Community check-in
anyone can run.
Free digital check-in for community events, charity drives, school fairs, and church events. Volunteers manage queues from their own phone — no training needed. Powered by ScanQueue.
Free plan · 10 check-ins/mo · No credit card · No training.
Community events deserve
better than clipboards.
Volunteers rotate every event
Last month's team knew the system; this month's doesn't. Training volunteers on complex software for a 3-hour fun run wastes everyone's time.
Limited or zero budget
Most check-in tools are priced for corporate conferences. Community organisations, churches, and PTAs don't have $200/month for event software.
Entry bottlenecks everywhere
People arrive at different times, nobody knows who's checked in, and the registration table becomes a bottleneck. Parents crowd the entrance while kids run ahead.
Free. Simple. Done.
Built to be simple enough for first-time volunteers and free enough for nonprofit budgets.

Community questions.
Is there a free plan for small events?
Yes. ScanQueue offers a free plan that includes up to 10 check-ins per month — perfect for small community gatherings, book clubs, or weekly meetups. You get the full feature set including QR codes, SMS notifications, and real-time tracking. No credit card required. If your events grow, affordable paid plans scale with you.
Do volunteers need training?
No training needed. ScanQueue runs in any phone browser — volunteers just open the link and start checking people in. The interface is as simple as a text message. We designed it specifically for high-turnover volunteer teams. Most volunteers figure it out in under 30 seconds.
Can it work for recurring weekly events?
Yes. Once you set up your event, the same QR code and queue work every week. Attendees who have joined before can rejoin instantly. This makes it ideal for weekly church services, recurring community fitness classes, monthly neighborhood association meetings, or ongoing volunteer shifts. Your setup is a one-time effort.
What if some attendees don't have smartphones?
No problem. A volunteer can add anyone to the queue manually from their own phone or tablet. Just type in the person's name and they're checked in — takes about 5 seconds. This hybrid approach means nobody is excluded. The same flexibility works at weddings and food markets with diverse audiences.
ScanQueue also powers weddings and food markets.
