The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Church Community Builder churchcommunitybuilder.com now redirects entirely to pushpay.com, confirming the product has been folded into Pushpay's ChMS/ChurchStaq line (Core, Advanced, Complete tiers); Pushpay's own pricing page states all dollar figures are withheld until a demo request or phone call to 1-844-PUSHPAY.; IconCMO membership and accounting are priced as two separate subscriptions, so a church needing both pays for both
  • They diverge on capability: Church Community Builder covers Private Social Network, IconCMO covers Member Management.
