What Elvanto is

Elvanto is a cloud-based church management solution covering administration, pastoral care, worship, children and youth, and financial management. It is designed for churches of any shape and size, and the maker says it is used in over 40 nations. Worship planning includes service plans, volunteer scheduling, run sheets, and song databases with lyrics and chords. The built-in check-in system supports children, adults, and volunteers across multiple rooms and locations, with SMS messages available for parents. Online event payments can use Tithely Payment Gateway, Stripe, or PayPal. Mailchimp integration can subscribe or unsubscribe people from lists and update an email address when it changes in Elvanto. Pricing is based on active adults stored in the account; active children and community or outreach contacts are not charged. The 50 Plan costs $15.20 a month billed annually, or US$19 billed monthly, plus a US$149 setup cost. Elvanto runs in modern browsers without installation and offers iOS and Android apps. An API is available, but custom API integrations developed or troubleshot by its team are not supported.
