The app brings church giving, calendars, check-ins, communications, and media together on mobile. The free plan covers core access, while the branded option is listed at $149 a month.

It suits churches and faith-based organizations looking to provide members, visitors, or volunteers with mobile access to giving, check-ins, calendars, groups, and sermon media. A branded option is available for organizations seeking a custom-branded app.

ChurchSoftware.com Mobile App is a mobile hub for church members, visitors, and volunteers, combining participation, communication, and media in one place. It fits churches and related nonprofits that want broad app access without a subscription, while organizations that want their own identity can pay for a branded edition. The key decision is whether custom branding justifies a recurring $149 monthly commitment.

Overview

The app is built for everyday congregation activity rather than a single task. Members can give, check schedules, join groups, receive announcements, check in children, and consume sermons from iOS or Android devices. That breadth makes it a practical front door for churches with an active calendar and regular member communications.

ChurchSoftware.com says its core platform is free for 501(c)3 churches, parachurch organizations, nonprofits, and mission organizations. There is no free trial, so eligible organizations start with the free offering rather than a time-limited evaluation. Email support typically replies within 1–2 business days. The company uses reasonable measures to protect personal information, while acknowledging that absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Key features

Giving and participation

Digital giving supports tithes, offerings, and special gifts in a few taps. It is useful when a church wants giving alongside its broader member experience; a congregation seeking only donation processing may find the wider app scope unnecessary. Calendars show upcoming services, events, and groups, giving members one place to keep track of activities.

Family check-ins and communication

Mobile check-ins are aimed at families and described as quick and secure. Push notifications and direct updates give churches a way to reach app users with timely information. These tools matter most for organizations that frequently adjust schedules or need dependable reminders beyond a static website.

Sermons and media

Users can stream or replay sermons and view or share video and audio content. Combined with group access and a sermon library, that turns the app into a recurring destination after services, not merely a giving form.

Pricing

The free Church Mobile App is the strongest fit for eligible organizations that can accept the standard presentation and need core access across both mobile platforms. It covers the central member functions without a monthly app charge, but it does not provide the stated custom-branded option. The Branded Mobile App suits a church that considers its own app identity important and will actively use giving, check-ins, messaging, calendars, and events; $149/mo is a meaningful ongoing cost for smaller congregations.

Platforms

The app supports Android and iOS, covering the two major mobile ecosystems. No web platform is identified for this mobile app.

Who it's for

It is designed for churches, faith-based nonprofits, parachurch organizations, and mission organizations, particularly those needing one channel for members, visitors, volunteers, families, and sermon audiences. It is less compelling for an organization that wants only a narrowly focused giving or media tool, or that cannot justify a branded-app subscription.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad member coverage: Giving, events, groups, check-ins, notifications, and media address several recurring church needs.
• Free core access: Eligible organizations can provide events, sermons, giving, groups, and more without a monthly app subscription.
• Two mobile platforms: Android and iOS support avoids limiting access to one device ecosystem.
• Branding option: Churches can move to a custom-branded app when presentation and ownership matter.

Cons

• Branded cost: The custom option is $149 a month, which may outweigh its value for smaller churches.
• No trial: Organizations cannot use a time-limited trial before committing to the available setup.
• Security is not absolute: The company does not guarantee complete security, a relevant consideration for services involving personal information and giving.

Alternatives

For a broader shortlist, see Church App Builders.

• Appy Pie Church App Maker is a better fit when web support, unlimited edits and preview, and a free trial matter; store publishing requires a paid plan.
• Choicely Church App suits teams that value unlimited collaborators, public apps, push notifications, and a credit-based free plan.
• ChurchPlan is worth choosing when unlimited members, automated tax receipts, donation links, and a personalized app are priorities under a free-forever plan.
• Subsplash Church App is an alternative for organizations considering a free giving tier with card and ACH processing fees or an enterprise arrangement.
• Parish Connect is a free option for parishes seeking a branded iOS and Android app with onboarding, training, and ongoing maintenance.
• SermonAudio Church App fits SermonAudio broadcasters eligible for the free ChurchOne App, while broadcaster accounts start at $59.95 a month.

• Churza is another free Android and iOS church-app option.

Verdict

Choose ChurchSoftware.com Mobile App if your church or eligible nonprofit wants free access to a wide set of member functions, especially giving, scheduling, check-ins, communication, groups, and sermons. Its main reason to look elsewhere is the $149/mo branded tier: organizations that need custom identity but have a tight budget, or that require only one specialized function, may find a narrower alternative more appropriate.
