year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registration: $1 \/ participant plus card processing fees of about 2.9% and $0.3 per transaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Price RaceID:\u00a0 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registration: 6% of the registration fee per participant (plus a \u20ac1service fee that is charged to the participants, which organizers also can choose to absorb). RaceID Timing App costs \u20ac200 per year, with no limitations of amount of devices or racers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, RaceID and Webscorer have similar pricing models. If you can manage on only one device, you can get the basic app timing subscription for Webscorer, which is $60 per year. That is definetily your cheapest option. However, most races require several devices and you may need to consider the more expensive subscription models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interface And Ease Of Use Comparison: Webscorer vs RaceID<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both apps are fairly easy to download and handle for a first-time user. Note that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/timing\/which-races-can-i-use-the-raceid-timing-app-for\/\"><b>App Timing <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">requires some practice if you are new to it, and we always recommend running through the race with your team a few times before race day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both apps offer various screens during the timing &#8211; simple or advanced as well as a numeric pad to manually enter bib numbers. We cannot find any big differences between the two apps in terms of usability &#8211; they both work great for timing a race. Note that RaceID is entirely app-based and to be used on iPads or phones but Webscorer also offers a desktop version of the timing app if you prefer to use a computer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of aesthetics, RaceID offers a more modern and ergonomic user interface (though we have some bias while writing this!). We think that Webscorer is not the most usable of user interfaces, and can be difficult to read with quite a lot of text and black\/white excel rows in many of the views. See screenshots of the app above to get a better idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer Support: Webscorer vs RaceID<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Webscorer and RaceID have similar support options: a support library with videos and tutorials as well as personal support via phone\/email.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participant Experience: Webscorer vs RaceID<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of ease of use, coherency, modern aesthetics and security for participants &#8211; RaceID probably has the edge as we focus on the participant experience as one of our main goals. The design of the registration, the participant app and the results display are adapted to provide the best possible user experience. Webscorer does not have a participant app. With RaceID, users can use their app to browse races, sign up, and view results from all their past races as well as having their profile for securely storing personal data, races and results. This speeds up the registration process to just a few seconds. See screenshots below for how the registration experience and online start lists look like for each provider:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webscorer:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3736\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/webscorer-startlist.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1003\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/webscorer-startlist.png 1003w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\02\webscorer-startlist-500x318.png 500w, webscorer-startlist-768x489.png768w\"sizes=\"(max-width:1003px)100vw,1003px\"><br \>\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Startlist on Webscorer<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3737\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/webscorer-registration.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"763\" height=\"1091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/webscorer-registration.png 763w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\02\webscorer-registration-350x500.png 350w, webscorer-registration-716x1024.png716w\"sizes=\"(max-width:763px)100vw,763px\"><br \>\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webscorer registration page<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RaceID:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3738\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/raceid-startlist.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1341\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/raceid-startlist.png 1341w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\02\raceid-startlist-500x378.png 500w, raceid-startlist-1024x774.png1024w,raceid-startlist-768x580.png768w\"sizes=\"(max-width:1341px)100vw,1341px\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RaceID startlist<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3739\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/raceid-reg-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1314\" height=\"1113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/raceid-reg-1.png 1314w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\02\raceid-reg-1-500x424.png 500w, raceid-reg-1-1024x867.png1024w,raceid-reg-1-768x651.png768w\"sizes=\"(max-width:1314px)100vw,1314px\"> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3740\" src=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/raceid-reg-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raceid.com\/organizer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/raceid-reg-2.png 1350w, https:\\raceid.com\organizer\wp-content\uploads\2023\02\raceid-reg-2-500x382.png 500w, raceid-reg-2-1024x783.png1024w,raceid-reg-2-768x587.png768w,raceid-reg-2-300x230.png300w\"sizes=\"(max-width:1350px)100vw, 1350px\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RaceID registration pages<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summary: Should You Choose RaceID Or Webscorer?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this review has helped you gather information on whether RaceID or Webscorer is right for you! Ultimately it is up to you to decide, based on the nature of your race and organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, Webscorer might be a good choice if you need to time lapped races and count laps, such as Backyard Ultra Races as the RaceID Timing app has a special feature for it. Webscorer is also great because you can download the app on both phones and laptops &#8211; if you prefer to use a laptop. In addition, Webscorer is a good option for more complex races. If you organize a less complex race, prefer an easy-to-learn solution and want a streamlined registration, timing and results service, RaceID is a good option for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hosting multiple races each year, you might want to calculate the annual price and see if Webscorer or RaceID comes out more economically favorable. Additionally, if you care about the usability and the participant registration experience, RaceID might be a better choice for you. You also can communicate with your participants via the RaceID Timing app (using email or push notifications, something not possible with Webscorer).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best of luck with your hunt!
