Where Subsplash falls short
- Starts at $300/mo — that’s $3,600+/year before you’ve managed a single volunteer schedule
- App-first approach means the web and desktop admin experience is an afterthought — your office staff suffers
- People management, volunteer scheduling, and service planning are basic add-ons, not the core product
- If your church doesn’t need a custom-branded native app, you’re paying for a platform you’ll barely use
- Long contracts and multi-week setup timelines — you can’t just try it and decide
Why churches choose CHOS instead
- $39.99/mo vs $300+/mo — save over $3,000/year and get deeper church management features
- Web-first experience that works instantly on any device — your office admin and your Sunday volunteer both get a great experience
- Full church operating system: service planning, people, volunteers, check-ins, giving — not an app with management bolted on
- Start your free trial and plan your first service in minutes — no contracts, no onboarding project
- AI assistant answers operational questions like “Which volunteers are available next Sunday?” — not just sermon repurposing
