Churchteams vs Instant Church Directory
Both stand on church directory software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Churchteams brings several church management tasks together, including check-in, registration, giving, groups, and texting. Review the texting charges and extra costs for scanning and archive storage before choosing it.

Instant Church Directory focuses on member listings, photos and printable directories, with self-service updates subject to approval. Its two paid tiers have no membership-size pricing tiers, while churches needing a connection to other church management software should note that integration is not supported.
