Great church software
shouldn’t cost this much
ChurchSuite does a lot. It also charges a lot — and the bill grows every time your congregation does. Church Admin Plugin gives you the same essential tools for a flat £9.99 a month, no matter how many members you have.
The cost of ChurchSuite adds up fast
ChurchSuite charges per contact, per module, and rises automatically as your church grows. Church Admin charges a simple flat rate.
Everything you need to run your church — included
Church Admin Premium is not a stripped-down alternative. It covers the same ground as ChurchSuite, and it lives right inside your existing WordPress website.
People & Address List
A secure congregation database with household grouping, visitor tracking, follow-up tools, member types, and GDPR compliance built in.
Rotas & Schedules
Build service schedules for every role, link volunteers by ministry, manage availability, and email or SMS the rota automatically each week.
Calendar & Events
A full church calendar with recurring events, ticketed events, and paid event ticketing through PayPal or Stripe.
Communication Tools
Email, SMS, and push notifications to your whole church, specific ministries, small groups, or individual people. Email works free out of the box or via Brevo or MailerSend. SMS is available by connecting your Twilio account.
Online Giving
PayPal and Stripe giving forms with Gift Aid reporting for UK churches. Recurring giving, multiple funds, and one-off gifts all supported.
Smartphone App
The Our Church app for iOS and Android is free for your congregation to download. Members can view rotas, sermons, the calendar, and their own details.
Sermon Podcasting
Store and publish your sermons with audio and video, organised by series and speaker, and distribute automatically to Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Small Groups & Classes
Manage home groups, cell groups, and courses. Track attendance, show a map of where groups meet, and let people sign up online.
Multi-site Support
Manage multiple venues and sites with separate people, events, and rotas — ideal for church plants and multi-congregation churches.
The difference that really matters
Beyond the price, there are a few things about Church Admin Plugin that ChurchSuite simply cannot offer.
Your data lives on your own website
Church Admin Plugin runs inside WordPress on your own hosting. Your congregation’s data never sits on a third-party server — it stays on a server you control, reducing risk and keeping you fully GDPR-compliant on your own terms.
One price, forever — regardless of growth
ChurchSuite’s bill rises automatically as your church grows and as you add modules. Church Admin Premium is £9.99 a month whether you have 50 members or 5,000. Growth should be celebrated, not invoiced.
No per-module upselling
ChurchSuite charges per module — you pay more to unlock rotas, small groups, or giving. With Church Admin Premium, every feature is included from day one at a single flat rate.
It lives inside your church website
Because Church Admin is a WordPress plugin, your address list, calendar, rota, and giving forms all appear as part of your existing church website — no separate login portal for your congregation to remember.
Trusted by over 1,000 churches worldwide
From small church plants of 30 to multi-site churches of thousands, Church Admin Plugin has been serving churches since 2007 and is continuously developed by Andy Moyle — a church pastor with over 25 years of experience who understands church administration from the inside.
