Switching from ChurchSuite to MosesTab

UK-native ChMS with Gift Aid, Bacs DD, and PCC governance included

Most UK churches complete the switch in under 60 minutes; plan a parallel quarter for Gift Aid verification

Why churches switch from ChurchSuite

ChurchSuite is solid for the UK. MosesTab consolidates UK-specific features — HMRC Gift Aid CSV, Bacs Direct Debit, Electoral Roll, PCC governance, GDPR data-subject-request workflows — into the base plan instead of add-ons.
Bacs Direct Debit collection at Bacs interchange rates (instead of card fees) is included. Many UK churches reduce processing costs significantly after switching.
Modern web-first interface plus AI Media Studio, social scheduling, and workflow automation — features ChurchSuite doesn't include.
Your member, household, and donation data exports cleanly from ChurchSuite to CSV.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Gift Aid claims work the same way?

MosesTab generates the HMRC Charities Online Gift Aid CSV in the schedule format HMRC expects. You upload it through the Government Gateway just like before. The difference is that MosesTab tracks each donor's active declaration automatically rather than requiring a separate spreadsheet.

Does MosesTab integrate with Bacs?

Yes. MosesTab supports Bacs Direct Debit collection at Bacs interchange rates (typically £0.20–£0.50 per transaction) instead of card processing fees. For recurring giving from active members, this is a meaningful cost reduction over card-based giving.

What about ChurchSuite's add-on modules?

Many ChurchSuite features that require add-ons or extra modules — Bacs DD, advanced reports, external integrations — are included in MosesTab's base plan. The modules you'll see real differences on are Gift Aid CSV generation, Electoral Roll, and PCC governance, where MosesTab is more deeply integrated.
