Churchease vs MyUCD

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.

MyUCD is a church directory app for members to find families, view events, and receive push notifications. Churches control access to the app and its content; when a directory is published, listed members receive a login code. Members can browse an alphabetized, searchable family list or a scrollable photo list. Listings can show family photos and names, optional addresses and phone numbers, and a required family email address. Administrators can update family information, send emails and notifications, and create groups for targeted messages. The online directory supports unlimited families, with no hidden charges for large directories. Administrators can disable a family’s access, after which its online directory information is removed the next time that family opens the app. Custom buttons can link to church websites, social media, calendars, online giving, video services, and other tools. MyUCD is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan costs nothing and is available through Universal Church Directories’ directory program.
