Faith Teams vs One Church Software

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.

One Church Software’s accounting module provides fund accounting for churches, tracking unlimited restricted and unrestricted funds with real-time balances. Contribution batches post to the general ledger, while Plaid connections import bank transactions multiple times per day. The module handles bills, recurring payables, bulk payments, payment history, and check printing. Churches can make annual budgets by fund and compare them with actual income and expenses. Reports include a Statement of Activities, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, Budget to Actual, and General Ledger, exportable as PDF or CSV. Accounts receivable invoices can be paid by credit or debit card or ACH through One Church Giving. The accounting module is a separate add-on to a One Church subscription, though the Financial Plan includes it. The add-on costs $36 a month, and the page offers a 30-day trial without a credit card. The accounting page says bank connections are read-only, credentials are not shared with One Church Software, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
