Breeze

$72/mo (1,000 contacts)
VS

ChurchTrac

$29/mo (75 names)

Both target the small church with a part-time admin, and both are well-loved for it. One charges a flat $72 no matter your size; the other scales with how many names you track.

This comparison usually comes down to headcount and whether you need accounting.

Our verdict

Under about 250 people, ChurchTrac is cheaper ($29 to $59 a month) and includes fund accounting, which Breeze doesn't. Around 500 names, ChurchTrac's $79 price tops Breeze's $72, and its limited report customization starts to show.

Breeze is the better pick if you want a predictable bill, a database admins rate highly, and free data export. Its giving runs through Tithely's rates, and reviewers mention slower support and some giving bugs since that change.
