Flocknote
What it is
Flocknote gives churches and ministries tools for communication, member management, events and online giving. Staff can send email or text messages to one group, multiple groups or individual people. Member records can include customizable profile fields, household groups, relationship and attendance tracking, and document storage. Signups can support registrations, RSVPs, polls, surveys, volunteering and event payments. U.S. plans include online giving without setup or monthly fees, but transaction charges apply: 1.1% plus 30¢ for ACH and 2.9% plus 30¢ for credit or debit cards. Starter is free for life for 0–40 members; for 41–50 members it costs $10 monthly and for 51–70 members $17 monthly. Complete costs $75 a month plus the Starter price based on total members; at 0–40 members, the total is $75. Enterprise has custom pricing for diocesan and multi-campus organizations. Administrators are advised to use a mobile browser, and members can receive church messages without downloading an app. Flocknote also offers email help.
