Pros

“The built-in communication tools are a huge time-saver, and the ability to create custom reports has helped us better understand and serve our congregation.”

Enrico I.

volunteer

“The other main feature that attracted us to ChurchTrac is that it offers an amazing support network that includes the usual phone support but also webinars, YouTube Videos, online tutorials, and a complete online user guide.”

John S.

Treasurer

“The price for a ChurchTrac subscription that included the accounting software that we needed was less than most other accounting software on the market, but it offered more than just accounting software, it included a robust Church Management Software.”

John S.

Treasurer

Pros

“Also has various report options that go along with these registrations that are very helpful. Whenever we have a problem or question, customer support is very helpful and friendly!”

Kathy V.

Administrative Assistant

“The company itself is working to move customers to newer products (Realm in particular) and current ACS users should get themselves into the cloud ASAP.”

Andrew R.

Director of Family Ministries

“We really liked how easy it was for our members to find each other in the directories”

Cole S.

CEO

Cons

“Trying to remember to pause and unpause automations for quarterly and semi-annual transactions (to reduce the need to fully recreate the transactions each time) can be difficult and is easily forgotten, which makes the financials a bit harder to reconcile when transactions appearing (or not appearing) in ChurchTrac don't match what the bank accounts show.”

Doreen K.

Junior Warden

“Looking back, we missed opportunities and added unnecessary complexity. If I had to note a functional drawback, QuickBooks Online does offer more robust and customizable reporting.”

Michael R.

Ruling Elder, Treasurer

“My phone carrier was down for 24 hours across the nation and left me without the ability to login.”

Lowrey D.

Administrative Assistant

Cons

“We use it every day in our office, but people using it from home often have problems. ”

Kathy V.

Administrative Assistant

“Some days we notice it's "sluggish" (may be an internet issue). ”

Kathy V.

Administrative Assistant

“There seemed to be a disconnect between how we were (poorly) implementing the software and struggling with teaching staff and the way in which the ACS team communicated to us and told us to get excited about functionality that never worked in our context because of difficulty of implementation.”
