Subsplash review

Subsplash is best known for custom church apps and live streaming, and its church management system adds people, groups, check-in and volunteers to the same platform. Volunteers can set availability, accept requests and see pending assignments inside the church app, and admins can build service plans and schedule people where they are needed. Child check-in uses stations with AirPrint support, groups get a finder, chat and events, and profiles sync across every Subsplash product. Newer additions include Workflows for follow-up checklists and an AI People Assistant that searches the database in plain language. Subsplash Giving costs $0 per month with card fees of 2.3% + 30 cents and ACH at 1%, and rates can drop to 1.9% for cards as giving grows. The ChMS itself is priced through a sales proposal, so it fits churches buying the full Subsplash One package more than those that only need a database.
