Flocknote Alternative for Parish Volunteer Signups

Flocknote is how many Catholic parishes email and text their people. ParishSignUp is for the work that follows the announcement: volunteer signup sheets, recurring ministry schedules, confession booking, and the parish calendar. Signup sheets are free at any parish size, with no ads.

Why parishes switch from Flocknote

Signup sheets don't get more expensive as the parish grows: no member-count tiers.
Built for scheduling: recurring sheets, group rotations, slot limits, and reminders before each date.
Confession booking that keeps the seal: only the assigned priest sees who booked.
Parishioners sign up from a link or QR code, with or without an account.
Parish Plus adds yearly membership forms, time and talents surveys, stewardship pledges, and catechesis, priced by households.

Frequently asked questions

Should we replace Flocknote with ParishSignUp?

Not if your parish depends on Flocknote's text messages. Many parishes keep Flocknote for announcements and link to a ParishSignUp sheet when they need volunteers. ParishSignUp doesn't send bulk texts.

Does ParishSignUp send reminders?

Yes. Everyone who signs up gets an email reminder before their date, and parishes can also send reminders to a Telegram group.

What does it cost for a large parish?

Signup sheets, confession booking, groups, and the calendar are free at any size. Parish Plus is priced by households, up to $150 a month or $1,500 a year for more than 400 households, with the first 30 days free.
