Frequently Asked Questions
For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We'll respond as soon as possible to assist you.
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.
How do you make money?
We do charge for a few things that cost us money — like background checks, branded mobile apps, websites, two-way texting, and payroll. But we do our best to keep those costs super fair and transparent, and we never lock you out of core features.
What's the catch?
Nope, no catch! Our goal is simple — to serve churches well. If you never pay us a dime, we’re still cheering you on.
Is this just a limited free tier?
Nope. This is the real deal. You get access to powerful tools — people management, groups, check-in, events, volunteer scheduling, worship planning, and more — right out of the gate.
Can I switch from my existing ChMS?
Yes! And we’ll even help. We make it easy to bring your people, groups, and events with you — minus the tears and spreadsheets.
Is this just for small churches?
Not at all. Whether you’re a church plant or a multi-site megachurch, the software scales with you. Free doesn’t mean flimsy.
