    Chose SignUpGenius
    We briefly used another sign-up website called "Bring the Cups."Needless to say, this website did not nearly offer the same amount of robust features as SignUpGenius did. Bring the Cups was streamlined and simple, but it bordered on simplistic. In all honesty, Bring the Cups …

    Church Community Builder
    Church Community Builder is ideal if you are seeking to connect your church members to your pastoral staff and to one another in an effective way. If you are looking to plan major events (like our church's 25th Anniversary Service, for example; or our annual Marriage Conference), then Church Community Builder will be incredibly helpful to you! Church Community Builder is also helpful for distributing items like membership applications and mass emails.

    If you are planning large events and you need an accurate headcount, the SignUpGenius is for you! Additionally, if you are trying to get a variety of volunteers to meet various needs, then you should really check out SignUpGenius! One specific way that we have used SignUpGenius is by getting the parents of our youth ministry students to bring refreshments to youth groups on Sunday mornings. We set up a SignUpGenius sign-up sheet where they can all sign up for various Sundays to bring refreshments, which really helps our students focus on Sundays.

    • Some of the layout and terminology are a little confusing and could be more user-friendly. It took me some time and playing around to figure out that the days and times you put in are a step which just produces a grid of possible times, and that choosing which slots to activate is a second step required. It later made sense why it was set up this was (allows you to input a large block of times at once and then select the particular ones you need, and makes it possible to add a second person with a different schedule on the same sign up, giving the appointment setters more options overall to choose from)
    • Wish it would intuitively (or add an option to...) replicate location for any additional days and times you add to the same sign up. Has to be manually added (or copied and pasted).

    I don't have any feedback for support because I have not had to use support (if referring to IT support). If this question is in referral to support from other staff/company, then it has been received well in that sense.

    Far and away, Church Community Builder is an incredibly superior product to PowerChurch. PowerChurch did not nearly feature all of the useful tools that Church Community Builder offers. Church Community Builder's greatest advantage over PowerChurch would be its accompanying Lead App, which allows me as a Pastor to easily pull up the contact information of any church member simply from my iPhone - PowerChurch didn't offer anything even remotely that useful. Choosing Church Community Builder was a clear no brainer.

    I prefer the use of SignUpGenius as it is more user-friendly. I am not limited to 10 questions and then have to pay for additional features. While I do not like the additional feature payment, as we are a nonprofit, I will continue using the free services.

    • Being able to share the form with people inside and outside your organization allows less back and forth via email when scheduling meetings - saving time and money
    • The free version is available as long as you'd like - it's not a trial version - a lot of companies can get away with only using the free version
