Church administrators rarely choose software from a blank page. More often the Treasurer notices that the giving tool, the people database, the small-group tool and the website host now add up to a real monthly figure, and someone asks whether one platform could do it.
The Planning Center and Breeze figures here are reported by third-party sources as of November 2026, not published by the vendors, and the sources do not all agree. Read them as approximate, and check each vendor's own pricing page before deciding.

Where Planning Center or Breeze is the better choice
Planning Center's modular model is a real advantage for a church that only needs one or two pieces. If all you want is a people database, it is free, and a church that never adds the paid modules may spend less than it would on any flat plan, Daviah's included.
Both Planning Center and Breeze are made for churches alone, and your staff or volunteers may already know one of them from another congregation. Daviah serves clubs, schools and other organizations as well as churches, and it is young, with few public reviews so far. If the familiarity of a long-established church tool matters most, that is a fair reason to stay.
Breeze's reported flat price of about $72 a month is slightly below Daviah's Website + Members monthly price, so for a church that already has a website it is happy with, Breeze may cost a little less.
Daviah also does not do some things a church might need: there is no native phone app, no automated email sequences, and no sync with QuickBooks or Xero today.
Where Daviah fits
Daviah fits a church that wants its public website and its office in one place, at one price that does not change as the congregation grows. The screens use a church's own words, so the office says congregation, giving and ministries, not members, dues and committees.
Giving is taken by card into the church's own Stripe account. Daviah adds no platform fee on top of Stripe's processing fee, and gifts, invoices and receipts are kept together in one ledger.
For a church with a council, a vestry or a board, meetings are kept properly: minutes are drafted, then approved, and the approved minute book carries over from year to year. Changes to records are written to an audit log, and each church's records are backed up separately every night.
- Website and church office together, one price
- Screens that say congregation, giving and ministries
- Giving into your own Stripe account, no platform fee
- Approved minute book kept year to year
- A tablet at the door for signing people in to the meeting or class on now
Trying it alongside what you have
You do not have to switch to find out. The Free plan lets you build and preview the whole church website without publishing it, and you can share the preview with your staff using a six-digit code that changes every day. When you are ready, a spreadsheet export of your people can be imported, and member records can be exported back out at any time.
Questions
Is Daviah cheaper than Planning Center?
For a church of about 150 using several Planning Center modules, the reported estimate is about $110 to $180 a month, against Daviah's flat $79.99. A church that uses only Planning Center's free People module will spend less with Planning Center. Check its current pricing page for your own setup.
Does Daviah take a percentage of giving?
No. Gifts go into the church's own Stripe account. Stripe charges its own processing fee, and Daviah adds nothing on top.
Does the price change as the congregation grows?
No. Every Daviah plan is one price per organization, whatever the number of people in the congregation or the number of staff who log in.
Is there a Daviah phone app for church members?
Not a native one. Daviah runs in the browser, including the member portal, and can be installed on a tablet.
