SignupKit
For Churches

Best Sign-Up App for Churches

What to use, what it costs, and when it is not us

Churches have two kinds of sign-ups. Recurring rotas (worship teams, ushers, nursery every Sunday) need a scheduling system. One-off sign-ups (a potluck, VBS week, a meal train for a new family) need a link anyone in the congregation can use without an account. Those are different tools.

The short answer

For weekly volunteer rotas, Planning Center Services is the better tool, free for up to 5 team members. For potlucks, VBS, meal trains, and events where anyone in the congregation might sign up, SignupKit is free, has no ads, and needs no account.

What churches need from a sign-up tool

  • No account for older members who sign up once a year
  • No ads on a page sent from the church office
  • Dish categories with quantities for potlucks
  • Shift slots for VBS and special services
  • Recurring weekly scheduling, if you run rotas

Where SignupKit is the wrong tool

  • No recurring weekly schedules; each sheet is its own event
  • No blockout dates or accept/decline workflow for volunteers
  • No integration with church management software or giving platforms

We make SignupKit. Every other tool on this page is described from its own published plans, and we rank specialists above ourselves where they do the job better.
