The Hidden Cost of Planning Center's "A La Carte" Model

Planning Center has built individual tools over the years, but their pricing model forces churches to make tough financial compromises. When you want Giving, you pay for Giving. When you need attendance check-ins, you pay an extra fee. When you need event registrations, that’s another subscription.

The Typical Planning Center Stack for a 150-Person Church:

  • PCO Services: $34/mo
  • PCO Giving: $29/mo
  • PCO Check-ins: $29/mo
  • PCO People: $0 (Basic tier)
  • PCO Registrations: $29/mo
  • PCO Calendar: $14/mo
  • Total Monthly Bill: $135 - $190/month ($1,620 - $2,280 every year)

The SWAPP Way:

$49/month flat. Everything included. Unlimited administrators, member directory, attendance, online giving, prayer wall, push messaging, and built-in mobile soulwinning maps. You save over $1,500 every single year.
