ChurchPlan
ChurchPlan combines giving, events, member records, education, liturgies, calendars, and communications in a church member app and admin portal. Churches can accept online and recurring donations, keep a searchable ledger, and issue tax receipts automatically. Event tools handle publication, registration, payments, QR tickets, and QR check-in. Member profiles can include family relationships, engagement details, and emergency or health information. Education features cover ministries, Sunday school, curriculum, attendance tracking, and parent follow-up. Essentials is free and includes unlimited members, online giving, tax receipts, a personalized mobile app, and donation links and QR. Engagement costs $99 a month, billed yearly at $1,188; Education costs $199 a month, billed yearly at $2,388. Enterprise also adds multi-church administration and API access. Stripe processes card payments; ChurchPlan says it does not retain full card credentials. The service states a 99.5% uptime SLA, breach notification within 72 hours, and a 90-day data export window after termination.
