GraceGate Check-In
Education
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Grace Gate Check-In is the children's check-in system built for churches looking to simplify their check-in experience. One app, one price, one purpose: get kids checked in safely on Sunday morning.
$9.99/month. Unlimited families, kiosks, volunteers, and devices. No tiers, no add-ons, no per-check-in charges, no contracts.
HOW IT WORKS
Set up a kiosk on any iPad in under five minutes. Parents walk up, search their last name, tap their children's names, and check in. Labels print automatically — a name tag for each child and a pickup ticket for the parent. Staff see every check-in live on the web dashboard from any phone, tablet, or computer.
At pickup, parents show their 4-digit security code. Match verified, child released. Simple enough that a first-time volunteer can run it without training.

WHY CHURCHES SWITCH
Most check-in software is buried inside a full church management platform — giving, services, groups, calendars — at $25–75/month for features your kids ministry will never touch. Grace Gate replaces just the check-in piece. Purpose-built, priced for real church budgets, and simple enough that you won't need to retrain volunteers every semester.
