Gathrik vs One Church Software

Gathrik is a web-based church management platform for pastors and church administrators. It brings member records, attendance, events, communication, giving, and volunteer scheduling into one service. Profiles can include contact details, photos, birthdays, anniversaries, custom fields, and family connections. Churches can run one-time or recurring events, record attendance by QR code, manage registrations, and set capacity limits or waitlists. Members can use a portal to join groups, studies, teams, committees, or classes. Messaging includes email and SMS, and the homepage also describes WhatsApp. Giving tools cover online and recurring donations, multiple funds, statements, and reporting. Churches can create volunteer roles, open sign-up slots, and send reminders. Data imports from CSV or Excel and can be exported as CSV. Gathrik offers free data import, a live onboarding call, and ongoing support. The Free plan costs nothing with no time limit and covers up to 75 members; Premium is $149 a month, billed monthly.

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.
