Breeze alternatives for small and mid-size churches

Why do churches look for Breeze alternatives?

Breeze has a loyal following because it's simple and flat-priced. Churches that look around usually have one of these reasons:

• The brand is changing. Tithe.ly bought Breeze in 2021 and now says Breeze and Tithely are "one unified platform called Tithely Church Management" (Tithe.ly, verified as of 2026-10-06). A change like that is a natural moment to look at what else is out there.
• Worship planning is an add-on. Breeze Worship Tools is a paid add-on to the core plan (Breeze pricing).
• They want more for members. Some churches want chat, groups and announcements in an app members open every week, or their own app in the stores.

If Breeze is serving your church well, there's no need to move.

What should you look for in a Breeze alternative?

Keep the things you like about Breeze (simple screens and a flat price) and add what's missing. Ask:

1. Is the price still flat? Avoid trading a flat rate for tiers that rise with attendance.
2. Is worship planning included, or is it another add-on?
3. Is kids check-in included, with security labels your volunteers can print?
4. Will members actually use the app? Look for chat, groups and announcements in one place.
5. Can I bring my history? Attendance and volunteer records from Breeze should come with you.
6. Who answers when I need help? A real person who knows your church matters.

Where does Churchory fit?

Churchory is church management software for small and mid-size churches. Start free with Core (your people directory, families, roles and church-wide email and push), then add only the products you need, like groups, events, Sunday serving and check-in, kids, care, chat and voting, or get everything with Churchory One.

For a Breeze church, Churchory keeps pricing simple and puts the usual add-ons in one place. Each Churchory product is $99 a year, a $201 saving over paying $25 a month. Churchory One (every product, including every future product and your church's own branded app) is $599 a year, a $949 saving over paying $129 a month. Core is free forever, there are no contracts or people-count tiers, you can cancel any month, and prices are in USD. Churchory One includes the Sunday product (serving schedules, worship planning with ChordPro charts and live transpose, and Sunday check-in), plus Kids, Chat, Care and your church's own branded app.

Moving from Breeze is free. Churchory's history import has a Breeze preset for attendance and volunteer exports, and our team can move your people, households, groups and serving teams for you. Churchory is built and supported directly by a husband-and-wife team. See Churchory vs Breeze for the side-by-side table, and switching to Churchory for the steps.

Churchory isn't perfect for every Breeze church. If you rely on built-in texting today, know that Churchory's texting is still in beta.

How hard is it to switch away from Breeze?

Switching is less work than most churches expect, because Breeze exports the records you care about as spreadsheets. A sensible order looks like this:

1. Export your people. A CSV of names, emails and phones is enough to start; Churchory matches each column to the right field.
2. Export attendance and volunteer history from your events. Churchory's Breeze preset recognizes the usual Breeze column names, and you review a dry run before anything is saved.
3. Keep giving where it is for now. Past giving ledgers stay with your current provider, so year-end statements for past years still come from there.
4. Run a few Sundays side by side during the 45-day trial before you invite the whole church.

Or skip the steps and request a free migration: our team does the work, and nobody is invited until you say go.
