Keep Planning Center for Sunday. Bring your events to us.
Planning Center is great at worship planning; 70,000 churches trust it for a reason. But if you’re stretching it to run conferences, fundraisers, and training events, you’re fighting a tool built for a different job.
Planning Center’s worship planning is the best in the world — the song library, CCLI, keys and arrangements, Music Stand. Its check-in security is the industry standard. The free People database is a good deal. If Sunday services are your whole world, stay put; you’re well served.
But read its users’ own reviews and one theme repeats: the event side is where it strains. That’s the side we built.
What changes when the event is the product
Growth should not raise your software bill.
Planning Center’s own users call the per-module, per-size pricing a “growth tax” — cross a registration threshold and your price jumps. Planet Events is flat: every paid plan includes every feature and the AI, and attendee counts never touch your bill. Your biggest event of the year costs the same as your smallest. And prices are locked — no mid-year increases, ever.
When we launch: free white-glove migration — we move your people and event data ourselves, typically inside two to three weeks, and you keep full exports of everything at all times (your data is never hostage). Early switchers from Planning Center get founding pricing plus a switcher credit. Join the switcher list and we’ll handle the rest when doors open.
Planet Events is probably notfor you yet if… you mainly need worship planning (keep Services); you need giving and donations processing today; you need a church member app today. We’d rather tell you now than lose you later.
