Custom apps for churches and nonprofits
Keepport builds community apps for churches, ministries and nonprofits: events and registration, online giving, sermons and media, small groups, prayer requests and push notifications. A typical build costs about $3,500, launches in six to eight weeks on iPhone and Android, and is maintained for $299 a month on a care plan. You own the app and the member data instead of renting a template.
Features pastors, executive directors and communications leads ask for

- Small groups and volunteer sign-ups
- Prayer requests and care team routing

Your own app vs Subsplash, Tithe.ly or a generic church app builder
Rented software is fine until the fees, the branding and the data lock-in add up. This is what changes when the app is yours.
| Subsplash, Tithe.ly or a generic church app builder | Keepport app | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $99–$300 plus giving fees | $299 Care Plan; giving fees are Stripe's only |
| Template | Same app as every other church | Your design, your features |
| Member data | Held by the vendor | Yours |
| Giving fees | Platform fee plus processing | Processing only |
| Ownership | Subscription | You own the code |
Church app builders charge $36 to $300 a month and add platform fees on giving; custom church apps from US vendors are typically $10,000 to $40,000 depending on giving, media and multi-campus features.
