For small churches with a big calling
If your church is just starting out or is a small congregation, you don't need a complicated or expensive system. HolyCRM is free for up to 50 people, simple to use and works from your phone.

Between preaching, visiting and a day job, there's no time to learn complicated software.
No budget
Many church systems charge per person or per module, with big churches in mind.

Questions from small churches
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan has no time limit: up to 50 people, 2 team members with access and 1 location, with members, guests, small groups, attendance, events and calendar, prayer requests and a giving page.
What happens if we grow past 50 people?
Nothing is deleted. Anything above the limit stays visible but read-only until you move to the full app: US$30 a month or US$300 a year per church, however big it grows.
Do I need a computer?
No. It works in any phone browser and can be installed on your home screen. If you have a computer, it works there too.
I'm not very technical. Will I manage?
Yes. It's like filling in simple forms, closer to a tidy address book than to accounting software. And if you get stuck, write to us and we'll help.
What does the 30-day trial include?
The full app: serving rotas, finances, email, kids check-in, reports, your website and more, with no limit on people. When it ends, you stay on the free plan without losing anything.
