The same flat-price simplicity — plus the depth you'd eventually need.
Breeze ChMS earned its reputation on simplicity, and since the August 2025 rebrand it lives on as Tithely Church Management. SundayHQ makes the same promise — one price, one app, no training week — without the ceiling churches eventually hit on workflows, service planning, and receipting.
SundayHQ
$59/mo
Flat. Every module, unlimited staff, one app.
Tithely (Breeze)

Tithely's published pricing as of July 2026: All-Access at $119/mo bundles giving, ChMS, website builder, and a custom church app; Church Management alone runs ~$72/mo. Check their pricing page for current numbers.
| SundayHQ | Tithely (Breeze) | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | $59/mo flat, every module, unlimited staff and people. Church plants: $29/mo for the first three years. | All-Access $119/mo flat; Church Management alone ~$72/mo. Capabilities are split across bundle products (giving, ChMS, website, app). |
| Ease of use | One coherent app — no module-switching, and the whole platform is explorable in a two-click demo before anyone commits. | The category's ease-of-use benchmark, and genuinely so — simplicity is the product's design center. |
| Assimilation workflows | A real pipeline engine: follow-up cards with owners and deadlines, auto-triggered by first check-in, first gift, form submits, or tags. | Tags and simple follow-up processes; no comparable multi-step pipeline engine with auto-triggers. |
| Giving & cross-border receipts | CRA official receipts generated by the system: split-receipting, gap-tracked sequential serials per legal entity per tax year, void-and-reissue lineage — plus 501(c)(3) statements. | CRA receipt templates the church fills in, with a serial computed from date range and account ID. We found no public evidence of split-receipting — verify with the vendor. |
| Service planning | Plans with items and running time, song library with CCLI logging, live multi-user editing, volunteer scheduling with decline-and-replace. | Minimal dedicated worship-planning depth — a known part of the simplicity trade-off. |
| Background-check gating | Police-service check tracking with expiry and recheck cycles, and room-level gating that refuses unscreened volunteers — included in every tier. | Background checks are available as part of the All-Access bundle; room-level enforcement isn't a documented feature. |
| Multi-campus | Native: campus-scoped staff roles, org rollups, and per-campus legal charities with independent receipt sequences ($179/mo tier). | Not a core positioning strength; no dedicated multi-campus architecture appears in public materials. |
Competitor details come from Tithely's public pricing and support pages and third-party sources as of July 2026, including the Breeze → Tithely Church Management rebrand (August 2025). If anything here is out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.
If you chose Breeze for one-price simplicity and a volunteer-friendly interface, SundayHQ is the same bet without the eventual ceiling. The things growing churches bolt on later — a real assimilation pipeline, service planning a worship team will actually use, receipts that survive a CRA audit — are already in the $59 price, not a second vendor conversation.
And since Breeze is now Tithely Church Management, evaluating alternatives means evaluating the bundle: if you mainly want their giving stack, website builder, or custom-branded app, that bundle may still fit. If you want the church management half to be deep, that's the comparison this page is for.
The built-in Breeze importer maps the export format, dry-runs with duplicate and error reports, commits in tracked batches, and rolls back cleanly. People, households, and giving history — with dates and funds intact.
Breeze's ease-of-use reputation was earned over a decade with thousands of churches. We aim for the same bar, but their track record is real and ours is being built.
Tithely ships a website builder, a custom-branded church app, and text-to-give alongside the ChMS. We deliberately don't do texting or websites — we put that depth into the modules churches run Sunday on.
Tithe.ly's payments stack is mature and battle-tested. Our approach is different by design: your church's own Helcim account, with donations settling directly to you.
It's one app with one navigation, not a bundle of separate products — simplicity here comes from coherence rather than fewer features. The fair test is the demo church: if your volunteer administrator can't check a family in, record a gift, and find a person's record in the first ten minutes, we haven't earned the switch.
The same product. Tithe.ly acquired Breeze ChMS in 2021 and rebranded it as Tithely Church Management in August 2025. If you're searching for a 'Breeze alternative' or a 'Tithely church management alternative,' this is the comparison either way.
Yes. SundayHQ tracks police-service checks (the standard for kids ministry volunteers, usually free or nearly free with a church letter), drives expiry and recheck cycles, and lets rooms require a screened volunteer before a child walks in. All of it is in every tier — there's nothing extra to buy from us.
The difference is template versus system of record. Breeze provides CRA templates the church fills in, with a serial number computed from the date range and account ID. SundayHQ generates the official receipt itself: mandatory CRA fields, strictly sequential gap-tracked serials per legal entity per tax year, split-receipting for benefit events, and void-and-reissue with an audit trail.
We don't do SMS — deliberately. Carrier rules now require every church to register and pay for its own sending number, which makes texting either non-compliant or another line item. We put that investment into unlimited email and free member-app push notifications instead, included in every tier.
