Transparency alternatives to Planning Center
Other Church and community management vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Planning Center. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 41 that differ from Planning Center on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Planning Center has 5 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Data location stated, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116). The column “Found there, not found at Planning Center” is the one that closes them.
