choosing the right tool
Swift vs. Upper Hand
We're biased, not ignorant.
We've helped tons of facilities, some that have been with Upper Hand for3+ years, migrate over to Swift and they've never looked back.
Despite that, we know that Swift isn't a perfect match for everyone. For some of you, Upper Hand might be a better option.
Hopefully this page sheds light on when & why Swift is a better fit than Upper Hand.

Everything boils down
to value and price.
At the end of the day, Swift exists because we believe
that for far too long, facility owners have felt "stuck" with
their existing software.
Our goal is to free you, and deliver the most "bang for buck"
you've ever seen.

Summary
Don't have a lot of time? Here's a quick summary.
When comparing Swift with Upper Hand - the main difference is in price and in credit-based services.
Upper Hand is definitely one of the more affordable tools in the market, so if price is the biggest factor in your decision making process - they may be a fit.
At Swift, we don't believe on competing on price because we want to deliver as much value as possible. We're firm believers of "you get what you pay for" so we're constantly aiming to deliver 10x the value of what our customers pay us.
If your business operates heavily on credits (either from memberships or packages), you should consider how you want these credits to work, and which tool makes the most sense from that perspective.
Both companies offer a clean, modern product with a strong online booking experience that'll save you time and energy.
