What changes
A church app, or the whole church.
Subsplash sells custom-branded church apps: your church’s name and icon, under your own listing in the app stores. That’s a real strength, and it’s why so many churches choose it. Socio Connect is built to run church life: groups, giving, kids check-in, volunteers and worship planning, events and your website, on one record per person, so you can see where everyone is and act on who needs you this week.
Subsplash quotes its platform privately, based on your church’s size and usage. Groups, check-in and serving often live in other tools beside it, each with its own list of people.
Socio Connect publishes every plan. Gifts go to your own Stripe account, and we never add a platform fee. Your own app in the stores is coming on Enterprise; today, members use Socio Connect on the web.
Every group, gift, check-in and shift lands on the same person, in one platform, for one monthly price.

Questions you can finally answer.
These need data that usually sits in two or more tools. On one record they're one place to look, and the Assistant brings the people behind them to your team each week.
- 1Who stopped attending and stopped giving in the same month?
- 2Who comes on Sundays but isn’t in a small group?
- 3Which first-time guests came back a second and third time, and which group did they join?
- 4Which volunteers serve every week and are at risk of burning out?

Moving over
Moving off Subsplash.
Your app is how many of your people hear the sermon and give each week, so take it one step at a time:
- 01
Sign up. Your 14-day Community trial starts the day you sign up.
- 02
Import your people from a spreadsheet, then set up your groups, check-in and volunteer teams.
- 03
Connect your own Stripe account, and ask givers to set up their recurring gifts again on your giving page.
- 04
Keep Subsplash running for as long as you need it, and switch between series, not in the middle of one.
Should you switch?
Who each is best for.
