What The 99 is
The 99 is a web service for church small-group leaders to track attendance and identify changes in member engagement. Leaders check people in by tapping names, without QR codes or kiosks, and a grid displays several weeks of attendance together. Present, at-risk, and urgent signals indicate attendance patterns and possible follow-up needs. Groups can keep separate rosters and weekly or custom meeting schedules, with attendance tracked independently. Built-in group chat supports real-time messages and reactions, and leaders can moderate conversations. The service works on any phone without an app download. Its maker says it does not include dashboards, reports, or giving tools. The Free plan is billed at $0 forever for one group and up to 10 people. Starter costs $9/mo for five groups and up to 50 people, while Pro costs $24/mo for unlimited groups and people. The privacy policy says roster and attendance data is used to provide the church service, not sold or used for advertising; it also says The 99 uses no analytics or advertising trackers and no AI.
