What to watch for
- Paid prices are shown only in an interactive calculator, so the real monthly cost for a church of 100 has to be checked there.
- Free tiers are limited per app, for example 10 daily check-ins and 15 group members, and they add up when you use several apps.
- No built-in accounting was confirmed on the page.
