ChurchStats

An enterprise-level church analytics platform that consolidates attendance, baptisms, salvations, small groups, tithing, kids check-in, volunteers, preacher metrics, weather impact data, custom metrics, and Digital Church (YouTube/social) analytics into one dashboard. Complements existing CMS tools (Planning Center, Elvanto) with deep filtering by ministry, campus, event, and sermon series; built by Everprise (Gold Coast, Australia) for single-site and multi-site churches with role-based access, staff training, and contact-based enterprise onboarding via personal login portals.

ChMeetings

All-in-one church management platform trusted by 7,000+ churches, ministries, and dioceses — handling people, giving (with Apple Pay & Google Pay via Stripe), events, child check-in, volunteer scheduling, worship planning, project & task management, payments via forms, fixed assets accounting, and messaging, in 26 languages. Three thoughtfully-scoped AI features: an AI Email Writing Assistant, an AI-Powered Advanced Search (Beta) that turns plain-language requests into people filters, and a read-only MCP integration for asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini questions about your church data — with published security, privacy, and accuracy guidance.

Web-based consulting service in low-activity mode; website live but no new content since August 2023.

The complete church engagement platform trusted by 14,000+ churches, unifying digital giving, ChMS with AI-powered people search, custom mobile apps, livestreaming via Resi, and pastoral care via Nurture.io — now in the Staq Transformation, with Groups and Single Staq Giving delivered and AI Involvement Summary, Staq Data Lake, and Process Queues on the roadmap through September 2026.

FlowLeed

A church-intelligence platform that layers pastoral care on top of your existing ChMS. Surfaces who needs follow-up, who's drifting, and what next step to take via an AI assistant, visual discipleship Flows, and a free Church Health Report diagnostic. Planning Center integration is live; Pushpay, Subsplash, Tithe.ly, and Rock are on the roadmap.

Parable

A church reporting and analytics platform that connects to Planning Center via nightly sync across all modules, providing automated dashboards, AI-powered natural language data queries (with answers that name individual people), giving and attendance forecasting, a modelled SQL data warehouse with BI-tool integration, and a Chrome extension that overlays engagement badges on Planning Center profiles — helping pastors be Spirit-led and data-driven, with a strict never-sell-never-train-on-AI data stance.
