Free ChurchTrac Alternative for Churches
ChurchTrac is a small-to-midsize church management system with volunteer tracking. If you need only the signup sheet side — without people records, accounting, or child check-in — ParishSignUp gives you that piece free, with Orthodox-friendly features on top.
Why parishes switch from ChurchTrac
- No seat-based pricing — free for every parish size.
- Signup sheets don't require a people database.
- Orthodox-specific features: Trapeza, fasting awareness, confession slots.
- Recurring schedules generate months of sheets in one pass.
- Volunteers sign up from a link without creating an account if the sheet allows.

Frequently asked questions
Is ParishSignUp a full replacement for ChurchTrac?
No. ChurchTrac handles people, giving, and accounting. ParishSignUp is focused on signup sheets and recurring ministry schedules — use them side by side if you need both.
Why choose ParishSignUp for signup sheets over ChurchTrac's built-in scheduler?
ParishSignUp doesn't require setting up people records first. Volunteers can sign up from a link in one tap. And it's free at every parish size.
