Floways vs One Church Software

Floways is church management software for congregations and ministry organizations, with twelve connected modules: People, Giving, Ticketing, Groups, Services, Check-Ins, Bookings, Registrations, Sites, App, Content, and Floways AI. People manages member profiles, households, pastoral notes, ministry activity, smart lists, and follow-up workflows. It also includes background-check management for volunteers, digital forms, automated follow-up, and email and SMS features. The maker says the modules share data and work together on one platform. Free module options include People, Giving, Registrations, and Ticketing, though fees apply in some cases. Floways Core costs A$99 per month, excluding GST, and includes nine modules but not Sites or App; Complete costs A$169 per month, excluding GST, and includes every available module. Core has a 30-day trial. Floways AI is described as coming soon. The maker says data can be exported as JSON or CSV at no charge and describes its storage and connection encryption.

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.
