Planning Center Services is powerful for churches, but its free plan stops at five people. If you mainly need to plan worship sets, keep per-vocalist keys, and share the plan, Bandloop does that free — for your whole team.

No five-member wall
Planning Center's free plan caps you at five people — and a worship team is rarely five people. Bandloop is free for your whole team: the full rotation, every week, with per-vocalist keys and a shareable plan built in.
Where Planning Center may fit better
Planning Center is a full church platform. If you need deep volunteer scheduling and reminders, giving and donations, check-ins, or the wider suite of church-management tools, it's built for exactly that at scale. Bandloop focuses on the worship set itself — planning, keys, and sharing — not the whole church back office.
Yes — the core is free with no cap on team members. Add every vocalist, instrumentalist, and sound tech. Planning Center's free Services plan is limited to five team members before you move to a paid plan.
Yes. Each song can hold a key or transposition per lead vocalist, so the same song shows in the right key for whoever's leading that week — no rebuilding the set.
For planning worship sets, keeping song keys, and sharing the plan, yes — and without the five-member free cap. If you also need deep volunteer scheduling, giving, or check-ins, Planning Center's wider suite covers more of the church back office.
