What is Ibada Cloud?
Ibada Cloud is a church management platform: members, branches, activities, assets, and full accounting, with explicit per-branch permissions and Rafiki, an assistant that answers your questions inside the app.
Who is Ibada Cloud designed for?
Ibada Cloud is designed for churches, parishes, branches, ministries, and church organizations that want to manage their operations more clearly and efficiently.
Can I try Ibada Cloud before paying?
Yes. Churches can start with a free trial to explore the platform and see if it fits their needs before choosing a paid plan.
Can I manage multiple branches?
Yes. You tell us at setup whether your church has one site or several. Each branch keeps its own books, and leadership keeps the parish-wide view.
Can I import members from Excel?
Yes. Drop in your Excel file: we read your columns, propose how they map onto Ibada Cloud's fields, and show you the result before anything is written.
Can I record offerings, tithes, donations, and expenses?
Yes. Ibada Cloud keeps real accounting: chart of accounts, restricted funds, budgets, pledges, reconciliation and year-end close. Entries are immutable — a correction creates a reversal, the history is never rewritten.
Can we control what each user can access?
Yes. Ibada Cloud includes permissions and access control so each user only sees and manages what they are allowed to access.
How do I pay for Ibada Cloud?
During the trial no payment method is asked of you — no card, no Mobile Money. For what comes after, write to us and we'll agree on the arrangement that suits your country.
Who owns our church data?
Your church owns its data. Ibada Cloud provides the platform to securely manage and organize it.
Why should we use Ibada Cloud instead of Excel and WhatsApp groups?
Excel and WhatsApp are useful, but nothing in them guarantees the number you are reading is the right one. Ibada Cloud brings members, finance, activities, and assets into one place, with entries that cannot be rewritten and a log of who did what, when.
