Great Product... will grow with your church - Used at a previous church and just got for new church
Pros
If you are a small church that needs a good online database that doesn't break the bank, this is it. There are numerous features that you can choose what fits your particular ministry and have everything in one area... instead of needing 4-5 different programs to do it all. One of the best things is that you can add more and more names and then simply pay to upgrade to the next level as your church grows, so you don't have to waste money for a database of 1,000 if you only have 70 in your church currently! But (hopefully) as your church grows, you will have the finances to have the program expand with you. I also enjoy ChurchTrac as a pastor, because I can log in on my phone or iPad from wherever I am making a visit to add notes about the visit. We have also added multiple volunteers users who want to help make visits, send cards, make phone calls, etc who can add notes when they do so; there are great restriction capabilities available, so I can allow volunteers access to these note areas without allowing them access to giving records or more confidential pastoral counseling notes. We have also integrated this into our children's ministry/nursery area and purchased a Dymo label printer to give each child a name badge upon check in with emergency phone numbers and allergy warnings. Finally, the congregation access is awesome, so everyone can update their own information or get their own giving records whenever they would like to check!
Cons
A few of the reporting features are somewhat limited and not able to be as customized as I would like, but this is such a minor issue compared to all the Pros that it's hardly worth mentioning... but it was a required field so I had to come up with something. I did have an issue when I wanted to add more volunteer users, but it was fixed within an hour of opening the ticket due to their AMAZING customer service!

Great software for smaller churches
ChurchTrac has solved lots of issues we were having in the past. Mass emails and texts are a lot easier now. And our members have expressed liking to access their info on their phones.
Pros
This software has condensed our expenses because it offers a lot of platforms to use in one software. We condensed from using 3 different softwares into just ChurchTrac which is not only cheaper, but less time consuming.
Cons
On the Donation Management, printing the weekly report is quite a few steps compared to the software we used before. Also adding in the donations could be tweaked. On the previous software, it was easy to click "tab" to enter everything in whereas now you have to click each box. Not a big deal, but more work. :)
Reasons for switching to ChurchTrac
Expensive, having issues with everything, not functioning for what we need
Response from ChurchTrac Software
Thank you very much for the review, Marissa. We're so glad that you've been able to switch from using multiple applications to just ChurchTrac to simplify your ministry and save you money :-) A couple of the cons you listed, please reach out to our support team. You should be able to easily navigate in the software without many steps. Be blessed!

I am not since i have been locked out. i feel information would be helpful, it i could pull it easily and print. I don't like not being able to speak with someone or at lease have them look a my information.
Pros
I can pull and print reports of the information I put in.
Cons
I liked the previous package better -- it was user friendly. This package is not easily walked thru to pull reports and input the information as the previous package. Someone has changed my login and password - there is not a way to speak with anyone for help! The steps provided did not work. I have been locked out all week and now starting another week. I am disgusted!
Reasons for choosing ChurchTrac
It we something we used and we did not realize so much had changed with the new software.
Response from ChurchTrac Software
As it turns out, this customer had a malware infection on her computer that prevented her from accessing her account. Whenever she visited a website, a popup would say that her computer failed a security check, and told her to call a toll free number answered by a person in India. This is a common scam that all internet users should be aware of....if you cannot access websites or accounts that you normally visit because they are being blocked by a popup, DO NOT call any numbers that are displayed on your screen in the popup. And absolutely DO NOT give anyone your personal information out to criminals who are posing as experts to help you fix your computer. Instead, reach out to the company or account directly to ask for assistance (use a different, un-infected computer to look up the number if necessary). In this case, we were able to help her disconnect her computer from the internet until the malware is removed by a qualified professional.

ChurchTrac understands church!
It has been professional and meets our needs.
Pros
ChurchTrac is straightforward and easy to use.
Cons
Reports are flat -- as in, you can't click on a transaction and go to it. This is one feature I like better about Quickbooks.
Reasons for choosing ChurchTrac
Initially, price.
Reasons for switching to ChurchTrac
Quickbooks, though perhaps more powerful in some aspects, muddies the waters. I dislike calling church members "customers"! Every aspect of ChurchTrac is crafted for churches.
Response from ChurchTrac Software
We appreciate the 5-star review, Deborah. We love the phrase you used "crafted for churches", as we see every church as a ministry partner... not just a customer. Many churches choose our fund accounting program for the price, but stay for the features and free support. Could you email us about the reports you mentioned? We'd really like to hear more of your thoughts on how we can improve reports in the software. Talk soon!
