the honest comparison
SignUpChurch vs. SignUp.com
SignUp.com is a solid general-purpose scheduling tool — schools, scout troops, and team parents everywhere run on it. SignUpChurch does one thing instead: sign-ups built for churches, with no ads and a direct line into your church software.

Why churches switch
No ads next to your ministry
Free SignUp.com pages show ads — on the sheet your church emails out — and removing them is a paid upgrade. SignUpChurch pages never show ads, on any plan.
No more copy-paste Monday
With SignUp.com, every volunteer list gets re-typed into your ChMS by hand. SignUpChurch Pro syncs sign-ups into Planning Center or MinistryPlatform automatically — Breeze, Tithe.ly, CCB, and Realm are coming soon.
One flat price, no add-ons
SignUpChurch is $12/mo flat for unlimited sheets, reminders, and exports — no annual upgrade tiers, and nothing as basic as removing ads sold separately.
real talk —
When SignUp.com is the better pick
We’d rather you pick the right tool than pick us. Stick with SignUp.com if you’re organizing outside the church — a classroom, a scout troop, a snack schedule — or if text-message reminders matter to you: SignUp.com’s premium plans send SMS reminders, and SignUpChurch reminds by email only. We’re building the best sign-up tool for one group: your church.
Try it with your next serve day
Your first sheet is free — no credit card, no ads, live before the benediction. Paid plans start at $12/mo.
