Pricing

Sooner or later, we get the question, "How much does CDM+ cost?"

Since we know that cost is a factor for almost all congregations, why don't we just post a complete price list and save ourselves a lot of time? It's certainly not because we think you might get sticker shock. We're proud that CDM+ is priced well below any other church management system with such a powerful set of features.

The reason we don't just publish a price list is that each CDM+ suite we sell is truly customized to the individual church's needs. You can buy one program or six, you can choose the Pro versions of our 3 core programs, or you can mix and match Standard and Pro versions. You can take advantage of our Data Hosting service, or you can host your own data; you can buy a single user license, or as many as 50 licenses or more; you can use CDM+ on a Windows or a Macintosh operating system, or even in a mixed environment with both. The options go on and on, but fortunately, the right system becomes apparent fairly quickly once we understand your situation and how you plan to use CDM+.

We want you to have all the features you need, but no more than you need. Our relationship with each CDM+ user is ongoing, and we know that as a satisfied user, you'll purchase more of our CDM+ family of products as your ministry grows and your needs change.

Though we can't tell you what suite of programs and services is best for your church without reviewing your situation, we can give you a few general guidelines.

We have 3 core programs—Membership/Attendance, Contributions and Fund Accounting—that come in both Standard and Pro versions. The Standard version of a single program costs $165. The Pro version of a single program costs $295. Membership/Attendance is one single program, Contributions is another single program and Fund Accounting is a third single program.

Our other programs are: Event Registration, Roommate Facilities Manager and Check-In/Check-Out. They only come in one version and are $295 each.

Example 1—Pro versions of core programs

Pro versions of all 3 core programs (Membership/Attendance, Contributions and Fund Accounting) = $695 for the software. As you can see, the total is less than 3 x $295—there is a discount for purchasing multiple programs at the same time.

Example 2—Standard versions of core programs

Standard versions of all 3 core programs (Membership/Attendance, Contributions and Fund Accounting) = $395. Again, the total is less than 3 x $165—there is a multi-program discount.

Example 3—Mix Pro and Standard core programs

Standard Membership/Attendance; Standard Contributions; Pro Fund Accounting = $475. Payroll is a feature of the Pro version of Accounting, so some churches that can use the Standard versions of Membership/Attendance and Contributions opt for the Pro version of Fund Accounting to get Payroll.

Example 4—Expand your suite beyond the core programs

Pro versions of all 3 core programs (Membership/Attendance, Contributions and Fund Accounting) plus Event Registration and Roommate Facilities Manager = $995 for the software only. The multi-program discount becomes quite significant with the purchase of 5 programs.
