Convoke vs IconCMO

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.

IconCMO is a web-based system designed for churches, combining membership records, donations, communication, and fund accounting. Membership tools centralize contact information, allow customizable fields, and retain historical records through archiving. Donation functions track contributions and pledges, create year-end statements, and can post donations directly to accounting. The maker says the system connects to eGiving platforms such as Vanco and supports multiple payment processors. Church accounting includes fund tracking and FASB-compliant, audit-ready reports, alongside budget tracking, expense management, bank reconciliation, financial reporting, and multi-entity support. iOS and Android apps provide directory access, donation history, and member information updates. The full system also works on iPad and Android tablets through a mobile-friendly web app without a download. Listed monthly plans include Accounting Standard at $35 a month and Membership & Donation Basic at $50 a month. The 30-day trial requires no credit card and has no automatic renewal or obligation. Icon Systems is headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, and was founded in 1992.
