ALL-IN-ONE CHURCH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
What makes Planning Center different?
There are a lot of great systems out there, but no other church management software can say all of these things are true for them–we can!
Transparent pricing: No hidden fees
We list our prices and processing fees publicly. You don’t have to talk to a sales team to figure out your bill.
No contracts
You can adjust your plan or cancel completely anytime without any additional fees.
Responsive support
Our team will reply to you in ~1 business hour and stay with you until you have a solution.
All-in-one platform
A single, integrated system of tools for every ministry including a church app.
Weekly product updates
Every product releases a new feature at least twice a quarter and improvements are ongoing.
Customer-focused, not publicly traded
Customers—not investors—help set the tone for our product, and we’re never going to sell.
PeoplePlanning Center
Planning Center has been a dream compared to Tithe.ly. Since switching, we save so much time managing all of our data in one place. Stewardship is serious business for the church. There is no other system that does what Planning Center can do and offers the low fee structure. The money saved goes right back into your budget for mission.
Gregory
Pastor of Administration at Redeemer Church
Giving up the unique app branding in the App Store with Tithe.ly didn’t matter. In the end, nobody cares about a branded app if you do a good job customizing with Planning Center! The integrated nature of everything in one ecosystem is better for your users and better for you as an admin. Honestly, Tithe.ly isn’t even close.
Tyson
Administrator at Washington Avenue Baptist Church
Planning Center's modular setup ensures we don't pay for features we don't use, but leaves us with options should our needs change and we decide to expand.
Alex Biddles
Teaching Pastor at LoveNOW Community Church
PushPay support took days while Planning Center takes minutes. PushPay staff always made it about the sale, while Planning Center people have all been fabulous.
Steve DePaul
Church Administrator at Believers Fellowship
PushPay is not intuitive on the back end. People were confused with so many different systems, apps, and places where their info was stored for the church.

Frequently asked questions about Planning Center
You can also reach out to our support team or check out our demos for more info about the product.
Will Planning Center help me migrate over from my current system?
We have a few dedicated guides on how to import your database from another system into Planning Center. We also have product demos and how-to articles to show you how to set up your account, and our beloved support team is always available to help. You can also check out the Slack community to hear from people who migrated their church’s data.
Can I import my donor history?
There are a few ways to input donor history into Giving: manually enter donations from other systems, build an integration to import donations using our API, or check to see if your current donation management provider already has an integration with Giving. You can also import your donor's contact information into our member database, Planning Center People.
Does Planning Center have all-in-one pricing?
Our pricing is customizable based on what your church needs. We don’t want you to pay for anything you’re not going to use! Select only the products you need, adjust your plan level anytime, and cancel any time.
Is Planning Center in danger of being acquired?
Never. Planning Center is a privately held, fully bootstrapped company. Having no outside funding or stakeholders helps us stay committed to the needs of our customers—the church. Everything we do, we do for them, and that will never change. Check out our CEO’s statement to learn more about our commitment to independence.
