Church Metrics is Gloo's free church-data dashboard: a place to count attendance, salvations, giving, volunteers, and any custom category a team can tally, then watch the trend.^1 I like that the product stays this focused. It is a free account, not a trial, because Gloo says it loves the local church and wants counting to stay available at no cost.^3
The website and the iOS and Android apps let a team enter numbers during a service—parking-lot tallies, kids ministry, the main room—then share one dashboard with interactive charts, scheduled inbox reports, and weather next to the counts.^1 Roles cover admins, users, and volunteers.^1 Notes can explain a spike or a dip.^1 An API is documented for teams that want the same numbers in other tools.^1
It tracks church-wide totals, not individual attenders.^3 Multi-site teams can switch campuses in the apps.^4 Denominations and church-plant networks can create private Groups, tag member churches, and see combined trends.^5 Gloo, founded in 2013 in Boulder, Colorado, publishes Church Metrics under its own name.^6 The homepage says thousands of churches already use it.^2
