OneApp, Social Network and Online Church Directory, Goes Free (Literally)!

Is your church looking for a "social networking solution?  Check out the following post from ChurchCrunch.

OneBody just recently announced that they are releasing their most stable version ever, v1.0, to the wild, and one of the best things about it is they’re offering a free-version to download on your own server and run!

Most excellent.

And seriously, when they mean open source it appears that they really mean it. Just look at their pricing model (they have a paid service to support those that can’t host it on their own): onebody_pricing

The “free” version doesn’t hold anything back! I love how they’re giving it all away.

Besides the awesomesauce of open source the platform looks pretty stable and robust, giving everything you’d probably expect in a church social network and online directory.

Some of the newer features mentioned:

  • Online Directory with AJAX live search, pop-up previews, printable PDF, and more.
  • Groups with full email functionality (incoming and outgoing), pictures, prayer requests, attendance tracking, and more.
  • Social Networking with friends, messaging, favorites, advanced privacy controls, and much more.
  • Membership Management with import and export and unlimited custom fields. Use OneBody as a ChMS or sync with an external source.
  • Newly revamped home pages that show friend/group activity.
  • Newly revamped profile pages with easier content sharing.
  • Newly revamped group pages.
  • Lots of refinement to admin, group editing, profile editing, and app-wide refinements.
  • Increased page load time.

Seriously, if you’re in the market for something like this, you can’t beat free and the offering looks good.

I’d love to hear some testimonials! Knocking it out!
