Our verdict on PewRoster
PewRoster is a web-based volunteer scheduling service for churches and other congregations, particularly those with fewer than 300 attendees or without dedicated operations staff. Coordinators can define service-time patterns, collect availability and blackout dates, generate and publish rosters up to six weeks ahead, and send text or email reminders. Volunteers can use self-service links to release or claim shifts, while coordinators can provide printable Sunday sheets and private calendar feeds.
Pricing is organized into three monthly plans. Small Congregation costs $19 per month and includes reminders, swap management, availability tracking, printable schedules, iCal feeds, two coordinator logins and email support. Parish costs $49 per month, adding unlimited teams, clearance and training expiry monitoring, team lead permissions, rotation balancing, volunteer import assistance, and phone and email support. Multi Campus costs $99 per month and adds unlimited volunteers and teams, support for up to six campuses, cross-campus cover requests, per-campus coordinators and reporting, roster history export, and unlimited coordinator logins.
Its strongest differentiator is the combination of routine scheduling with compliance-oriented tracking. PewRoster also connects with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Breeze, Planning Center, Church Community Builder, and CSV or spreadsheet imports, which can help churches bring existing roster information into the service. The trade-off is platform scope: it runs on the web, with no app to install, and volunteers access browser links from text or email. Churches that need mobile apps or a different volunteer capacity should compare alternatives. PewRoster is a fit for congregations prioritizing scheduling, expiry monitoring, and multi-campus coordination over a native mobile experience.
