Churchory vs Subsplash

What's the difference between Churchory and Subsplash?

Subsplash is strongest at a church's public presence: custom-branded mobile and TV apps, websites with a drag-and-drop builder, and media hosting and live streaming, which Subsplash calls "the original media hosting and sermon player for churches" (Subsplash, verified as of 2026-10-06). Its Subsplash One plan adds church management (people, events, groups and messaging, volunteering, check-in and service planning), and is priced "based on church size and usage," with no price published (Subsplash pricing).

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. Each Churchory product is $99 a year (a $201 saving on paying monthly) or $25 a month. Churchory One (every product, every future product and your church's own branded app) is $599 a year, saving $949, or $129 a month. No contracts, cancel any month, prices in USD, and no people-count tiers.

Put simply: Subsplash started with apps and media and grew into church management; Churchory started with the people directory and the work of running a church week to week, and gives every church a free member app.

What does Churchory replace for a church?

Churchory replaces the four to six separate tools many churches juggle (a directory, groups, events and registration, kids check-in, chat, newsletters, giving and a church app) with one platform and one directory, so nobody enters the same family twice. Fewer tools means fewer subscriptions, fewer logins and fewer admin hours spent keeping lists in sync.

• Core is free forever: the people directory, families, roles and permissions, church-wide email and push, and the Churchory web, mobile and Mac apps.
• No platform fee on giving: Churchory takes no percentage of gifts. Gifts run through your church's own Stripe account, so only Stripe's processing fees apply.
• Free, staff-run migration: our team moves your people, groups and attendance history for you.
• Your own branded app in the App Store and Google Play with Churchory One.
• Support from the people who build it: a husband-and-wife team, not a ticket queue.
• Pricing that fits a budget line: $99 a year per product, or $599 a year for everything with Churchory One. Churchory One is the better deal from the seventh product on yearly billing.

If you pay for a separate check-in tool, chat app and newsletter tool today, add up what those cost and compare it with $99 a year per product or $599 a year for everything.

If you're getting a Subsplash quote, ask what's included for a church your size, how the price changes as you grow and how long the contract runs, so you know exactly what you're committing to.

Who should choose Subsplash?

Subsplash is the better fit if your church:

• Puts sermon media, podcasting and live streaming at the center of its ministry.
• Wants a TV app as well as a phone app.
• Needs a polished website builder today.
• Has a large or multi-campus setup that needs Enterprise features such as custom API integrations.

Who should choose Churchory?

Churchory is the better fit if your church:

• Wants to see the price before talking to anyone: $599 a year for Churchory One, or $99 a year per product.
• Cares more about the week-to-week work than media: groups, Sunday serving and check-in, kids, care.
• Wants a 45-day trial with no card and no sales call.
• Would use chat, congregational voting or live Q&A.

Many churches keep their sermon media where it is and use Churchory for people, groups and Sundays.

How do I move from Subsplash to Churchory?

Moving is free. Subsplash isn't one of the named systems on our migration form yet, so choose "Something else" and send us your exports; our team takes it from there. Churchory's team moves your data for free: people and households, groups and leaders, upcoming events, serving teams, documents, and up to two years of attendance history. Giving ledgers stay with your giving provider, and nobody gets an invite email until you say go.

To do it yourself, export your people and attendance as spreadsheets and use Churchory's people CSV import and the generic spreadsheet history import. If you'd rather do it yourself, an admin can import people from a CSV (first and last name, email, phone, birthday, allergies and notes, matched column by column), and import past attendance and serving history from a CSV or Excel file. History imports are past records only (nobody is messaged), and an import can be undone afterwards. See switching to Churchory for the steps.

How do you move from Subsplash to Churchory?

Subsplash is not a named source on the free migration form; choose "Something else" and send exports. Staff-run migration moves people and households, groups and leaders, upcoming events, serving teams, documents and up to two years of attendance history (giving ledgers stay with your giving provider). Self-serve: people CSV import and the generic spreadsheet history preset. Sermon media is not migrated.
