Breeze is easy to use.
Church Admin is easy on the budget too.
Breeze ChMS (now Tithely Church Management) is one of the friendliest church management systems around. But at $72 a month it costs over seven times more than Church Admin Plugin — which gives small churches the same core tools for just $9.99 a month, built right into their existing WordPress website.
The numbers speak for themselves
Both platforms offer flat-rate pricing with unlimited members and all features included. The difference is how much you pay for that simplicity.
Same simplicity. A fraction of the cost.
Breeze’s selling point is ease of use. Church Admin Plugin is just as straightforward — and it brings a few advantages Breeze simply can’t match.
Seven times cheaper — with the same core features
At $9.99 a month versus $72, Church Admin Plugin saves a small church over $760 a year. Both platforms offer member management, scheduling, giving, groups, communication, and events at a flat rate with no per-member charges.
Lives inside your church website
Breeze is a separate platform your congregation logs into at breezechms.com. Church Admin Plugin is a WordPress plugin — your member directory, calendar, rota, and giving forms all appear as pages on your existing church website, so there’s nothing new for your congregation to find or remember.
Your data stays on your own server
With Breeze, your congregation’s personal data is stored on Tithely’s cloud servers. Church Admin Plugin runs on your own WordPress hosting — you own the data, you control it, and you are not dependent on a third-party platform staying in business or keeping their pricing stable.
Sermon podcasting built in
Breeze does not include sermon management. Church Admin Plugin does — store audio and video sermons, organise them by series and speaker, and distribute automatically to Spotify and Apple Podcasts, all included in your $9.99 monthly subscription.
Independently developed since 2007
Church Admin Plugin is built and maintained by Andy Moyle, a church pastor with over 25 years of experience who has been developing the plugin since 2007. There are no investors, no corporate owners, and no risk of the product being acquired, rebranded, or discontinued. You are buying from someone who understands church life from the inside — and has been improving this plugin for nearly two decades.
Everything your small church needs
Church Admin Premium covers all the essentials Breeze offers — and adds sermon podcasting and deeper WordPress integration that Breeze doesn’t have.
People & Member Database
A secure congregation database with household grouping, custom fields, visitor tracking, follow-up tools, and GDPR compliance built in.
Volunteer Scheduling & Rotas
Build service schedules for every role, link volunteers by ministry, manage availability, and send the rota automatically by email or SMS each week.
Calendar & Events
A full church calendar with recurring events, free and paid event ticketing through PayPal or Stripe, and event registration built in.
Email, SMS & Push Notifications
Communicate with your whole church or specific groups. Email works free out of the box or via Brevo or MailerSend. SMS is available by connecting your Twilio account. Push notifications come with the church app.
Online Giving
PayPal and Stripe giving forms with recurring giving, multiple funds, and Gift Aid reporting for UK churches — all included at no extra cost.
Church App
The Our Church app for iOS and Android is free for your congregation to download. Members can view schedules, sermons, the calendar, and their own details on the go.
Sermon Podcasting
Store and publish sermons with audio and video, organised by series and speaker, with automatic distribution to Spotify and Apple Podcasts — not available in Breeze.
Small Groups
Manage home groups and courses, track attendance, show a map of where groups meet, and let people sign up from your website.
Attendance Tracking
Track attendance at services, groups, and classes — individually or globally — to spot trends and follow up with those who drift away.
