Vigil Alternative for Orthodox Parishes

Vigil and ParishSignUp are both built for Orthodox parishes. ParishSignUp keeps volunteer signup sheets, confession booking, groups, and the calendar free, and charges one Parish Plus price for memberships, stewardship pledges, surveys, and catechesis, set by the parish's size in households.

Why parishes switch from Vigil

Volunteer signup sheets, confession booking, groups, and the calendar are free, with no trial clock.
Parish Plus starts at $24 a month, or $240 a year, for a parish of up to 50 households.
One price for the whole parish: no limit on admins, so the priest, warden, secretary, and treasurer all get access.
A 30-day free trial with no card needed, and cancel any time from the billing page yourself.
Confession booking that keeps the seal: only the assigned priest sees who booked.
