An all-in-one platform for custom church apps, media and streaming, websites, and giving, used by more than 20,000 churches.
Our verdict
Subsplash is one of the most established all-in-one platforms for churches that want a professional, custom-branded app, media hosting and streaming, online giving, and a website, all from one vendor. The apps it produces are genuinely polished, the media experience is strong, and for a church that wants to consolidate its digital presence with a single partner, the breadth is appealing.
The platform is deep. Beyond the app, Subsplash offers giving with its own processing, sermon and podcast hosting, a TV app for streaming, website building, and engagement tools, and larger multi-site churches can lean on it as a comprehensive digital hub. When it is set up well, the member-facing experience is among the nicest in the category.
The friction is cost and commitment. Subsplash does not publish transparent pricing, and real-world numbers typically land in the hundreds of dollars a month once you add media hosting, giving, and extras, with many churches reporting multi-year contracts and per-transaction giving fees on top. For a well-resourced church that will use the whole platform, that can be worth it; for a budget-conscious one, the total cost and lock-in are the reasons to look carefully before signing.

FAQ
How much does Subsplash cost?
Subsplash doesn't publish pricing, but base plans commonly start in the low hundreds per month, and most churches pay roughly $300-600/month after adding media, giving, and other features.
Are there contracts?
Often, yes. Many churches report 12-24 month contracts, so it's worth clarifying term length and cancellation terms before signing.
What does the platform include?
A custom-branded app, sermon and media hosting, streaming and TV apps, online giving, a website builder, and engagement and analytics tools.
Does Subsplash charge giving fees?
Yes. Online giving carries per-transaction processing fees (around 2.9% plus a fixed amount for cards) on top of your platform subscription.
Is it good for small churches?
It can be, but the cost and contract structure are aimed more at mid-size and larger churches; budget-conscious small churches often find lighter, cheaper options.
