Church Community Builder vs. Tithe.ly

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.

• The app could incorrectly identify your location and you could give to the wrong church. This was a problem in 2017-2018 but I haven't heard this issue recently.

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.
