The opportunity
Your tools don't share a person.
A first-time guest is in one system, their kids' check-in in another, their small group in a third and their giving in a fourth. Nobody sees the whole of someone's journey.
Most churches are running their digital community on a stack of tools that don't fully connect: a church management system, a white-label app, a sermon podcast, a group messaging tool, a giving platform. Each one bills separately. None of them shares a person with the others.
So the questions that matter most go unanswered. Which first-time guests came back? Who has stopped showing up at their group? Who gives but has never served? The answers exist, scattered across systems that were never built to talk to each other.
And every one of those systems can change its pricing, its roadmap or its owner without asking you.
Your people are one congregation. Their record should be one record too.
The platform
One platform. Your whole church.
Socio Connect replaces the separate tools most churches juggle (people, small groups, check-in, giving, volunteers and registrations) with one platform, on one record for every person in your Church Family.
One platform changes that. Every visit, check-in, gift and group lands on the same record, so your staff can see who is connecting, who is drifting, and who needs a call this week.
And it's yours: we never take a cut of your giving, and you can export everything any time.
Screens from the real product, on the web. Harbor Point Church is an example. Your own branded app is coming on Enterprise.
One platform instead of many
What you’re paying for today.
Most churches pay for each of these separately, and none of them share a member record. Socio Connect's Community plan replaces most of them with one platform; the last column shows how it handles each one.

Prices as published on each vendor’s pricing page, checked September 2026. Ranges run from the smallest to the largest plan. Card processing on gifts and tickets isn’t shown: you pay it whatever platform you use. Email stays with the service you use and connects to the platform. Texting is on the way. Custom forms can be built for you. Your own branded app is coming on Enterprise. Some churches keep their accounting as a system of record; where they do, we sync the platform to it.
Add up yoursQuestions you can finally answer.
Each one needs data that sits in two or more of the tools above today. On one member record, it’s a report. Every organization asks different questions, so the reports that answer yours are part of the build.
Who stopped attending and stopped giving in the same month?
Who comes on Sundays but isn’t in a small group?
Which first-time guests came back a second and third time, and which group did they join?
Which volunteers serve every week and are at risk of burning out?

Designed around your structure.
Churches aren't flat. They have campuses, regions, age-specific ministries, language congregations, and hundreds of small groups, each with its own culture and leadership. Most community platforms are built for simple, flat organizations. They break when they encounter church complexity.
On the Complete plan, Socio Connect puts every campus under one roof: one record per person, with each campus's own groups, events and leaders, and a church-wide view for your central team.
Headquarters
Church-wide member database, unified analytics, cross-campus messaging
Campus A
Campus-specific groups, events, leadership tools, and member view
Campus B
Same member record, its own leaders, spaces and permissions
Ministry Groups
Youth, young adults, language congregations — each with their own space
Giving, check-in, volunteers and the Assistant are on the Community plan and above. Campuses are on Complete.
The member journey
Know where everyone is. Act where it matters.
One platform takes over the systems you run today, so every visit, check-in, gift and group lands on the same person. You see where each of them is on the way from the edge of your community to its center, and you know exactly who needs you this week.

An example journey. Every community moves differently.
Every system, one place
Check-in, small groups, giving, volunteer schedules and messages, replaced by one platform. Every step anyone takes lands on the same record.
See where everyone is
From the first time someone finds you to the day they lead, see which step each person has reached, and where people stall on the way in.
Act on what needs you most
Every week the assistant brings you the people, the reason and a drafted message. Your team approves it.
Every community moves differently. The Assistant’s list follows what your people actually do, so it fits yours.

Your assistant
Know who needs you this week.
The Assistant works on your own records: check-ins, groups, giving and serving. It brings your team the people, the reason for each, and a personal first draft written by AI. Nothing reaches anyone until someone on your team sends it.
Every first-time guest, followed up
Sunday’s new faces are on Monday’s list with what they wrote on their connect card, and a welcome drafted for each.
A rest week, before burnout
Volunteers who’ve served every week for months are flagged, with a note thanking them and offering a week off.
The Assistant suggests and drafts. A person on your team decides what's sent, every time.
The real product. Harbor Point Church is an example.
The Assistant drafts and your team decides what’s sent. Every name comes with a reason, and nothing it reads is used to train AI models.
How the assistant handles your dataThe Assistant is included in the Community plan and above, with no separate AI bill.
See everything the Assistant doesA pile of apps vs. one platform
One record beats five subscriptions.
Every tool a church adds solves one job and holds its own copy of each person. Here's what changes when it all lives in one place.
| Compared | A stack of church tools | Socio Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Tools replaced | 10 jobs, each on its own tool, none sharing a member record | 6 of the 10 included, on one record per person |
| What you pay for | A separate subscription for each job | One plan, priced by active people |
| Each person's record | Split across every tool | One record: visits, groups, gifts and check-ins together |
| Who needs follow-up | Pieced together by hand, if at all | The Assistant's list, with the reason and a drafted note |
| Your giving | Depends on each giving tool's fees | No platform fee, straight to your own Stripe account |
| Getting your data out | Whatever each vendor allows | Export everything, any time |
Our worked example
In our example, a church of about 1,000 people pays $5,244 a year for the apps our plans replace (Planning Center Groups, Planning Center Check-Ins, Planning Center Giving, Planning Center Registrations and Planning Center Services), plus about $12,480 a year in staff time: 8 hours a week moving information between them. Socio Connect’s Complete plan, for up to 2,000 active people, is $7,188 a year, with no cut of your giving. An estimate from published prices, not a quote.
