I also really like creating run of shows or order of service on planning center. > > **Cons**: It’s great for crew management and run of show building but now so much client management. ----- ### "Highly Recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Gloria** | *January 2, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to choose products a la carte for your organizations personal needs and cost efficiency > > **Cons**: Would love to see more personal customization options > > Overall, a great experience and a perfect way to bring in programs for multiple ministry needs ----- ### "Great product - could be optimized more for portable church" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 16, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate that many of the lowest level uses for their products are free. This gives a chance to test and use before full implementation. The best part of these products is the full integration between all the different apps. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the updates happen a bit to frequently on particular apps. This is normally not a problem, but for a setup and take down church, it proves to be difficult as the new workflow needs to be figured out day off. ----- ### "Use it weekly for church" — 5.0/5 > **Natalie** | *May 24, 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's user friendly, all volunteers are able to learn and use. Easy to schedule. I love the app, super mobile friendly. > > **Cons**: It does seem to glitch a lot, I have to refresh. Some limitations when scheduling - would like some more customization when scheduling. ----- ### "The GOAT of Church Management Software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amber** | *March 6, 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planning Center is the GOAT of all church administration software. There is a reason nearly every church or ministry uses them, and it's because it's highly functional, has many useful add-ons, and keeps things organized. On another note, the customer service team has always been helpful and kind in my experience. That goes a long way when you're stuck on a problem\! > > **Cons**: Would love to see more forward-thinking design. It is hard to find where you're scheduled to serve in the Church Center app/website. That design could be more effective, as well, having a calendar showing or something. I'd like to see my confirmed dates more prominently displayed. > > Planning Center is a highly effective tool for church management. It is easy enough that attendees can use it, while also being complex enough that the administrative team can do many things with it. ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/76708/planning-center?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/76708/planning-center) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
