Every Feature You Expect Except the Hefty Price Tag
We didn't reinvent church software. We just made it make sense. All the core tools are here — people management, online giving, event registration, check-ins, worship planning, scheduling, accounting, insights, and more — built to handle real ministry, not just Sunday logistics.

The tools you need to lead, connect, and grow — all in one place.
Our core tools are always free to use. From people and families to giving, worship, volunteers, and events — ChurchSoftware makes it simple to manage every part of ministry. Available in 7 languages, we cover over 3.5 billion people across the globe.
People Management
Track your members, families, visitors, and anyone else who steps foot in your church (or your inbox). Add notes, assign roles, and keep everything organized.

Online Giving
Let your church give online — one-time, recurring, or text-to-give with a card or ACH. And you have the option for all transaction fees to be paid for by the giver, meaning your church receives 100% of the tithe or offering.

Event Registration
Sign people up, cap attendance, collect details, and send reminders. Even charge $5 for those extra tee-shirts if needed. Finally, a registration system that feels built for churches, not some clunky corporate seminar.

Kids Check-in
Keep Sunday mornings safe, smooth, and semi-sane. Secure check-ins, printed tags, pickup codes — plus automatic allergy alerts, because goldfish crackers can be risky business.

Custom Forms
Create forms for anything: retreats, prayer requests, mission trips, student camp, potlucks, baptism sign-ups. Drag. Drop. Done. (Just don’t use it to plan the church chili cook-off. Too controversial.)

We do offer some add-ons for a cost. But we don't force you to pay for what you don't want or need.
Having a comprehensive Church Management Software means making features available that, unfortunately, come with unavoidable costs — like payroll fees, background checks, web hosting, and mobile infrastructure. These aren't "premium upgrades." They're just the few areas where outside vendors send us real bills.
Use what you need. Don’t use what you don’t. It’s that simple.
So here are the few features that aren’t free (and why):
Background Checks
Not free — because safety matters and screening costs money. Run background checks for staff and volunteers directly through the platform. It's fast, secure, and integrated.

Payroll
Not free — because banks charge to move money. Run payroll in all 50 states right from your dashboard without needing a separate service or a calculator that makes you sweat. Taxes? Taken care of. Direct deposit? Obviously.

Websites
Not free — because servers and domains aren’t free either. Our team will kickstart your journey by setting up core pages and adding your logo and brand colors. Then we'll hand you the keys to our intuitive drag-and-drop editor, empowering you to personalize and manage your very own website with ease.

Branded Mobile App
Not free — because Apple and Google don’t do ministry discounts. Give your church a mobile app they’ll actually use — for giving, check-ins, communication, calendars, events, and more.
