The short version

  • Each has a real cost: IconCMO membership and accounting are priced as two separate subscriptions, so a church needing both pays for both; TouchPoint starts at 6000 USD annually, priced per active record (a household that donated once in 12 months or an individual who registered/attended twice) rather than a flat per-seat tier
  • They diverge on capability: IconCMO covers Member Management, TouchPoint covers Membership Management.
