Churchy vs ChurchPlus
A church management platform for multi-branch African ministries, priced in the currency you use.
ChurchPlus is a Lagos-founded church management system that has been running since 2014, with contacts, attendance, contributions, events and multi-channel communication across SMS, email, voice and WhatsApp. It is now also incorporated in the US with Stripe, Flutterwave and PayPal support.
Churchy covers the same core ground but focuses on a few things churches often mention: pricing that appears automatically in your local currency, secure children check-in with printed tags, and finance and people records living together. Here is a fair look at both.
Where Churchy stands out
Pricing in your currency
Churchy auto-detects your country and shows plans in GHS, NGN, KES, ZAR or USD. There is a free plan to begin with, so you can try it before you commit.
Safe children check-in
Print a check-in tag with a pickup code and barcode for every child, giving parents and workers confidence that children are released only to the right person.
Finance built in
Manage income, expenses, vendors and budgets next to tithes and giving, so treasurers work in one place instead of juggling spreadsheets.
Denominational oversight
Run multiple services and branches with regional or denominational oversight, so church groups can see performance across every location.
Communication and giving in one platform
Churchy sends bulk SMS through Hellio Messaging to reach members quickly, and processes giving and tithes through Paystack with card, mobile money and bank transfer. First-timer follow-up, pastoral care, groups and events all sit alongside, so reaching out and recording the result happen in the same tool.
A single view of people and money
Because Churchy combines a member database, attendance, children check-in and a full finance module, leaders get one connected view of the church. Reports pull from live data, so you can see attendance trends and giving without exporting to a separate program.
