The directory of tools
Recommended church apps & tools
Reviews of the software churches run: management systems, giving, texting, accounting, worship planning, Bible study, and social scheduling. Every review names a tradeoff and what to demand in writing before you sign. Three of the tools are ours, and their rows say so.
How we recommend
The rules these pages follow
- We favor tools elders and treasurers can understand without a sales demo.
- Three of the tools are ours: Covenant OS, Berean, and the Church Posting poster. They sit inside their categories beside the competition, marked By Church Posting and never ranked first. What is unfinished is labeled in development or early access.
- We do not take pay-to-rank placement on these pages. Every named product earned its row by fitness for ordinary parish work.
- Pricing lines describe the model: per module, flat monthly, processing fees. Confirm current rates on the vendor's site before you sign anything.
