Churchease vs Gracely

Churchease is church management software for organizing people, giving, events, and communication, with AI features for pastors. It is intended for churches from new plants to multi-campus organizations, and every plan includes unlimited members without per-member pricing. New churches get 30 days of Growth features at no charge and without a credit card, then can continue on Starter for free. Starter covers people and group management, announcements, messaging, a dashboard, portal, and Power Query. Standard adds prayer requests, testimony sharing, events, service planning, attendance, check-in, volunteer management, and follow-up tools. Growth adds giving and accounting, children’s ministry, automation, forms, multi-campus management, priority email support, and AI features: Shepherd's Briefing, Giving Narrative, and Form Response Summarization. Giving tools include recurring donations, text-to-give, split gifts, pledge tracking, reconciliation, reports, and tax statements. Giving uses Stripe with a 0.5% platform fee on top of Stripe processing. Email to the congregation is included on all plans; SMS is a paid add-on. The service is available on web, iOS, and Android. The member app supports giving, event registration, check-in, directory access, prayer requests, testimonies, and announcements.
