ChMeetings is the lowest-cost full ChMS we compared. The Free Forever plan covers 50 people and 50 donations per month, and paid plans run from $12 per month for 100 people to $60 per month for an unlimited database, with annual billing priced at 10 months. Every plan includes a calendar, contributions tracking, people and groups management, a member portal, ministries, events and check-in, a form builder and follow-ups. Paid plans add online giving and pledges, event payments, volunteer scheduling and worship planning, and accounting starts at the $25 Small plan for 250 people. The ChMeetings website is published in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Arabic, a useful sign for multilingual congregations. There are no setup or termination fees, and the team migrates data for free. It is less established in large churches than Planning Center or Pushpay, so bigger congregations should test reporting depth during setup.
