Fellowr

Fellowr is a church management platform for organizing members, giving, events, forms, expenses, visitor follow-ups, and AI-powered insights. Its directory supports church-defined fields, with birthday and anniversary reminders for administrators. Forms can use conditional logic and provide per-form analytics. Event tools include recurring events, ticket types, registration forms, QR check-in, and attendee exports. Online giving is processed through Paystack and settles to the church's verified bank account; Fellowr says it takes no percentage of donations. Paid event tickets carry a 3% Fellowr fee capped at ₦500 per ticket, paid by attendees, with Paystack fees charged separately. Jo, its assistant, answers questions about a church's own data and is described as read-only; the site says contact details are not sent to the model. Fellowr is available on Android, iOS, and web. Its mobile app lets members read the Bible without an account. The Free plan has no member cap, but metered allowances, a monthly online-giving limit, and one active event with free tickets only. The first paid plan begins with 14 free days and a one-time ₦100 card verification, once per church.

Fellowr is aimed at church administrators, pastors, senior leaders, and small and mid-sized churches. It may suit churches managing member records, giving, and event registration in one platform.

Fellowr is a church-management platform that brings member records, donations, events and administration into one system. It fits pastors, administrators and senior leaders in small and mid-sized churches that want web access alongside mobile apps. The free entry point is useful, but usage meters, giving limits and ticket charges should shape your buying decision.

Overview

Fellowr combines member management, giving, events, forms, expenses, visitor follow-ups and AI-powered insights. That breadth can replace a collection of narrowly focused tools and gives church staff one place to work. The no-cost tier has no member cap, yet its metered allowances, monthly online-giving ceiling and restriction to one active event with free tickets only make it better for lighter activity than for a busy events calendar.

Key features

Member care and forms

The directory accepts church-defined fields, so administrators can record information specific to their congregation rather than forcing every church into the same template. Birthday and anniversary reminders are sent to church admins; that supports staff follow-up, but it is not described as a direct message to members.

Custom forms include conditional logic and per-form analytics. Those controls are valuable for visitor follow-up and registration workflows because respondents can see relevant questions and staff can review each form's performance instead of treating every submission alike.

Giving and events

Paystack processes online gifts and settles them into the church's own verified bank account. Fellowr takes no percentage of donations, although Paystack processing fees still apply, so the platform's zero-share promise does not mean fee-free giving.

Event management covers recurring events, ticket types, registration forms, QR check-in and attendee exports. That is a substantial workflow for churches running repeat services or conferences. Paid tickets carry a 3% Fellowr fee capped at ₦500 per ticket, paid by the attendee, with Paystack fees charged separately; churches should make that extra cost clear at checkout.

AI and safeguards

Jo answers questions about the church's own data and is described as read-only, which limits the risk of accidental changes. Fellowr says contact details are not sent to the model. Its policy describes bcrypt password hashing, HTTPS/TLS transmission and separation of church data by church ID. Innovelox Ltd. is registered with Nigeria's Data Protection Commission under NDPC/DCP/13396. Support is offered by email at [email protected], with the homepage stating that a person responds.

Pricing

Fellowr uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs free and is billed free forever. There is no member cap, but metered allowances apply, online giving has a monthly limit, and only one active event is allowed—and it must use free tickets. This is a sensible starting point for a small church validating its workflows, not a dependable fit for frequent paid events or substantial giving volume.

Starter has custom pricing and extends member limits while adding paid event ticketing. Choose it when the free tier's capacity is the main obstacle but you do not need the broadest package. Growth also uses custom pricing, with higher capacity, advanced features including AI-powered tools, and paid ticketing; it is the more natural step for growing operations that need those capabilities.

Pro is custom pricing with unlimited capacity, full platform features and paid event ticketing. It targets churches that cannot accept quotas. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance, and annual billing discounts the equivalent of two months free.

The first paid plan begins with a 14-day free trial and a one-time ₦100 card-verification charge. The trial is available once per church, so it is a short evaluation window rather than a repeatable testing option.

Platforms

Fellowr runs on the web and has iOS and Android apps. Members can read the Bible in the app without an account, while the broader platform serves church administration across desktop and mobile access.

Who it's for

Fellowr is aimed at church administrators, pastors and senior leaders, especially in small and mid-sized churches. It suits congregations wanting member-defined records, integrated giving and event registration in one product, and those comfortable moving to a paid tier as activity grows. Churches needing many simultaneous events or high giving volume should assess the free-plan ceilings early.

Pros and cons

Pros

• No member cap on the free plan, allowing a church to begin without a hard roster limit.
• Conditional forms, analytics, QR check-in and attendee exports cover practical registration and follow-up work.
• Fellowr takes no percentage of donations, while funds settle to the church's verified bank account.
• Web, iOS and Android access, plus a read-only data assistant, broaden staff and member access.

Cons

• Free usage is metered, giving has a monthly limit, and only one active free-ticket event is permitted.
• Paid tickets add a 3% fee capped at ₦500 per ticket, alongside Paystack fees.
• Paid-plan prices are custom, making budgeting harder before contacting Fellowr.
• The 14-day trial is once per church and includes a one-time ₦100 card verification.

Alternatives

Consider Floways if unlimited profiles, households, workflows, notes, tags and reporting on its free People plan matter more than Fellowr's event-focused tooling.

Subsplash Church App is a better direction for churches prioritizing a dedicated church app and a $0-per-month Giving plan, while card and ACH processing fees still apply.

Choose ChurchPlan when unlimited members, online giving with automated tax receipts and a personalized mobile app are the priority.

KingdomERP is another freemium option built specifically for modern ministries.

Planning Center suits churches wanting separate free modules such as Calendar and People, including unlimited database and reporting in People.

TimelyChurch is worth choosing when a clearly priced plan is preferable: its Free Forever tier supports up to 100 people, while Growth is $49 per month or $488 per year.

ChurchCMS fits churches that want self-hosting, with all six core modules and no usage limits on its free self-hosted plan.

ChurchSoftware.com Event Registration is a focused free option for 501(c)3 organizations needing event registration and forms without attendance-based feature caps.

Verdict

Fellowr is a strong match for a small or mid-sized church that wants member care, giving, forms and event operations together, with mobile access and no percentage taken from donations. Look elsewhere if your church needs multiple active events on a free plan, predictable published pricing, or consistently high ticket and giving volume; the caps, custom quotes and transaction charges become central to the decision.
