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

“One of the aspects I appreciate most about Nucleus is its intuitive interface, which effectively simplifies and consolidates a range of business operations.”

Christy O.

Regional Network Performance Analyst

“It's the lowest you'll find anywhere. When you consider everything it includes, Nucleus offers CHMS, email, stock footage, social posts, giving, event registration, website builder and a sermon engine all for $199 month.”

Andrew L.

Communications Director

“Nucleus Web has consistently provided the best possible product, especially with their new Web2 platform, they've developed amazing new tools that help with not only creating a highly-customizable website, but also a website that can be easily managed by a team of people -all with different levels of permissions.”

Gabe S.

Director of Worship & Media

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

“They also deposit online giving once or twice a day, which makes reconciliation a bit tedious.”

Andrew L.

Communications Director

“I've never felt let down by the team, but the only thing that has consistently irritated me about the product is a lack of integrations with other software platforms, such as Planning Center or Mailchimp, specifically in the area of people/database management.”

Gabe S.

Director of Worship & Media

“Unable to use giving feature as we are based in Australia. ”
