Churchy review
A broad web-based church system with free core tools and paid check-in, finance, and branch features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Churchy is a web-based church management platform for churches in Ghana and across Africa. It brings together member profiles, family relationships, departments, pastoral notes, attendance, giving, pastoral follow-up, groups, SMS communication, children’s check-in, reporting, and financial management. Its broad feature set makes it a fit for churches that want one system for administration, ministry coordination, giving, and oversight across multiple branches.
The pricing structure moves from core records to wider operational coverage. The Free plan supports up to 2 team members, 100 member records, 100 MB of storage, pay-as-you-go SMS credits, member management, and attendance tracking. Basic costs $29 per month when billed monthly, or $23 per month billed yearly, and adds up to 10 team members, 1,000 member records, 2 GB of storage, children’s check-in, and small groups. Standard costs $59 monthly, or $47 monthly billed yearly, with up to 25 team members, 5,000 member records, events, reports, analytics, giving, expenses, and payroll. Premium costs $99 monthly, while Enterprise costs $199 monthly and adds unlimited team members and member records, 100 GB of storage, multi-branch management, fund accounting, and budgeting. Annual Growth costs $39 per month and adds online giving and pledge tracking.
Churchy’s strongest distinction is breadth: attendance, family records, departments, small groups, giving, pastoral care, bulk SMS, children’s check-in, reports with Excel export, and financial tools sit alongside branch oversight. Paystack supports mobile-money giving, while Hellio Messaging is an integration for messaging. The trade-off is platform coverage: Churchy runs through the web browser and has no mobile app. Churches prioritizing a modern mobile check-in experience should look elsewhere; churches needing broad branch, finance, and member administration may find Churchy a closer fit.
