Its CRM stores searchable member profiles, family links, giving and attendance history, messages, and printable QR membership cards.

A branded Android app provides sermons, events, giving, member messages, prayer requests, and a church calendar.

Self-hosting is free forever with all six core modules, the Android app, and no usage limits. Managed Hosting costs $29 a month; annual managed hosting costs $290 a year.
