The goal of choir management software is simple: instead of using numerous tools to manage your chorus (spreadsheets, [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/home), [Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/), [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/us/home), more spreadsheets, etc.), you should be able to **manage everything in one place**. Which begs the question...

 

## What Does Choir Management Software Actually Do?

Specific features vary from vendor to vendor, but here are some of the most common:
