Independent ranking. Every app here is scored the same way. Nobody can pay to rank higher. Free matters. If the best parts are locked behind a paywall, the score goes down. Every fact comes from the maker's own website or its App Store page, checked 28 September 2026. Subsplash and Pushpay do not publish prices, so they rank last. A church-branded app also needs an Apple developer account, which Apple bills separately.
