Elvanto review

Elvanto charges by active adults, defined as people who attend, volunteer or give, and stores children, community contacts and archived people at no charge. That makes it cheaper than it first looks for family-heavy congregations. The 50 Plan is US$19 a month billed monthly, the 100 Plan is US$39, and 200 active adults cost US$78, with 20% off for paying a year upfront. Every plan includes all features, from worship planning and rostering to pastoral care, children and youth check-in and financial records, and there are no add-on modules. A US$149 setup cost applies, which covers help with data migration. Elvanto is a Tithely company and supports seven interface languages, which suits international churches. The downsides are the setup fee and a price curve that climbs steeply for larger churches compared with Breeze's flat rate.

Who it is for

Churches that want all features at a low monthly price and do not mind a one-time setup fee.
