Chose Realm
Realm, from my vantage point, has more ways to engage the community. It allows for planning and scheduling, but has a dashboard which allows the congregation to see ways they can connect and get involved in the community. Having graphics and links available is key for people …

Realm is a user-friendly, intuitive web-based database manager, great for church membership and financial information. Transitioning was easy--even our 90-year old attendance volunteer made the switch with ease. The customer service staff at Realm is fantastic. As I mentioned before, my one big complaint is the inability to pull a report with children outputted on the same row in excel as their parents.

Our transition to Realm was fantastic. We had a rep do two days of training with staff. She also provided us with a step-by-step plan for our rollout to the congregation. In addition to the fabulous customer service team, the "help" section of the Realm website is useful--it includes written answers and also video tutorials/webinars. The search function in the help section is built effectively.

It has a good document so a new developer can read and understand and apply it to the project. SQLite is old and not so easy to understand. we need to add a third-party library to easily use SQLite.
