Looking for a ChurchTrac alternative? Compare pricing that scales with your congregation's size against a flat rate that doesn't, plus meeting governance and financial depth side by side.
ChurchTrac's price climbs with the number of names in your database — from $29/mo at 75 names up to $119/mo for unlimited. RC Management's rate is set by which tier of operations you need, not how many parishioners you have — a growing congregation doesn't trigger a bigger bill on its own.

RC Management was built from the church office out — councils and committees, pledges and funds, parishioners and households — so meetings, records, giving, and financials all live in one connected system with a price that doesn't move as your congregation grows.
A growing congregation doesn't trigger a bigger bill on its own — your rate is set by which operations you run, not how many people are in your database.
Agendas, minutes, committee management, and elections are core to RC Management — not something bolted onto a general church database. Every meeting shows where it stands at a glance — agenda draft, waiting on committee reports, minutes in progress, or minutes sent to council.
Chart of accounts, budgets, bank reconciliation, and accounts payable — beyond fund accounting alone, the full financial picture for your church.
A family's contact info, a fund balance, a meeting's business items — entered once, and it shows up everywhere it's needed, without exporting between separate tools.
