Pros / Cons
  • Overall, ChurchTrac is a great app for church leaders and administrators to track their churches impact in their neighborhoods, membership growth, and other church member milestones.
  • There's not really anything that I don't like about ChurchTrac. If I could tweak anything--and I've already suggested this to the developers a couple of times--it would be to allow automations to be set for quarterly and semi-annual actions, not just daily, weekly, monthly, or annually.

  • The best qualities of Realm allow us to easily track donor gifts and create registration events to which congregation members can RSVP and pay.
  • The chart of accounts set up is a bit difficult to navigate during initial set up.
