ChurchTrac is the best Church Windows alternative.
Here are a few reasons why...
Why Choose ChurchTrac over Church Windows?
Better Price
Church Windows costs way more than it should. Church Windows has an initial setup fee starting at $379 and monthly pricing starts at $58/month.
In order to get what ChurchTrac offers for one low price, you will need to pay for multiple modules.
Those prices extend up to $800 up front and $80/month. Ouch.
Church Windows costs SIGNIFICANTLY more than ChurchTrac for all ministry sizes..
At ChurchTrac, our belief is that smaller churches should pay less. We also believe in the mission of the local church, and we don't
want any church (large or small) to pay more than what is reasonable. ChurchTrac's pricing makes it easy to customize your plan
according to the size of your church and the features you want without needing to overpay. We think the software you choose
should be a blessing to your ministry, not a financial burden.
Churches switching from Church Windows to ChurchTrac save hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of dollars each year.
Smaller churches save even more, making ChurchTrac the #1 most affordable alternative to Church Windows.
With Church Windows, also watch out for hidden or "bonus" fees. We import your data and give you support without charging you anything extra.
"ChurchTrac had by far the most options included for the price. And their price is at least
half of most companies. The monthly subscription includes not only management tools for people, but also accounting as well
(which is a huge bonus)."
-Pastor Jerrod @ Harlowton Faith Chapel (Capterra Review)
Better Support
Church Windows offers support which consists of an online user guide, videos, an online ticket form, and phone support.
Phone support is limited to normal business hours and often results in a representative pointing the user back to the user
guide or recommending their paid premium support. Church Windows offers training workbooks, which can be helpful, but they
charge extra to access these workbooks. At ChurchTrac, all our support resources, including our ministries guides, are
absolutely free.
With ChurchTrac, we take more of a hands-on approach to helping our customers.
ChurchTrac is intuitive and super simple to use, but we still offer training videos,
live webinars with Q&A, and even one-on-one workshops.
Plus you can schedule a call with a member of our team.
While many companies take a day or more to reply to your questions, our team typically handles most support incidents in less than 1 business hour.
Our support goes deeper than software.
We see every church as a ministry partner, not a customer. Any way that we can help your ministry succeed, we're here for you.
Whether it's helping you craft a better safety protocol for your Children's Ministry, or simply praying for you and your
family...that's what we do.
More Features
ChurchTrac leaves Church Windows in the dust with features like worship planning, event registrations, and church websites.
ChurchTrac is a complete system with all the tools you need.
Church Windows offers a product that gives you just enough to still need more third party applications to run smoothly.
ChurchTrac has EVERYTHING Church Windows does and more, like the ability to plan your worship services. If you consider
the third-party products you'd need to purchase in addition to what Church Windows offers, your monthly cost could easily double.
Simplicity
ChurchTrac is easy to use. In fact, you may find that you don't even need to use our amazing (yet free) support resources! The same won't be
true of Church Windows. You'll quickly find that you need to purchase the Church Windows premium support in order to get things working.
In an independent review by Capterra, ChurchTrac was ranked #1 in task completion times. Church Windows didn't even make the top 20 list.
Church Connect
ChurchTrac is the only church management solution that includes a church website AND app...at no extra charge!
Church Windows doesn't have anything that compares.
Church Connect is the member-facing side of ChurchTrac. Your congregation can install the App on their Apple or Android devices in seconds by simply scanning a QR code.
Best of all, it works seamlessly with ChurchTrac.
When people sign in or register for Church Connect, they're automatically linked to the correct person in ChurchTrac
(or you can quickly add a new person to ChurchTrac based on their registration information).
Members can view and update some elements of their own profile, making it easy to keep your database information current.
Your people will always be up-to-date with the latest announcements, plus they have the ability to submit
prayer requests, spiritual decisions, or any other information to your leadership through our custom form builder.
Church Connect also has a self-check-in feature, allowing your members to mark themselves and family members present when arriving at church.
Members and contributors can give online through Church Connect, as well as view their giving history, and print their own contribution statements. Your donors can set up ACH giving or text giving too.
Church Connect can display upcoming events for your ministry. Your people can even register for events right from your page, or from the web app.
Volunteers and band members can respond to invites to serve when they are scheduled, or they can enter dates they're not available to serve.
Musicians can access this week's worship outline, sheet music, or chord charts....all from their mobile devices.
We Love the Local Church
ChurchTrac has been around since 2002, growing to be the preferred choice of most small and mid-sized ministries.
We focus on the needs of churches first. While many companies only care about larger
churches,
we decided to be different.
We're a team of people that have firsthand experience in leading worship, teaching, preaching, church finance, children's ministry, and more.
We serve in the local church, so we know the needs of the local church. Our experience helps us to serve you better.
Your ministry is our ministry. Your mission is our mission. We love to help churches, and we often get feedback like this:
And this...
ChurchTrac is the best option for price and performance, beating Church Windows...and everyone else.
Your ministry is our ministry.
We go deeper than software. We see every church as a ministry partner, not a customer.
Our mission is to help you achieve your mission. Our passion is to serve you.
Nobody cares for churches like ChurchTrac.
