MyVBS vs VBS PRO
Both stand on church event management software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan Web
MyVBS brings registration, event and group management, rosters, and email campaigns together for Vacation Bible School organizers. Its plan is free, and the site directs users elsewhere to browse and order materials.

Choose VBS PRO if you are organizing a children’s event and need registration, crew or volunteer assignments, and an event website in one system. Look elsewhere if built-in payment collection or custom mass email is central to your event workflow.
