  • Each has a real cost: Gloo churches are not the paying customer, so the product roadmap answers to ministries, funders and campaign buyers whose interests do not always match a local congregation.; Muslim Pro excessive advertisements: despite claiming only 3 ads per day, the app continues showing ads beyond that limit, preventing access to Quran and prayer times
  • They diverge on capability: Gloo covers Gloo Workspace, Muslim Pro covers Prayer Times.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Gloo

  • Churches are not the paying customer, so the product roadmap answers to ministries, funders and campaign buyers whose interests do not always match a local congregation.
  • Participation routes congregant and enquirer interactions through a commercial data network, and a church board should have the data terms reviewed before enrolling a congregation rather than after.
  • It is not a church management system: there is no membership database, giving ledger, child check-in or rostering, so it sits alongside an existing ChMS rather than replacing one.
  • Free message credits are capped monthly, and a church that builds its weekly communications on texting will exceed them and move to paid volume where the effective cost is comparable to dedicated messaging vendors.
  • The company has grown by acquiring more than twenty brands, and integrating that many products takes time, so overlap and inconsistency between the acquired tools is visible to users.

Muslim Pro

  • Excessive advertisements: despite claiming only 3 ads per day, the app continues showing ads beyond that limit, preventing access to Quran and prayer times
  • Technical glitches: force closures and malfunctioning features including Quran recitation freezing and verses that won't play
  • Paywall for advanced features: some advanced features are locked behind expensive subscription fees
  • Limited iPad functionality: app doesn't support landscape mode problematic for iPad Pro users, and iOS widget missing sunrise time
  • Privacy concerns: reports and concerns regarding the app's handling of personal data and privacy issues

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Gloo: Is this the same as Gloo Gateway the API product?

No. This is gloo.com, the faith sector data and AI platform. Gloo Gateway is an unrelated API gateway product from a different company.

Muslim Pro: Can you access the full Quran in Muslim Pro?

Yes, Muslim Pro provides access to all 114 chapters of the Quran with audio by world-renowned reciters and comprehensive translations in English and many other languages with word-for-word definitions.

Source
Gloo: Why is it free for churches?

Because churches are not the revenue source. Ministries, publishers, philanthropists and campaign funders pay to reach and measure engagement with the audience the network reaches.

Muslim Pro: What is Qalbox in Muslim Pro?

Qalbox is a video streaming platform within Muslim Pro launched in 2022 offering Quranic recitations, tafsir, hadith studies, Arabic lessons, expert discussions on faith and spiritual wellbeing, and documentaries celebrating Muslim culture.

Source
Gloo: Does it replace our church management software?

No. There is no membership ledger, giving records, check-in or volunteer rostering. Keep your ChMS.

Muslim Pro: Does Muslim Pro work offline?

Some features require internet connection. The app does not have full offline capabilities, which could be limiting for users in areas with poor connectivity or limited data plans.

Source
Gloo: What happens to data about people who contact us through Explorer?

That is the question to put in writing to Gloo before joining. Enquirer data flows through a commercial network, and the governing terms should be reviewed by whoever advises your board.
