Where OurChurchCare Is Different
Your whole team is included, at one price.
Notebird prices per user, so the cost grows as your care team grows. OurChurchCare includes multiple users in every plan (up to 5, up to 20, or unlimited), so adding deacons does not raise your bill.
Built around one question: who has not been reached.
OurChurchCare centers on a care-coverage dashboard that automatically flags families who are overdue for contact. Logging a call or visit takes about 15 seconds.
A longer runway to decide.
30 days free, no credit card required, compared with a 14-day trial. You should have enough time to actually use it with your care team before committing to anything.
Built by a pastor, with a Founding Cohort.
OurChurchCare was built by John Hicks, a pastor. Founding churches lock their price in for life and get a direct line to him. If you join the first 10 churches, you are not just a customer, you are a founding partner who helps shape what we build.
When Notebird May Be the Better Fit
Notebird has strong milestone tracking (birthdays, anniversaries, the passing of loved ones) and fast care reports. If detailed milestones and reporting are central to how you want to work, Notebird does those well. We focus more narrowly on care coverage and keeping a whole team coordinated affordably.
