Frequently Asked Questions
Is MosesTab cheaper than Church Windows?
It depends on usage. For a tiny church running one Church Windows module on one PC with no cloud access, Church Windows' one-time licence can be cheaper over many years. For churches running multiple modules + cloud + annual support, MosesTab's flat $39 or $99/month is usually cheaper and includes more features.
Does MosesTab include payroll like Church Windows?
MosesTab does not include a full payroll module like Church Windows. Most churches that need payroll pair MosesTab with a dedicated payroll provider (Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll). Donations and member data live in MosesTab while payroll runs through software designed specifically for tax filing.
Can I keep Church Windows for accounting only?
Yes. Some churches keep Church Windows desktop running as a read-only archive for legacy accounting and payroll while using MosesTab for everyone-facing operations (members, giving, events, communications).
