Planning Center Calendar is cheap, simple room and resource booking, priced by rooms managed.
Staff and members submit room requests through forms. Approval groups review them, blockouts protect key times, and setup diagrams tell facilities how to arrange the room. It flags conflicts to prevent double-booking and shows every campus in one view. Planning Center's own blog walks through five ways churches use it to manage facilities.
G2 reviewers like the straightforward event creation, shared schedules and approval workflows. They also find navigation confusing for new users, the calendar can get crowded with many events, and the mobile experience is limited.
