Grace Gate Check-In review
An affordable dedicated check-in system for churches running children’s ministry workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Grace Gate Check-In is a children’s ministry check-in system for churches that need iPad kiosks, printed labels, pickup controls, and parent communication in one workflow. It combines family check-in with child name tags, parent pickup tickets, security-code verification, classroom rosters, live counts, attendance reports, and CSV export. The product also includes volunteer scheduling and background-check tracking, making it suited to dedicated check-in teams managing both Sunday routines and safety records.
According to the published pricing, Grace Gate Check-In has one paid plan at $9.99 per month. That plan includes check-in, labels, the dashboard, reports, a parent app, classroom paging, volunteer scheduling, background-check tracking, and unlimited paired iPads. A 30-day trial is available, and the published first-month offer does not require a card to start. The straightforward structure suits churches that want a low recurring cost without comparing multiple feature tiers, though organizations seeking separate plans for different operational needs will find fewer packaging choices.
Platform coverage includes web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, while the workflow is centered on iPad kiosk check-in and common label printers. Churches can bring in families through CSV or use Planning Center, Breeze, and Elvanto imports or synchronization. Offline check-in support is useful for maintaining the core check-in process when connectivity is interrupted, while the web dashboard provides room rosters and live counts for staff. Choose Grace Gate Check-In for focused children’s ministry check-in, pickup security, alerts, and attendance reporting; consider another product if the priority is a broader church-management system rather than a dedicated check-in service.
