Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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.

Mighty Networks

  • A transaction fee is charged on paid memberships on top of the subscription, at 2% on Launch and 1% on Scale
  • Reaching the lowest 0.5% fee requires Mighty Pro, which is custom priced and gated behind a demo
  • Host and moderator seats are capped by plan, at 3 hosts on Launch at $79 a month and 5 on Scale at $179
  • The subscription is charged regardless of revenue, so a community that earns nothing still pays $79 a month
