ChurchCMS is a free, open-source church management platform (MIT license, built on Laravel and Vue.js) developed by GegoSoft, a company based in Madurai, India. It supports GCash and Maya giving and ships a free Android app, but is self-hosted — churches either run it on their own server or pay GegoSoft for managed hosting ($29/month) or a one-time paid setup ($99). Its published materials describe donation tracking but no chart of accounts or general ledger. StewardTrack is built and supported in the Philippines, is fully managed with nothing to host or maintain, processes giving through Xendit (GCash, Maya, QR Ph, card, bank transfer), and includes a built-in finance module — chart of accounts, bank accounts, transactions, and reporting — designed for church treasurers.

StewardTrack is a fully managed platform built and supported in the Philippines — with Xendit-powered giving (GCash, Maya, QR Ph, card, bank transfer) and a built-in finance module — while ChurchCMS is free but self-hosted software from a developer based in India, with no documented accounting module. If your church would rather not run its own server, StewardTrack handles hosting, updates, and support for you.
Self-hosting ChurchCMS is free under its MIT open-source license — you only pay for your own server. GegoSoft, the developer, also offers optional managed hosting at $29/month or a one-time $99 setup fee covering installation, migration, and admin training.
Yes. ChurchCMS's giving module supports GCash and Maya, so Filipino members can give in pesos through the app or the church's website.
ChurchCMS's published documentation describes automatic donation tracking, but we did not find a chart of accounts, general ledger, or treasurer-reporting module. StewardTrack ships a built-in finance module — chart of accounts, bank accounts, transactions, and reports — designed for church treasurers.
ChurchCMS is developed by GegoSoft, a company based in Madurai, India. Self-hosted installs rely on community forum support and documentation; the paid managed-hosting and setup plans include direct email support from GegoSoft.
ChurchCMS stores your data on your own server, so export your member and giving records and import them into StewardTrack during onboarding. Our team can help scope the migration during a discovery call.
