ChurchWindows on premisis
We have been using Church Windows for many years. We have not upgraded to cloud version due to cost. I am very interested in switching to a modern online CMS . Primary functions, membership, directory and donation tracking.

I moved it -- hope I didn't break it.
We switched to Breeze since it seemed to be the default, but it is $50/month so you can get a bit of sticker shock. I tried for a while to convert us over to https://churchcrm.io and it didn't go very well. I hosted it on a small instance on amazon web services, but it still ending up costing $25/month. The paid service was much nicer and they did the data migration for me. That kind of stuff takes time and my data entry skills are not the best. It also didn't take all the data we had in PowerChurch. Still, half the price and all I had to do was host it, so not too bad for a bargain option if you're really looking at cutting costs. However, given that it's PII on your server, I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't pretty well versed in cyber security. It's the Wild West out there and the outlaws have gotten weapons upgrades.
We've been happy with Breeze. Well, the bookkeeper still complains, but everyone else thinks it's great.
