Many Internet sites offer free church management software. However, these offers can be misleading. The following is a list of web pages that offer free church software along with any potential hidden costs.
The author has no vested interest in any of the following sites. The author is trying to save the reader’s time by creating a synopsis of the offers for free church accounting software.
Churchradius.com
Church Radius offers some free, web based church accounting software. This software requires connection to the Internet.
Although you can’t beat the price, having your churches financial information stored on the net may not be the safest route. In addition, sometimes web-based software has annoying banner ads. These ads are what make it possible to give the software away for free.
Sunday Software
Sunday Software is a great page; however, they don’t actually manufacture and sell church accounting software. The site is well designed and has some good church resources. It also has fun resources for kids.
Churchtrac.com
Churchtrac makes and sells church accounting software. The software appears very user friendly. They even offer the software for free for up to 100 contributing members. In other words when you start accounting for your 101st member, they start charging you.

If you have already spent some time searching for free church accounting software, then you may have stumbled across ChurchBiz (they rank highly on Google’s search engine). The problem is they don’t actually offer any church accounting products. They offer a link to Open Office, but you can find that anywhere.
Useful church accounting software will probably cost you some money. Some free options exist, but they definitely have their limitations. Best of luck managing your church in these economically difficult times.
