Whether you're coming from a spreadsheet or already comparing software, here's how we stack up.
Moving On From Paper
Every parish starts somewhere. Here's what usually changes when you switch.
Whoever has the current version of the spreadsheet has to update it, and everyone else works off a stale copy.
One shared schedule everyone sees in real time — no version to lose track of.
Finding a substitute means texting or calling down a list until someone answers.
Adoration Connect emails candidates automatically, one at a time, until someone accepts.
Reminders depend on someone remembering to send them the night before.
Reminder emails go out automatically to anyone who's opted in — no one has to remember.
No record of who actually showed up, just who signed up.
The check-in kiosk tracks who actually came, so you know where the real gaps are.

A general look at how we tend to differ from other tools in this space.
| Feature | Adoration Connect | Typical Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | One flat rate, locked in for as long as you're a customer | Often scales with adorer count — the more your program grows, the more you pay |
| Notifications | Email, included in the price | Often email plus text or phone calls, sometimes metered or billed separately |
| Substitute finding | Automated — invites candidates in order, escalates to staff if no one responds | Varies — some tools still rely on manual phone trees |
| Setup | We help you import your schedule from whatever you're using now | Often self-service — you build it yourself from scratch |
| Contract | None — cancel any time | Varies by provider |
A general comparison based on how adoration scheduling tools commonly work — not every provider matches every row.
