How price compares
ChurchCRM focuses on cost transparency and long-term ownership, unlike many subscription church management tools.
| Category | ChurchCRM | Typical subscription ChMS |
|---|---|---|
| Software license | $0 (open source) | Monthly or annual subscription |
| User seats | Unlimited by design | Often increases with user count |
| Data ownership | Church-owned | Vendor-controlled platform |
| Hosting options | Self-host or affordable managed hosting | Usually vendor-hosted only |
| Contract lock-in | None | Common with paid plans |
A modern interface, a powerful platform
ChurchCRM 7.x is the most significant update in the project's history, shipping a complete interface redesign alongside major new capabilities.
Modern Interface (7.1.0)
Rebuilt from the ground up with Tabler and Bootstrap 5. Clean layouts, dark mode, per-user accent colors, and a fully responsive design for tablets and desktops.
Plugin Ecosystem
Install community-approved plugins directly from ChurchCRM. MailChimp, OpenLP, Vonage SMS, and more — all audited for security and localization.
Zero-Config Maps
Interactive maps via OpenStreetMap — no Google account, no API key, no billing. Nominatim geocoding built in. Works immediately on every install.
Kiosk for All Groups
Self-service check-in kiosks now work with every group type — Bible studies, youth groups, committees, and more — not just Sunday School classes.
Export Hub
One central page for all data exports — member CSV, ChMeetings migration, database backup — with scheduled exports and a clean download history.
46 Languages
Community-contributed translations in 46 languages, with browser auto-detection, per-user locale overrides, and regional grouping to find your language fast.
