Church Trac Review

So it turns out that Church Trac offers some free church management software. They seem like a pretty legitimate company so I've included a small review below.

They offer their management software for free for the first 100 people; not a bad deal. After 100 entries they will start charging you. Church Trac charges based on the amount of people you have in your church. Just to give you some estimates; if you have around 250 people that you are tracking with their software then it will cost you about $60. From what I can see, this is a one time fee.

Church Trac's prices seem to be fairly inexpensive. I think their model consists of your church getting used to using their software. Once you are "hooked" on their software then you will not want to change; so you pay the $60 for the upgrade.

The Church Trac software seems pretty intelligent. One of the coolest features I see is that it can make absentee reports for people who weren't at church services. It does seem to be more focused on the membership/management side of things instead of on the accounting side of things.

Overall it sounds like it might not be a bad idea.

  1. We used the trial version and now I am researching to see if we want to purchase the unlock code or switch to another platform. Your blog surely helped in our decision. Thanks.

  2. We are looking at this for our church. I like the feel of it a lot. One point of clarification though... The software isn't priced based upon members, but rather upon names entered into the database. So, you may only have 50 people actively attending your church, but over the last few years, you may have had 150 people who have come, or donated. It counts the number of names, weather they are actively attending or not.

    Not a big deal though, because the cost of this is pretty inexpensive.

  5. All in all, energy management for small businesses and small buildings, particularly if they are outdated or old, is important too. In fact, since small businesses are often tied to smaller resources and tools, energy management becomes even more important. Now small businesses can save money from having to continuously rely on contractors for energy management results as well as overall energy consumption and costs. Energy efficiency software Review
