| Fact | ChurchCMS | SimpleServ |
|---|---|---|
| Intended users | ChurchCMS says it was designed for small and medium churches and has no minimum congregation size. | The product is aimed at small churches and volunteer coordinators who need to schedule teams without a larger church operating platform. |
| Security | Official material states SSL support, bcrypt password hashing, managed-hosting backups and security monitoring; it also claims GDPR-oriented data ownership. | The privacy policy says church data is separated using database-level row-level security and encrypted in transit. |
| Support | Support is offered through email and WhatsApp, GitHub discussions/issues and optional installation or managed-hosting services. | The site says the Settings support button messages the founder, and the About page identifies Cody Woodlee as the builder. |
