COMPARISON

The 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.

Why churches switch from ChMeetings

Same price class, deeper modules

ChMeetings covers many areas at a shallow level — its own users cite limited reports and no accounting. Assemblea ships double-entry finance, rule-based segments and printable registers.

Governance no one else has

Members' assemblies with voter registry, quorum, secret personal-link ballots and auto-generated minutes. For congregational churches this replaces a whole paper workflow.

European by design, not by translation

ChMeetings translates its UI into many languages; Assemblea localizes end-to-end — prices in local currency, EU hosting, consent records, Art. 9 handling and SEPA/iDEAL giving.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import from ChMeetings?

Yes — Assemblea's importer includes a ChMeetings preset. Export your people as CSV, preview the mapping and import members, families and giving history deduplicated.

Is Assemblea really in my language?

Assemblea is fully localized in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal) — including emails, receipts, certificates and printable minutes, not just menu labels.

Why choose Assemblea if ChMeetings is cheaper at some sizes?

Because of what's inside: double-entry accounting, secret digital voting with minutes, GDPR consent and erasure tooling, rota clash detection and capped giving fees. If you only need a simple directory, ChMeetings is fine — Assemblea is for churches that need the rest.
