Five-minute assessment
Assess the likely fit and trade-offs
Directory assessment
Aurnet is a broad, newly incorporated UK platform that could appeal to churches seeking one connected app, website and administration surface. Its public product scope and live iOS release make it appropriate for a cautious pilot rather than a presumption of maturity. The central decision is whether the church can validate the sensitive workflows—giving, Gift Aid, pastoral notes, safeguarding, access roles, exports and migration—before moving operational records to a new supplier.
