In their own words
ChurchTrac
ChurchTrac is a church management platform with tools for people and groups, attendance, fund accounting, giving, worship planning, volunteer scheduling, events, registration and child check-in. Church Connect adds a website builder, member portal and mobile app, included with every subscription. Worship planning can import songs through SongSelect or PraiseCharts, and online giving integrates with Stripe. The service runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Monthly plans start at $29 a month for 75 people; listed tiers extend to $119 a month for unlimited tracked people. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Each tracked individual counts toward the plan’s people limit, while archived names do not. ChurchTrac says account data is isolated in separate databases, connections use TLS encryption, backups are made regularly, and card or bank details are not stored. Support includes setup sessions and weekly live training. ChurchTrac was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, United States.
