Church Metrics Reviews
Pros
Church Metrics has been a great solution to track attendance and giving at our church.
Another great free resource from Life Church that is incredibly beneficial to any organisation.
I love the simplicity of it and the fact that you get realtime results and information. It's very helpful on Sunday mornings.
It is free, it has a very user-friendly platform and a number of great features given the cost. It does what it is supposed to do.
Cons
It doesn't interact with our other Planning Center products, unfortunately.
The app has had some challenges and errors with saving data, however this appears to be getting fixed over time.
I hate that we need to have two different "services" in order to count kids and adults. This functionality was never added.
Limited reporting features, however cannot beat the price.
"Church Metrics for Enhancing Worshipper Experience"
Pros: The volunteer management module is probably the best. With so many volunteers, managing them through excel sheets and emails was a tedious task that has now been automated through this module.
Cons: We are yet to enable all features of this product but don't have any complaints yet. Some work can be done on enhancing the UX further but it is still better than hundreds of emails and excel sheets being exchanged.
"Your church has to use ChurchMetrics to measure your vital stats!"
Overall: The benefits are it's simple to use, easy to manage, and clear results of the data are shown.
Pros: Wow. I don't know where to start with the pros of ChurchMetrics. Our team utilizes this tool on a weekly basis. We were using random excel spreadsheets (I know, old school and useless) to track our stats, but ChurchMetrics made it possible for multiple team members to enter their data all in one place to help us see a better overview of our ministry. ChurchMetrics keeps the program running flawlessly and with updates, making the experience better for us all the time. Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention that this a free tool from Life.Church? Wow, how generous and incredible is that?!
Cons: I don't have one complaint about ChurchMetrics. Honestly, every aspect of the program fulfills all of the needs that we have. You won't be disappointed either.
"Limited, but good for free software"
Overall: I investigated this software deeply but in the end decided not to implement it. It does little more than a very simple spreadsheet would, though Church Metrics would be easier to share between different users in different locations. I did enjoy the clean simplicity of the interface.
Pros: Church Metrics has a nice, clean, simple interface that does a simple task clearly-- if that simple task is precisely what you need. It does very little but does it well.
"One place to keep all the metrics!"
Overall: Church Metrics helps us keep track of the numbers that are important to us and enables us to generate custom reports to get an overview of the information we need. We've been using it for several years now and it's been great to have all that information available at a few clicks of a mouse.
Pros: Ease of input! It takes a little bit of time to set up how you want it but after that initial investment of time, inputting the weekly information takes seconds.
Cons: This may not apply to most other people, but there are some weeks where our attendance gets overlooked because the person who normally does it is gone and we don't pick up the slack. For such occasions, it would be nice to be able to tell the system to overlook that entry when generating charts. That way we don't have the extreme valleys and would making finding averages easier.
"Simple and Free"
Overall: We have used Church Metrics for over 10 years, which allows us to see our attendance at-a-glance and share simple numbers to various folks in leadership.
Pros: I love how simple this interface is, and I appreciate that it is available for free. It easily adapts to web browsers on laptops or phones, making it available to various users.
Cons: There are some limits to the customization features, but that is reasonable since it is free. It doesn't interact with our other Planning Center products, unfortunately.
