Churchly review
A strong fit for churches that want website, funnel, email, and giving tools together.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Churchly combines a church website builder with communication and marketing tools for churches and ministries. Its feature set covers templates, drag-and-drop page building, custom domains, contact forms, contact management, analytics, event landing pages, email campaigns, automated follow-up sequences, appointments, blogging, online-store features, and an AI writing assistant. Churches focused on attracting visitors, collecting inquiries, and continuing communication after an initial interaction will find the broadest fit.
Pricing is structured around a paid Churchly account and an optional Site Build service. The account costs $89.99 per month with annual billing and includes a church website, marketing funnels, custom-domain support, a design library, and support through email, chat, and documentation. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card. The Site Build option costs $297 one time and provides a professionally designed church website built by Churchly designers, with launch in three weeks or less. This gives churches a choice between building with the visual tools or purchasing a done-for-you starting point, but the ongoing account cost places it above simpler low-cost builders.
Churchly’s strongest distinction is its focus on marketing and follow-up rather than website publishing alone. Integrations include Stripe, PayPal, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Facebook Pixel, Planning Center Giving, and SubSplash, while analytics connect website and funnel activity. Sermon publishing and donation links are supported, and the platform also includes bookings, commerce, and AI-assisted writing. Churches wanting one web-based system for outreach, giving connections, and campaign follow-up should consider it. Churches prioritizing a free plan, a lower recurring cost, or a non-web platform should compare alternatives.
