Likelihood to Recommend Church Community Builder is ideal if you are seeking to connect your church members to your pastoral staff and to one another in an effective way. If you are looking to plan major events (like our church's 25th Anniversary Service, for example; or our annual Marriage Conference), then Church Community Builder will be incredibly helpful to you! Church Community Builder is also helpful for distributing items like membership applications and mass emails.
Read full review In my current project, I am saving the full model into the Realm Database. it takes very little time to integrate into our existing project. So it helps us to save a lot of time and easy to fetch data and CRUD operation with any type of data. and according to our need, we can modify it as well.

If we can save full structure in Realm easily then i think it will be good for developer. Read full review Support Rating Our transition to Realm was fantastic. We had a rep do two days of training with staff. She also provided us with a step-by-step plan for our rollout to the congregation. In addition to the fabulous customer service team, the "help" section of the Realm website is useful--it includes written answers and also video tutorials/webinars. The search function in the help section is built effectively.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Far and away, Church Community Builder is an incredibly superior product to PowerChurch. PowerChurch did not nearly feature all of the useful tools that Church Community Builder offers. Church Community Builder's greatest advantage over PowerChurch would be its accompanying Lead App, which allows me as a Pastor to easily pull up the contact information of any church member simply from my iPhone - PowerChurch didn't offer anything even remotely that useful. Choosing Church Community Builder was a clear no brainer.
Read full review From my experience Realm is fatter than
SQLite . Realm has less Query and is easy to understand. even new developers also can use it In his/her project. It has a good document so a new developer can read and understand and apply it to the project.
SQLite is old and not so easy to understand. we need to add a third-party library to easily use
SQLite .
Read full review Return on Investment We have seen increased connection between pastoral staff and church members We have been able to more effectively put on excellent church-wide events We have been able to systematize our membership application process (and also keep a better paper trail) Read full review This is not my area (finance), but efficiency increased when we moved from Church Windows to Realm. Formatted reports are a huge plus--no need to create a merge document for handouts to be in a usable format. Read full review ScreenShots
