Questions churches ask
ChurchTrac is cheap — why would we move?
ChurchTrac is genuinely good value, and if it's working for you there's no rush. Churches move to Shepherdly for the things it adds: an actively-developed, mobile-first interface, an AI assistant that helps draft messages, giving that flows fee-free through your own Stripe account, and AUD billing from an Australian team. Same simplicity, a more modern day-to-day.
How do we bring our data across?
ChurchTrac exports People, Contributions and Attendance as CSV. Download those and import them on Shepherdly's People → Import and Giving → Import pages — columns are auto-mapped and you preview before anything is written.
Does giving history come too?
Yes — export your Contributions from ChurchTrac and import them on the Giving page. Donors are matched by email and your totals and statements carry on.
What does it cost?
From $20 AUD/month with every feature on every plan, plus a 14-day free trial. No setup fee, no platform fee on giving, full CSV export forever.
