The short version

  • Only Gloo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Faithlife Proclaim no specific pricing amounts published; Gloo churches are not the paying customer, so the product roadmap answers to ministries, funders and campaign buyers whose interests do not always match a local congregation.
  • They diverge on capability: Faithlife Proclaim covers Sermon Presentation, Gloo covers Gloo Workspace.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Faithlife Proclaim

  • No specific pricing amounts published
  • Yearly subscription model requires annual commitment
  • Recent price increase mentioned in community feedback

Gloo

  • Churches are not the paying customer, so the product roadmap answers to ministries, funders and campaign buyers whose interests do not always match a local congregation.
  • Participation routes congregant and enquirer interactions through a commercial data network, and a church board should have the data terms reviewed before enrolling a congregation rather than after.
  • It is not a church management system: there is no membership database, giving ledger, child check-in or rostering, so it sits alongside an existing ChMS rather than replacing one.
  • Free message credits are capped monthly, and a church that builds its weekly communications on texting will exceed them and move to paid volume where the effective cost is comparable to dedicated messaging vendors.
  • The company has grown by acquiring more than twenty brands, and integrating that many products takes time, so overlap and inconsistency between the acquired tools is visible to users.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Faithlife Proclaim: Does Proclaim publish its pricing publicly?

No. Proclaim does not disclose pricing information, subscription costs, or fee amounts on its website or the Faithlife forums.

Source
Gloo: Is this the same as Gloo Gateway the API product?

No. This is gloo.com, the faith sector data and AI platform. Gloo Gateway is an unrelated API gateway product from a different company.

Faithlife Proclaim: What is Proclaim's billing model?

Proclaim operates on a yearly subscription model. Community feedback indicates the product has experienced recent price increases, though specific amounts are not disclosed.

Source
Gloo: Why is it free for churches?

Because churches are not the revenue source. Ministries, publishers, philanthropists and campaign funders pay to reach and measure engagement with the audience the network reaches.

Gloo: Does it replace our church management software?

No. There is no membership ledger, giving records, check-in or volunteer rostering. Keep your ChMS.

Gloo: What happens to data about people who contact us through Explorer?

That is the question to put in writing to Gloo before joining. Enquirer data flows through a commercial network, and the governing terms should be reviewed by whoever advises your board.
