01 · Your groupsFree
Every group, who leads it, and when it meets.
One page for all of your groups instead of a spreadsheet only one person updates. See each group's leaders, members and schedule, and which groups are full or still have room.
Free church small groups software
Every group with its leaders, members and meeting time in one place. After each meeting, leaders tap a link in their email, check off who came, and they're done — no login, no app. Free for up to 20 groups.
Free, with no catch.Up to 20 groups and 500 people, weekly attendance included. No credit card, no trial clock.
1
Add your groups. Name each group, when and where it meets, and who leads it. Add members now or let leaders do it later.
2
Leaders record attendance. The morning after a group meets, its leaders can get an email with a link. They tick who came, add guests, or mark that the group didn't meet. It takes a minute.
3
See who's connected. Each group builds a weekly attendance chart, and you can see which groups are full, which haven't reported, and who's been missing.
No credit card · Up to 20 groups · 500 people · No login for leaders

02 · AttendanceFree
A link in the email. Tick who came. Done.
Leaders don't need an account. The reminder email carries a link that opens just that meeting — tick names, add guests, save. If they get it wrong, they open the link again and fix it.
03 · Group analyticsPlant plan
Map every group and watch the trends.
On the paid plans, Group Analytics maps where your groups meet and trends attendance across all of them, and groups can sync from Church Community Builder. The groups and attendance you kept on the free plan are already in it.

Nothing to buy, nothing expires.
Group Analytics, CCB group import, and more than 20 groups live in the paid plans — from $49/mo for the whole church. Your groups and attendance history come with you; nothing to migrate.
See pricing →Questions before you dive in
Is it actually free?
Yes. No credit card and no trial clock. Up to 20 groups and 500 people, with weekly attendance, leader reminders and the no-login attendance link included.
Do our group leaders need an account?
No. When reminders are on, each leader gets an email the morning after their group meets with a link that records attendance for that one meeting. The link doesn't sign them in to anything else, and it stops working after 7 days. Leaders who do have an account can record attendance from the group's page too.
What if a group didn't meet?
Leaders tap “We didn’t meet”. That week is left out of the attendance figures instead of counting as nobody showing up.
Are the reminder emails on by default?
No. You turn them on in Settings → Automations. You can also send a one-off reminder to the leaders of any group that hasn't reported.
What counts toward the 20 groups?
Every group that isn't archived. Archive a group that has stopped meeting and its spot opens up; its attendance history stays.
What do the paid plans add?
Group Analytics, importing groups from Church Community Builder, more than 20 groups, and the rest of the workspace — scheduling, service planning, team hubs and more. Your groups carry over as they are.
