“Honestly, I don’t see much of a catch. The only thing I couldn’t tell without digging in extensively was how far you could customize and design things like emails, announcements, etc outside of the templates. But for quick ease of use at a reasonable price, I find it much better than many alternatives.”
Tested against Planning Center, ChurchTrac, Breeze, Rock RMS, Realm
+ Better than the rest
Pretty much everything. If I was searching for a church management software, this is what I’d choose.

I don’t think any of them did better in any category. It has everything.
From their verdict on the whole list
I can’t say much about ChurchTrac or Breeze because there was no way to trial them, but comparing Planning Center, Rock and Ministry Planner is easy. If you know your way around Planning Center, it can do a lot and works great. I’ve used it for years at my church.
