What ChurchTrac is

ChurchTrac is a church management platform for congregations of every size and denomination. Its tools cover people and groups, attendance, fund accounting, giving, worship planning, volunteer scheduling, events, registration, and child check-in. Church Connect adds a website builder, member portal, and mobile app with every subscription. Worship planning can import songs through SongSelect or PraiseCharts, and online giving integrates with Stripe. The platform is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Monthly plans start at $29 a month for 75 people, with listed tiers up to $119 a month for unlimited tracked people; a 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. ChurchTrac says it separates account data into individual databases, encrypts connections with TLS, makes regular backups, and does not store card or bank details. Each tracked individual counts against the plan’s people limit, while archived names do not. Enhanced Messaging costs $7 per month for 250 credits, and online giving incurs Stripe processing fees.
