Unisoft vs ShulCloud

What actually changes when a community moves from ShulCloud to Unisoft — fees, features, and the migration path.

Where the other option fits

ShulCloud focuses on synagogue operations: member records, a Jewish calendar and a website, with billing and fundraising varying by tier. It suits teams that want this synagogue-specific suite.

When to evaluate Unisoft

Compare your existing member portal, billing, seating and school workflows in both demos. Unisoft is worth evaluating if you want community CRM, finance and optional Tourism together; equivalent seating or school workflows must be demonstrated before replacing them.

Compare the full cost

Compare the same period, currency, donation volume and channels: subscription + platform commission + processor fees + paid modules + setup or migration. International Essential uses Stripe and adds 2.6% Unisoft commission; Unlimited / Full have 0% Unisoft commission. French plans have their own terms. Processor fees remain separate in every case.

Why communities make the switch

  • 0% Unisoft commission on Unlimited; subscription and processor fees remain payable
  • Receipt settings depend on your organization’s eligibility and the applicable tax regime
  • A CRM built for Jewish life: families, Yahrzeit and the Hebrew calendar
  • Yossi, Unisoft’s AI assistant, works inside the software on Unlimited / Full plans
  • Tourism Extension for tourist Beth Habad — included in Unlimited

Migration assistance starts with a review of your exports: contacts, households, payment history and open pledges. Agree the mapping, a trial import, balances and cutover date before switching. Recurring payment credentials may require a separate provider process.
