We have collaborated closely with numerous church leaders to develop these core features based on their direct feedback and input. Unlike other providers, we offer a flat fee that does not increase based on your church’s size. There’s no justifiable reason to raise prices due to larger congregations; while database costs might increase slightly, these are minimal, and we pass this cost directly to you without any markup. Additionally, our technology is designed to handle larger user bases without issues.
With our app, you can be confident that you’re getting the features you need at a stable price. If any service fees apply, they are clearly explained upfront. In our experience, these fees are minimal.
