PowerChurch Plus vs Subsplash: Which is a better fit?

Steve: Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a youth pastor. I give PowerChurch Plus a four out five. For more reviews like this click below. We used PowerChurch Plus for several years up until last year. We used it on a daily basis for keeping track of our church database; who was in attendance and who was participating in our local church. What we appreciated most about PowerChurch Plus is that it helped us keep track of our church members and attenders. What I disliked about PowerChurch Plus, and what caused us to move on from PowerChurch Plus, was that it did not integrate as well with our money income collecting system. When people wanted to give to the church, donate to the church, or pay for things like conference registration, the software that we used for keeping track of those funds did not mesh well with PowerChurch Plus.

Speaker 1: I'm Daniel, and I'm the director of communications. I give Subsplash five out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. We were considering Subsplash, we looked at a few different product options. One of those was Pushpay which also includes giving but has their own mobile app. We looked at a few other providers, and really what we needed in the moment was something that was very user friendly, that multiple users could use. Something that was very drag and drop but also customizable. So a lot of the other software we looked at customizable, but very hard to navigate as a new user, hard to train people on. So we really needed to find something that anybody could learn very quickly. Something that was more intuitive and something that had a really nice user interface. And so that's why we wound up going with Subsplash. I chose Subsplash because when I looked at the user interface. It was nice and clean and easy to navigate. I could find the options that I needed, and when I clicked on those options I was able to do whatever I needed to do easily. Lots of drag and drop, which is huge for somebody to be able to learn and navigate easily. I could move things up and down in the app so that our congregation could find the things easily. And if there was something important, I could put that up top priority. So I was able to drag and drop things around, find what I needed. Then when it came to customizing I was able to make the graphics in the right sizes and add those quickly so that the look and feel of the app matched our graphics when somebody walked into the building. So there was a consistency along our brand, our message series, all of the things we were announcing. So people could connect our app to what they saw in person when they walked in the doors. So when it came time to get started with the app and onboard and really start building the initial app, Subsplash was incredible in helping us get started. Lots of tutorials, and chatting with them. Then we they gave me all the resources I needed, I went for it. I started building graphics and loading in content, and I was able to do that quickly and get the app up and running in a very short time. So I was able to get started with Subsplash, get trained, and then launch in a very relatively short window so that our congregation got the app in their hands as quickly as possible. The money and time involved with making a custom church app from the ground up is inaccessible to most churches, small or large. And so Subsplash gives you something that's prepacked that you can take and customize yourself, make it your own, add things, take away things. Design it for your people, add the graphics you need. So I can't recommend Subsplash enough for ease of use, for getting you started, for getting engagement of your people, how they can download something and be connected to your church so quickly, so instantly. You can change things and add things in a split second for them to see, and it's live real time so they see those changes immediately. So I can't recommend Subsplash enough because it's a great way to keep your congregation connected, keep people informed, and get them involved in what's going on in your church.
