When each one fits better
When Kyrios is the better choice
Your community is a Catholic parish and you need records of baptisms, weddings, confirmations and deaths. Catechesis and Mass intentions are at the heart of your work. You need to manage a curia: Kyrios has a plan for that.
When Brado makes more sense
Your church is evangelical and the focus is the Word, small groups and discipleship. You would rather pay month by month, with no annual commitment. You want the Bible, reading plans and WAP in the member app.
What Brado does differently
The Word at the centre: Bible, reading plans and WAP, built in. Modelo 25 and GDPR designed for Portugal, with data in the European Union. Public pricing in euros, 0% commission on donations and no lock-in.
What to ask any provider
What will it cost per month when the church grows? Is there a lock-in or a joining fee? How much do they keep from donations, on top of the payment processor’s fees? Where is the data kept and who handles it? Can I export everything if I want to leave?
