ChurchTrac Review (2026)

The budget-conscious full-featured option

Last checked: July 2026 · Visit ChurchTrac →

Pros

  • Cheapest entry point among full-featured platforms — pricing is driven by how many people you track, not by feature-gating
  • Every plan includes people management, check-in, giving, groups, volunteer scheduling, and worship planning — no separate module purchases
  • 30-day free trial, no setup fee, 10% off if you pay annually

Cons

  • No published flat-rate table — you have to plug in your numbers to see the price
  • Accounting (+$15/mo) and messaging (+$7/mo) are add-ons, not included
  • UI is more utilitarian than Breeze/Tithe.ly's polish — fine for admins, less impressive to show a board

Best for

Small churches that want most features without enterprise pricing

Pricing

From ~$9/mo, scales with the number of people tracked

The full picture

ChurchTrac's pitch is simple: pay for the size of your church, not for which features you're allowed to use. Every plan — even at the smallest tier — includes the full feature set: people, giving, check-in, groups, volunteers, worship planning, automations, and human support.

That's a real structural difference from Planning Center (where each module is its own product with its own price) and from Tithe.ly (where the good stuff sits behind a $72-119/mo bundle). A 75-person church on ChurchTrac's base tier is going to land well under $30/mo before add-ons.

The tradeoff is polish, not capability. ChurchTrac genuinely does most of what the pricier platforms do; it just doesn't look like it in a demo. For a volunteer treasurer or bi-vocational pastor who cares about the monthly bill more than the interface, that's usually the right trade.

Prices and features here are compiled from each vendor's public pricing pages and documentation, last checked July 2026 — not from paid trials we ran ourselves. Software pricing changes; if something looks off, see our methodology or check the vendor directly before you commit. We're not paid by any vendor listed.
