Where it falls short
The iKnow Church subscription price is not readable on the pages we read, so budgeting needs a quote or demo. Two company names appear (iKnow Software Ltd and Edit Websites Ltd) and we did not confirm how they relate. The hosting location is not stated. ChurchSuite covers a similar scope for UK churches.
