"Planning Center People - Fantastic Church Database"
5/5
What do you like best about Planning Center People?

PCO People is extremely user-friendly. It is very organized and can be customized. The actual layout is pleasing to the eye. The customer support is phenomenal. Workflows are fantastic for keeping track of people in all steps of various processes. The integration with mailChimp is wonderful for mass emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Running reports could be easier. Making lists with certain criteria is great, but it often limits you, causing it to be difficult to get exactly what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Switching to PCO People was the best decision we have made!"
5/5
What do you like best about Planning Center People?

Constant updates and improvements. The PCO team is always making changes for the better to the software. No annual contract so unlike other ChMS solutions out there it feels like PCO is working every month to keep customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center People?

There is almost nothing that I dislike about PCO people. Sometimes they roll out a new feature and you wish for it to do more or have more flexibility. Instead of waiting years to roll out something fully completed, they roll out a great feature and then improve and iterate customer feedback. Not a negative but can prove challenging as the software is always evolving and changing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Planning Center People?

Planning Center People is easy to use and helpful for keeping track of people in your church. It's easy to update contact information or change someone from a visitor to a regular attender. You can make your own custom lists (like High School Boys for example) and those lists can be set to automatically refresh every day. It so easy to manage we have volunteers do it all for our church. You can also get an app for your phone so you can look people up on the go if you need to find contact info for someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center People?

Making lists is really helpful and PC People has a bunch you can make easily. However, their process for making a custom list is not very intuitive and can be difficult to create the list you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Planning Center is an incredible web based application that aids in organizing your worship services"
5/5
What do you like best about Planning Center People?

I like that everything my team needs for our services can be found in one place. MP3's, chord charts, other media and even links to outside sources such as YouTube are all stored in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center People?

I dislike the learning curve that is presented to users by the constant tweaks made to Planning Center. They take our opinions and suggestions very seriously and respond quickly by providing updates, but this can make learning the ins and outs of Planning Center difficult for new team members.

Planning Center serves as a great church management software and is even free to begin recording records for your church congregants. There are several additional apps you can pay for in order to allow online giving, event registration, small group management etc and all prices are tiered for your needs and size.

What do you dislike about Planning Center People?

While you can pull reports from Planning Center and the apps you subscribe to, there is limited information you can customize to show in each report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
