Realm Church Management vs. Servant Keeper vs. Subsplash

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.

This software was created for use by churches BUT because you can customize the fields, it has been very effective for other non-profit use. Workshops are geared for church users so I don't usually attend those. It has a LOT of functionality. I am able to import my data from Quickbooks as I utilize that product as well. Since I am not a church and my chart of accounts is pretty complex, I have found it easier to import from Quickbooks rather than the other way around. It is easier for me to control the accounting side of things by doing this way.

• tracks donations for year end giving statements with donation details
• makes emailing all donors super easy
• produces labels for mailing newsletters
• tracks donations by categories I set up
• you can modify the input boxes to fit your needs....this is especially helpful as I am not a church and it is primarily set up for churches to use.
• you can create custom reports and save them for future use

Incentivized

• Notifcations
• Connecting with other social media platforms

• There is too much clicking! Could be MUCH more effective if less clicking was required. This is my biggest complaint! It's not a deterrent to purchasing, and it does not affect its functionality, but is an annoyance that could EASILY be fixed.
• It can be cumbersome to figure out how to use features but is pretty user friendly.

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.

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.

I don't remember the names but I evaluated other church donor software and Servant Keeper offered the most bang for your buck. It had amazing funtionality but not a super high price tag.

Incentivized

• Class sign-ups
• Event attendance
• Communication within certain groups

• Because I use the desktop version, there was literally a one time cost and it has given me years of use and function.
• It has improved my ability to communicate easily and effectively with donors
