The cost case · Temple websites

What the software costs—and where your margin can improve.

Start with the bill and one costly workflow. The comparison is straightforward: recurring software costs you can actually remove, minus the hosting, AI, integrations and upkeep a replacement needs. Time saved is a separate gain, and only becomes margin when the business can use it.

Current software · researched prices

Temple websites software runs $72 to $119 a month across the 2 vendors that publish prices. The research includes software with a bundled website; confirm any hosting or setup charges.

Published starting prices are not a like-for-like quote. Confirm the plans, seats, add-ons, payment fees and setup your workflow requires.

A focused tool · under your control

Pay for the parts this workflow needs.

One time: map the rules, build, test edge cases, move only the data needed and train the people who use it.

Each month: affordable hosting, coding-AI usage, any database or integrations, backups and maintenance. Price these for the actual application; a $0 or low hosting tier is not the total cost.

You control: the code repository, domain, data and service accounts. Someone on your side owns updates, access, recovery and support.

MarginVendor costs removed − the replacement’s full monthly operating cost.
Admin timeFirst target: One repeated temple websites task. $0 is Planning Center's price for its free tier, website and member app included. Breeze is $72 a month. Here's what a temple website really costs.
Business valueDurable, documented margin can strengthen a business; buyers still assess risk and whether someone else can run the workflow.

The exact replacement cost depends on scope and usage. Bring your invoice and one frustrating task; we’ll map what can stay, what could be owned and the costs to verify.

What a safe switch means for temple websites

Build the member workspace and role permissions, then the directory, events, renewals and self-service portal. Reconcile dues before moving collections.

Records that must move

  • Members or households, roles, directory preferences, events and renewal dates
  • Dues balances, documents, access permissions and communication consent

Ask for a sample export. Check relationships, attachments and history, not just row counts.

Tests before you switch

  • Members only see records their role permits and private directory entries stay private.
  • A renewal updates status once, including failed or retried payment notifications.
  • The next administrator can export records and maintain the directory without the original builder.

Vendor exit terms to include

Source-recorded terms. Confirm your own agreement and export access before planning a move.

What to keep

If Planning Center's free tier covers your calendar and member list, keep it. A 501(c)(3) congregation may also get Google Workspace free through Google for Nonprofits.

What to verify

Ask providers to demonstrate this workflow using your edge cases. Check which plan includes each step, what costs extra and how your records can be exported.

Questions owners ask

How much does a temple website cost?

It can cost nothing: Planning Center's free tier includes a public website and member app. Breeze bundles a website only in its $119-a-month package; its base plan is $72.

Is Planning Center free for temples?

Yes. The free tier covers all nine modules with usage limits, such as 10 monthly donations in Giving and 15 members in Groups. Paid prices appear only in its usage calculator.

Why pay for a temple website if free tools exist?

Ownership. A free platform gives you a page on someone else's system; a site you own keeps your domain and presents your community the way you want. The audit tells you whether that's worth paying for.
