Choose which Planning Center products you'd like to use, and then pick the plan for each product that fits your organization the best using our Pricing Calculator

General Pricing Information

There are no contracts or setup fees. After the first 30 days, you'll receive your first charge based on the pricing you choose.

Check out the Planning Center Pricing page for a general overview of all the products. From there, you can subscribe to Giving . If you're already subscribed, change your current product plan on the Products Page.

Once you've completed your trial, you will be billed according to your chosen payment frequency on the Billing Page. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription anytime, and the change will be reflected on the next invoice.

Product Details

People is completely free for unlimited users!

Calendar is priced by the number of rooms you manage. All plans include unlimited events, resources, and administrators.

Check-ins is priced by the number of unique check-ins on your busiest day of the week, usually Sunday. You can occasionally exceed your limit for spikes like Christmas or Easter. All plans include unlimited stations, events, and administrators.

Tip

You don't have to buy anything additional to use Check-Ins, but if you want to print labels or check people in at kiosks, learn more about our Hardware and Software Recommendations.

Giving is priced by the number of donations processed (online, cash, check, or Text2Give) in a month. If you process 500 physical donations, it's the same price as processing 200 physical donations + 300 online donations.

Caution

Text2Give is only available in the United States.

Groups is priced by the number of members (including leaders) in an active group. Members are only counted once, even if they belong to many groups. Visitors are never included in the total. All plans include unlimited groups and group events. 

Registrations is priced by the number of attendees registered for your biggest future signup. All plans include unlimited signups and administrators.

Services is priced by the number of team members who will access the system and by how much file storage you need. Team members include team leaders, volunteers, or anyone who needs access to planning or scheduling. There's no limit to the number of teams or services you can create. Anything you upload (media, chord charts, attachments) takes up file storage.

Services has an add-on that equips musicians to play music for services called Music Stand. Its pricing is based on the Services pricing plan.

Tip

If you're seeing limited Service Types, you were grandfathered in on an older product plan. You can stay on that plan or upgrade to another plan from the Products Page.

Publishing is priced based on the features that you use. All plans include custom home pages and navigation, and you can also add audio hosting. 

If you exceed the plan you're subscribed to in any product, your Organization Administrator will receive an email asking them to reconsider their plan level.

How do I decide which plan to choose?

Here are some tips for choosing which product plan is best for your church:

  • Typically, about 17% of churchgoers donate. So, to get your average number of monthly donations, multiply [your weekly attendance] x .17 x 4.3 (average weeks in a month). For example, a congregation of 1000 would receive approximately 731 donations a month (1000 x .17 x 4.3 = 731).

  • Any donation counts as one donation, no matter which payment source is used. For example, if you process 500 physical donations, it's the same price as processing 200 physical donations + 300 online donations.

Processing Fees

Processing digital payments always incurs a cost. Planning Center is able to offer a low rate with Stripe.

Stripe has no setup fees, contracts, and termination fees. However, some additional fees might apply in these cases (fees are in $USD):

  • Stripe charges a $1.05 fee for failed ACH transfers.

  • If someone disputes a charge with their bank (also called a "chargeback"), losing the dispute could result in a $15 fee. If the person contacts you first, you can issue a refund right from within Planning Center to avoid the dispute charge.

Note

Fees may apply for international donations. For more information on pricing for international donations, see the Stripe pricing information for the United States, Canada, and Australia.
