Most of our tools are absolutely free. With Events and Appointments we only charge a fee when you do. When we do charge our prices are lower than any comparable service we know of and we plan on keeping it that way.

GT Payment Processing (GT for Graceful Tools) is the easiest way for you to receive payments online for your business. If you need to collect payments for your event or appointments and you don't have a PayPal account then this is a great option. All we need is an address (so we can mail you a check). We will mail out your balance if it is over $25 on the 15th of the month or upon your request. Our service fee (which includes the cost of credit card processing!) will automatically be deducted. Most of our clients will find that the convienience of paying with our integrated service more than makes up for this cost.

For those who want deeper integration with their own website and access to additional ways to empower and promote your organization or business we have a number of easy and powerful options as part of our professional services plan for only $50 a month. You can also purchase individual customizations for $20 a month each.

Custom Folders and Logos - For individuals and organizations that want our tools to integrate seamlessly with their own website we offer customized URL's and the ability to replace the graceful tools logo your own. This is great for those using our appointments tool as their business website.

Community Sharing For churches and community organizations which want touch mobilize their entire community to share their resources with one another we offer a community listing service that integrates with happy loaner. This allows your entire community to list what they are willing to lend out with one another and quickly and easily search for what they might need to borrow.

"Let's Meet for _______!" - For restaurants, cafes and other gathering places we can integrate our group meetings tool to provide a great way for groups to find a time to meet at your location and we will notify you so you can anticipate the rush. If you are interested in our professional services plan contact us at sales@gracefultools.com.

Simple Site Creation For those of you who are new to creating a web presence we offer a short training and can help you start your own website or blog. In one hour we will help you set up your own blog or website and teach you everything you need to know to integrate it with our tools and to keep it up to date. Only $50 (availble only in select locations. If you are interested email us at sales@gracefultools.com).

Graceful Tools was founded during the summer of 2007 by alumni of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Stanford. We started with a simple idea: create simple, powerful tools that help people spend less energy interacting with technology and enable them to spend more of their time and resources on things that really matter. We had watched our email inbox fill out with even invitations and attempts to schedule time together and have seen social networking, instant messengers, and phone calls being used as poor substitutes for face to face interactions between people. We began developing meetingstarter.com to make it easier for people to connect in person.

Since then we have been improving and simplifing our tools, and creating other tools including surveys and happyloaner.com and a service team who want to help you use technology rather than feeling used by technology.

The God of the Judeo-Christian tradition declares "it is not good for man to be alone." We agree; we believe that people matter, relationships matter, and life is better when we get together.
So go ahead! Get together!
