Grace Gate Check-In
Education
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 2.0: families can check in in Spanish, and name tags print straight from the iPad to a Brother Wi-Fi label printer.
Grace Gate Check-In is children's check-in, built for churches. One app, one price, one job: get kids checked in quickly and safely.
$9.99/month. Unlimited families, kiosks, volunteers and devices. No tiers, add-ons, per-check-in charges or contracts. 30-day free trial, no card required.
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. Name tags print right away: one for each child, plus 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 the 4-digit pickup code on their ticket and staff check the child out. 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 does just check-in. It's priced for real church budgets and simple enough that you won't retrain volunteers every semester.
