Their prices can change, and several of them are not listed as a single number. This page does not invent a Subsplash quote.
| The Gathering | Subsplash, from their public pages | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | No platform subscription to use the app. | The Subsplash pricing page says Subsplash One is priced from church size and usage, and that you contact them for a package. It does not list one public monthly price. Their pricing FAQ says the price depends on size, features, and usage. |
| App | One shared church app on the web. Not a store app branded for each church. | Subsplash One's product page says every subscription includes a branded iOS and Android app, plus TV apps, managed from their dashboard. |
| Live video | You stream on YouTube. Go Live sends a LIVE NOW alert and opens a worship room. The Gathering does not host the video. | Their custom church app page says people can watch live streams inside the Subsplash app. We are not describing their encoder or pricing for that feature. |
| Giving | Stripe direct charges to the church's account. No Gathering application fee. Standard Stripe rates are estimated in the app. | Their pricing page lists online giving and donor tools inside the package. We are not quoting a Subsplash card rate, because we are not pinning a number they did not put on that pricing page. |
Subsplash is a wider platform, including tools such as child check-in on the plans they describe. The Gathering does not do check-in. It is the lighter, free church app.
