Planning Center Calendar vs. Planning Center Check-Ins

Planning Center Calendar is a communication tool to help you manage your events schedule, reserve rooms, and track resources. With Planning Center Calendar, you can categorize events with descriptive tags, book rooms and resources and make those reservations visible to your team, set up event approval requests to mitigate miscommunications or double-bookings, and publish your calendar where congregants can see events and sign up.

Planning Center Check-Ins is an app to help you securely check-in children and volunteers into their classes, and track church attendance. With Planning Center Check-Ins, you can set up multiple check-in stations, use any iOS or Android device as a check-in station, send emergency text to parents and guardians, and print name tags with a matching code for parents to ensure a safe pick-up process.
