ChurchTrac vs RollCall

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.

RollCall is a self-service check-in and attendance tool for youth groups, churches, sports clubs, community organisations, events and programmes. Members enter their names at a check-in screen, choose a match and confirm arrival; duplicate protection helps prevent repeat check-ins. Leaders can see attendance as it happens, and new people can register at the door with their details added to group records. Optional sign-out records departure times and shows who is still on site and how long each person stayed. Groups can also use a QR code or share a link for check-in through a phone browser. RollCall runs on Android, iOS and the web. It imports people and check-in history from Planning Center and can return newly registered RollCall members there, but check-ins do not sync back. Brief internet interruptions do not stop check-in; data syncs once the connection returns. The free plan covers one group and up to 30 members. Above that limit, check-in and registration continue, but reports and the full member list lock until the group upgrades or reduces its active membership.
