Churchory vs ChurchPlan

Churchory combines church administration, communication, giving, and care features in an app for guests, members, deacons, elders, and pastors. Its tools include a searchable people directory, groups, attendance, events, serving, worship, kids check-in, youth, chat, leader forums, bulletins, documents, prayer requests, insights, and communications. Churches can rename or hide member-facing tabs and use their own name, logo, and colors. Churchory Mobile is available on iOS and Android, and churches can have store listings under their own name. The plan for up to 250 people costs $89 a month and includes all features and 1,500 text messages monthly. The plan for more than 250 people costs $208 a month and includes all features and 3,000 messages monthly. A 45-day trial includes every feature, requires no credit card, and does not charge automatically. Churchory says churches can export records and delete account and church data in settings or request deletion by email within 30 days. It also says it performs data imports at no cost and charges no setup or migration fees.
