Planning Center Services Reviews & Product Details

Planning Center Services is very easy to use and to implement for church volunteer management and service flow. It keeps everyone on the same page by providing as much information as they need, and it helps keep track of team member scheduling and related details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn’t overly customizable, but that honestly hasn’t been an issue very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s highly effective in scheduling volunteers for Sunday mornings and providing them with the necessary resources to prepare for the upcoming week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it’s a very capable and powerful platform, it can also feel a bit overwhelming for a first-time user, especially when the sheer number of options leads to choice fatigue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Planning Center Services because it makes scheduling different people for various roles from week to week really easy. Plus, everyone can see all the information in one place, which is super helpful. The initial setup was very easy too, which was great. I also like that it integrates well with the rest of the Planning Center suite of apps. Overall, I like Planning Center Services a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app portion still needs work, it is very basic and they should work on this as this can be a winner feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sign-in process can be cumbersome at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Planning Center People for many years almost daily. It is easy to use and serves our small church so well. It is very quick to implement and keep up to date. It also connects well with other services we use for text, email and pastoral care. We've never had an issue, but customer support is responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the modules we use there is not really a downside. It's free and that's great! If you added all the products would be a little overwhelming for a small congregation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and concise for scheduling volunteers and communicating with them important information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only downside would be the feature to text the schedule instead of email is not as user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planning Center has made themselves a one-stop shop for most all of our platform needs. The fact that they integrate with so many other applications is exceedingly helpful. It seems that every time I think to myself, "Man, I wish Planning Center did xyz" I turn around and they have an update adding XYZ to their line-up. I am so grateful for all we can do within the Church Center App and the back end of PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things that haven't worked as smoothly as Planning Center does overall.

I don't like that the Messaging function for Groups only works through Church Center and not through the backend Groups tab. Opposite issue with Resources. Resources can only be added through the admin side, but it would be so helpful if Resources could be added through the app side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it integrates all volunteers, scheduling and allows easy communications and sharing of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a downside, but proper tarining is a must. There are so many things that can be done, it's very beneficial to train in order to properly implement to the larger team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is hands down the best way to manage worship service outlines, volunteer schedules, charts, music tracks, and realted files! It also is a great way to manage the songs we use and how often we use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a learning curve, especially with building and assigning teams, etc. But they have very helpful tutorial videos. Navagating the different features can be a bit convoluted as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
