ChurchSuite vs Gracely

ChurchSuite is a set of connected products for organising church life, spanning contacts, children, bookings, small groups, rotas, calendars, giving, planning, attendance, and networks. Its Address Book module is required, powers the system, and stores adult contacts. Members can use My ChurchSuite to manage their details, sign up for events, join groups, handle rotas, and access church communications. The service is available in web browsers and through free Android and iOS apps. It also provides an API and Embed components with OAuth2 authentication for custom applications, plus integrations including BulkSMS, GoCardless, Mailchimp, PayFast, Planning Center Online, SAML2 SSO, Stripe, and Twilio. Stripe handles online card payments for event tickets, donations, and booking charges; ChurchSuite says it does not retain card details. Listed monthly plans for 0–99 active contacts are $15.50 for Address Book alone, $33.00 for Address Book plus two modules, and $56.00 for all ten modules. Larger-tier pricing is available on request. The monthly cost includes email support and access to support articles. Accounts include 2GB of file storage, with unlimited storage possible.

Gracely is church management software for handling members, groups, events, giving and communication in one platform. Administrators can manage family information, track attendance, and communicate by email or SMS. Members using My Gracely can update profiles, view groups, submit forms, receive announcements, and register for services, groups and special events. Giving tools include online donations, recurring giving through Stripe, contribution tracking and donation statements. Connecting Stripe supports automatic contribution tracking and direct payouts to a church bank account. Gracely offers web, Android and iOS access, and says it serves faith-based organizations from small congregations to large multi-site churches. Its free plan allows unlimited members, up to two admins and up to ten emails per month. Standard costs $19 a month billed annually, and Pro costs $49 a month billed annually; the pricing page also shows monthly prices of $29 and $59 respectively. A 30-day trial does not require a credit card, and migration from another system is free across plans. Bank sync supports US and UK banks, one account per Gracely account and up to 180 days of transactions. QuickBooks integration is described as coming in a future release.
