Is it really free? Like, actually free?

Yep. No fees, no trials, no “call sales” buttons. The core platform is 100% free — forever, for every 501(c)3 organization - church, parachurch, nonprofit, mission org - every one of them. Because we think every organization and ministry should have access to great tools, no matter the budget.
