CHOS vs Church Community Builder
Enterprise church management now part of the Pushpay family. See how CHOS compares as a modern alternative.
TL;DR
Church Community Builder offers custom enterprise pricing (typically $300+/mo). CHOS gives you services, people, volunteers, check-ins, giving, and an AI assistant in one workspace at $39.99/month flat. Churches often switch because enterprise pricing ($300+/mo) puts it out of reach for churches under 1,000 members.

Where CCB falls short
- Enterprise pricing ($300+/mo) puts it out of reach for churches under 1,000 members
- Absorbed into Pushpay’s ChurchStaq — product direction is driven by Pushpay’s priorities, not your church’s
- Staff need weeks of training to navigate the dated interface — new hires slow down every time
- No AI assistant — generating a report like “volunteer participation by ministry” means clicking through a report builder
- Built for mega-church complexity — a 200-member church pays for features it will never use
Why churches choose CHOS instead
- $39.99/mo with every feature included — save $250+/mo compared to CCB’s enterprise pricing
- New staff members are productive on day one — the interface is intuitive enough to skip formal training
- Ask the AI “Which small groups lost members this quarter?” instead of building a custom report from scratch
- Scales from 30-person church plants to multi-site congregations without pricing tiers or sales calls
- Independent product with a public roadmap — not buried inside a corporate portfolio
