9 top church management platforms ranked by feature breadth, pricing, ease of use, and modern tooling.
Disclosure: we make MosesTab. It's included in this list, and we have an obvious interest in it. Details about other platforms come from each vendor's own public website; check them with the vendor before you decide.
Church management software (ChMS) covers member directories, online giving, events, check-in, volunteer scheduling, communications, and reporting — typically replacing a stack of spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected tools. The category in 2026 is crowded, ranging from long-established products to platforms launched in the last few years.
Most evaluations come down to four questions: feature breadth (one platform or several specialized apps), pricing model (flat or usage-based), deployment (web, desktop or hosted), and newer tooling (such as workflow automation). The "right" choice depends on your church's size, budget, and how central each feature is to weekly operations.
This ranking covers 9 platforms churches commonly consider, drawn from the most-searched church software brand terms in 2026. Facts about each platform come from that vendor's own website.
At-a-glance pricing and positioning for every platform on this list. Prices reflect each vendor's published pricing; custom-quote vendors don't publish rates.

Each platform was evaluated on feature breadth, pricing transparency, ease of self-serve setup, and fit for different church sizes. Pricing figures and feature descriptions come from each vendor's own website, checked in September 2026; where a vendor does not publish pricing, we say so. MosesTab is ranked #1 because it combines all-in-one feature breadth with published, flat pricing — but churches with specific needs (e.g. dedicated worship planning or formal fund accounting) should compare the specialist platforms further down the list.
All-in-one church management software
MosesTab combines member management, giving, events, email and SMS, workflow automation, video meetings and a stage timer in one platform, with child check-in on Pro and multi-campus support on Enterprise. Flat per-church pricing ($0/$39/$99/$199) makes budgeting predictable as the church grows.
Church software products for people, services, giving, check-ins and more
Planning Center sells separate products — People, Services, Giving, Check-Ins, Groups, Calendar, Registrations and Publishing — each with a free tier and monthly paid tiers based on usage. Services covers worship planning, song transposition and volunteer scheduling, and People and the Church Center app are always free.
Church management software, now Tithely Church Management
Breeze ChMS, now Tithely Church Management, publishes one plan at $72/mo with unlimited users and people. It includes check-in, volunteer scheduling, service planning, automation, email and text messaging, and online giving.
Church giving, church management, apps and websites
Tithe.ly offers free giving (online, app, text and kiosk) with standard processing fees, plus paid Church Management (formerly Breeze ChMS), a custom church app and Sites. Its All Access bundle is $119/mo.
All-in-one church management platform
ChMeetings has a free plan for up to 50 people, and paid plans from $12/mo (up to 100 people) to $60/mo (unlimited). Every plan includes a member portal, church app, check-in and contribution tracking, with accounting and worship planning from the Small plan up.
All-in-one church management software for small and mid-sized churches
ChurchTrac is one all-inclusive plan priced by the number of names tracked, from $29/mo for 75 names to $119/mo for unlimited. Every size includes people, fund accounting, giving, a website and app, check-in, worship planning and automations.
Church app, website, giving, media and church management platform
Subsplash One combines a custom-branded mobile and TV app, website, giving, media and church management in one platform. Subsplash says Subsplash One pricing is based on church size and usage, and Subsplash Giving is available at $0/mo.
Church giving, church management and church app platform
Pushpay combines church giving (web, app, text and kiosk), Pushpay ChMS (formerly Church Community Builder) and custom church apps, with multi-site tools in its Complete package. Pushpay does not publish pricing; it shares pricing through a demo.
Church management software with integrated giving
Servant Keeper, founded in 1994, offers Core at $79.99/mo and Complete at $159.99/mo. Complete adds email, text-to-give, SMS, a website, an app and live streaming, and includes white-glove data transfer.
Feature breadth versus depth. Most churches don't need enterprise depth in any single area, but they do need a platform that handles members, giving, events, check-in, communications, and reporting without forcing them to glue together multiple subscriptions. The two failure modes are buying too little (and outgrowing it in 18 months) and buying too much (and paying for enterprise features the team never uses).
For churches with simple needs, a free plan can cover the essentials. MosesTab has a free plan, and ChMeetings has a free plan for up to 50 people. For mid-size churches, free plans usually have caps on members, giving, or features that make them a temporary stop. The real question is whether the paid plan you'd grow into is good value, not whether the free tier is functional.
Published prices vary. ChMeetings has a free plan and paid plans from $12/mo, ChurchTrac starts at $29/mo, Breeze publishes one plan at $72/mo, and Servant Keeper Core is $79.99/mo. Planning Center prices each product separately, with free tiers and paid tiers from $15/mo. Some platforms, including Pushpay, do not publish pricing. MosesTab has a free plan, Growth at $39/month and Pro at $99/month.
Yes — almost all platforms support CSV exports for members, giving, and groups. The complications are usually around recurring giving (donors must re-authorize on the new platform due to PCI rules) and any custom workflows or integrations. Most migrations finish in a few hours of data work plus a few weeks of donor re-authorization.
MosesTab has a permanently free plan, and ChMeetings has a free plan for up to 50 people. Planning Center's People app is always free and its other products have free tiers, and Tithe.ly offers free giving. Breeze and ChurchTrac offer 30-day free trials. Pushpay shares pricing through a demo. A permanently free plan is the lowest-risk way to evaluate — you can test at your own pace with your real data.
Export everything from your current system as CSV (members, families, groups, giving history), map the fields to the new platform's import template, and verify record counts match after import. Keep the old system in read-only mode for a month or two as a safety net. The one thing that cannot be exported is recurring giving authorizations — card networks require donors to re-authorize on the new platform, so plan a 2–4 week re-authorization campaign. Some vendors offer assisted migration; for example, Servant Keeper includes white-glove data transfer on its Complete plan.
Look for attendance-trend dashboards, first-time visitor tracking, giving-pattern reports, and engagement scoring. Full ChMS platforms (MosesTab, Planning Center, Pushpay ChMS) report across membership, attendance, and giving together, which is where trend insight actually comes from. Giving data is most useful when it sits next to attendance data.
For most first-time buyers, a flat-priced all-in-one plan covers what a church under 500 needs. MosesTab Growth is $39/month and includes email, SMS, text-to-give and automation workflows; child check-in starts on Pro at $99/month. ChMeetings Small is $25/mo for up to 250 people, and Breeze publishes one plan at $72/mo. Compare how each price changes as your church grows before you commit.
