Convoke vs Faith Teams

Convoke gives camps, retreats, and conferences tools to manage event websites, registration, payments, health information, check-in, and reporting. Organizers build front and event pages with drag-and-drop blocks, preview changes live, and add custom pages. Registration can collect attendee details, emergency contacts, medical history, digital waivers, and conditional questions. Payments run through Stripe and can be collected in full or through deposits and installments, with promo codes and sibling discounts. Its health center tracks allergies, conditions, medications, schedules, incidents, and notes. Tablet-friendly check-in includes attendee search, allergy flags, authorized-adult pickup, and arrival and departure history. Reports can be filtered, sorted, saved, and exported to CSV, including reports on custom questions. A single account can manage multiple organizations and overlapping events, each with distinct pages, staff, forms, and rosters. Parents need an account to manage registrations and balances, pay online, and register for later events without re-entering information. Full medical profiles are limited to nurses and admins, with access audit-logged; check-in staff see allergy flags only. The free plan covers up to 50 registered attendees. Paid plans cost $3 or $5 per registered attendee, plus Stripe processing fees.

Faith Teams is church management software designed mainly for small and medium-sized churches, available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its people and families database tracks contact details, membership status, notes, contributions, communications, attendance, and involvement. Ministry features include attendance tracking, children's check-in with printable name and pickup tags, volunteer scheduling, and service planning. Giving can be offered through the mobile app, text-to-give, an embedded website form, a kiosk, or custom signup forms. A free account supports up to 100 active people and requires online giving to be activated within 30 days. Monthly paid pricing starts at $75 per month for up to 499 active people; annual pricing starts at $750 per year for that group size. The 10-day trial requires no credit card, but messaging is excluded and a Faith Teams phone number is provided only after subscribing. Subscriptions include email and 500 text messages monthly; extra batches of 500 cost $10. Phone and email support are available, and the team can help import people and data for free.
