Before you choose
Compare free access and paid plans
A free plan is available from services such as Planning Center, Connection Card Pro Check-Ins, and B1 Checkin. Other tools offer a free trial instead, while paid plans can start at different monthly prices.
Check what the free plan includes before moving to paid access. Planning Center lists paid plans from $5 per month with a 30-day trial; Connection Card Pro Check-Ins lists $29 per month with a 30-day trial; SteepleMate lists $69.99 per month.
Match the software to your devices
Web access appears across the category. Mobile and desktop support varies, with options for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. A smaller set lists an API.
Confirm support for the devices used at check-in, at office desks, and by families. Android availability is part of the site's ordering rule.
Review check-in and safety features
Compare check-in modes, badge printing, family linking, safety alerts, and digital badges. These fields show how a service can fit arrival workflows and child-safety procedures.
Look for attendance reports and multi-site support when a church needs records across locations or campuses.
Plan for reports and future changes
Attendance reports can help organize visit records. Multi-site support matters when locations share administration or need separate records.
If your church needs system integrations, check for API access. Recheck current plan terms and device support before signing up because the list is rebuilt nightly.
