Why switch

Where we’re different

Prices you can see

Every price is on our pricing page, and you can sign up without booking a demo. Subsplash quotes its platform by church size and usage.

Start for $0

Every solution has a free tier, not only giving, so a small church can run check-in, groups, and giving before it pays for anything.

Your app, priced up front

White-label puts your name and icon in the App Store and Google Play for $100 a month, and video and live streaming are add-ons with their own published prices.
