How Assemblea compares
Honest, side-by-side comparisons with the church management tools you may already know — pricing, features and where each one shines.
Church management software
Assemblea compared with the most common church management systems.
The Planning Center alternative with real accounting
Planning Center is excellent at worship planning — and charges per module for everything else, with no accounting at all. Assemblea bundles people, services, check-in, giving and double-entry finance in one flat price, in 6 languages.
Learn moreThe Breeze ChMS alternative that keeps moving forward
Breeze won churches over with radical simplicity at a flat price. Assemblea keeps that simplicity — and adds accounting, rotas, a member portal, WhatsApp and GDPR tooling, with a free plan Breeze doesn't have.
Learn moreThe ChurchTrac alternative with deeper reporting
ChurchTrac is honest, affordable church software. Assemblea matches the price point and adds the depth churches outgrow it for: smart segments, real dashboards, multilingual UI and EU-grade privacy tooling.
Learn moreThe ChMeetings alternative with depth behind every module
ChMeetings wins on price. Assemblea matches it — free up to 50 members, flat plans after — and goes deeper where it matters: real accounting, secret digital voting, GDPR tooling and WhatsApp built in.
Learn moreThe ChurchSuite alternative for churches beyond the UK
ChurchSuite's rotas are the best in the category — so Assemblea matched them: clash detection, block-outs, swap requests and reminders. Then it added fund accounting, digital voting and 6 languages at a flat price.
Learn moreThe Tithe.ly alternative with capped giving fees
Tithe.ly leads with free giving tools, then charges per product and per transaction. Assemblea includes giving in a complete ChMS: 1% platform fee with a monthly cap, donor-covers-fees, EU payment methods and automatic receipts.
Learn morePresentation software
Assemblea Presenter, free, compared with the apps churches use to project lyrics and the Bible.
The free ProPresenter alternative
ProPresenter is a standard in large churches and costs from $289 a year per seat. Assemblea Presenter does what Sunday needs, lyrics, Bible, slides, NDI and a phone remote, for free, on Linux too.
Learn moreThe free EasyWorship alternative
EasyWorship is a subscription, from $210 a year depending on attendance. Assemblea Presenter projects lyrics, Bible, slides and video for free, on macOS, Windows and Linux.
Learn moreAn OpenLP alternative that’s free too
OpenLP is free and open source and has served thousands of churches. Assemblea Presenter is free like OpenLP and adds NDI® output, an OBS source with transparency and service plans synced from your ChMS.
Learn moreFreeShow or Assemblea Presenter?
FreeShow and Assemblea Presenter are both free and run on macOS, Windows and Linux. The difference: Presenter is connected to the Assemblea church management software and supported in 6 languages.
