Are you searching for an alternative to Servant Keeper to replace your outdated desktop version of Servant PC?

This article will save you a great deal of time in your hunt for an all-in-one church management software to meet the needs of your ministry. You'll see why over 10,000 churches have switched to ChurchTrac (with hundreds of them switching from Servant Keeper).

In Summary: ChurchTrac costs 1/2 the price, offers twice the features, and has superior support with an amazing community of users.

Servant Keeper Price vs ChurchTrac

Here's a breakdown of what the typical church can expect to pay based on its size for both platforms:

Church Size	Servant Keeper	ChurchTrac Plus
Small Church (under 125 names)	$69.99/month	$33/month
Med Church (under 500 names)	$129.99/month	$69/month
Large Church (over 500 names)	$249.99/month	$120/month

(These prices are based on a 3-year average including features like Check-In, Email, and texting)

Additional Costs of Servant Keeper

At first glance, Servant Keeper's pricing structure seems reasonable. However, when you account for the extra costs and the lack of features in their Standard Plan, it's quickly apparent that your church will inevitably have to pay more than you originally planned.

• Data Transfer: Starting at $149 optional cost (their $249/month plan includes this for free)
• Text Messaging: Not included in cheapest plan. Unlimited texting is only available in the most expensive plan
• Check-In: $399 Add-on if you're on the cheapest plan
• Online Giving: They advertise as free, but you will pay fees to a merchant processor

What Makes ChurchTrac Different?

What makes ChurchTrac different is that our church software includes all the features you'd expect– without needing additional features and constantly spending more money. On average, churches switching from Servant Keeper to ChurchTrac save 60%. We want to see churches succeed in their mission and not be burdened by any financial costs.

Servant Keeper vs ChurchTrac Features

Now let's talk about features...

The core Servant Keeper features are very similar to ChurchTrac:

• They are both cloud-based church management systems
• Both feature an intuitive church database that will save time for your church leaders
• They both include online giving, donation tracking, small group management, and attendance tracking
• You can add additional church staff as users to give access to the web-based software

However, there are many features that Servant Keeper charges extra for or doesn't offer. Here are a few of them:

Feature	Servant Keeper	ChurchTrac Plus
Church App	Not included in cheapest plan	Included
Church Texting	Not included in cheapest plan	Included
Check-In	$399 one-time fee	Included
Event Management	Requires 3rd Party	Included
Church Automations	Not Available	Included
Worship Planning	Requires 3rd Party	Included
Volunteer Scheduling	Requires 3rd Party	Included
Church Accounting	Requires 3rd Party	Included

Regarding features, no other church software can compete with ChurchTrac. Not only that but all these features are included with ChurchTrac Plus at no additional cost.

Beyond Support - ChurchTrac Offers Community

Both Servant Keeper and ChurchTrac offer extensive support for their users. You can get help via email, support tickets, an online knowledge base, phone calls, live webinars, and videos. According to over 600 individual reviews, both SK and ChurchTrac have great support.

The Servant Keeper support page is a little confusing because they are supporting both a web ChMS and various desktop versions of SK7 and SK8. It seems like they're still trying to transition many of their churches over to the cloud versus dealing with desktop installations with Servant Keeper licenses.

At ChurchTrac, our support extends beyond knowledge bases and tickets. We offer weekly workshop livestreams and one-on-one Zoom workshops too. ChurchTrac also has 200+ YouTube videos and posts weekly.

We also have a very active ChurchTrac Users Facebook Group with church leaders doing ministry just like you. We strongly believe in having a community of users built around our software. This enables church leaders to share knowledge, give honest feedback, and help steer the software into what they want.

Other Competitors and Top Servant Keeper Alternatives

There are other competitors and alternatives to Servant Keeper and Servant PC besides ChurchTrac. Here are some of the popular ones...

• Planning Center - Offers a compelling alternative with their a la carte pricing. But as churches begin adding all their apps, it quickly becomes unaffordable. (we get this feedback from churches switching from Planning Center to ChurchTrac almost daily)
• Church Community Builder - A popular option when looking for a robust solution. But their pricing is out of reach for many churches and the learning curve for the software is steep. With their recent acquisition by PushPay, who knows what the future holds...
• Breeze Church Management - Has historically been a top Servant Keeper alternative and competitor. Their user interface is simple and their support is good. Unfortunately, they continue to raise their prices. This is likely due to their recent acquisition by another company.

An honorable mention of Elexio, CDM, and IconCMO. These offer many similar features to ChurchTrac, but much like SK... they're also twice the price and lack many of the features ChurchTrac offers.
