Ever wondered about the difference between Churchteams and Breeze?
In this guide, we’re taking a deep dive into both products, looking at the differences and similarities between Breeze and Churchteams.
Breeze ChMS provides a comprehensive church management system with features designed to streamline operations and enhance security. It offers robust check-in procedures and child safety management protocols, simplifies volunteer scheduling, and provides advanced event planning capabilities.
Pros: Breeze is easy to use and super affordable! Breeze incorporates online and text donations into their church management system at no additional cost, ensuring you won't incur extra fees for digital giving. The platform allows for direct email and SMS communication with contacts from your church's database. Moreover, Breeze stands out for its exceptional customer support team, which provides complimentary data migration services, ensuring a smooth transition to their system.
In short? It’s a breeze to use!
Cons: Breeze excels in monitoring contributions; however, it lacks an integrated accounting system.
Church administrators, volunteer coordinators, pastors, and ministry leaders can use Breeze to make church management simple and smooth. You can access Breeze on a mobile phone, making it a great choice for church staff on the go!
Churchteams is a church management software solution that offers a range of features including administrative tools for church staff communication, a kid's check-in system, online giving, event registration, volunteer scheduling, among other features.
Pros: Churchteams includes a wide range of tools that ministry leaders need to run church activities and daily operations, and manage staff.
Cons: Churchteams offers scaled pricing; it may be cost-effective for a small church, but ultimately you’ll get penalized for church growth.
Churchteams can be used by church administrators/secretaries, ministry leaders, and church leaders.

Churchteams doesn’t advertise hours, but also has a support team available by phone number or email.
Breeze costs $72 a month to use for all churches, and Churchteams has scaled pricing that ranges from $37 a month to $227 a month, depending on your church size and needs.
While Breeze and Churchteams have similarities in their product offerings, Breeze ultimately has more tools that can help your church thrive, including a worship service planning tool and free data transfer. In short, Breeze may be more robust than Churchteams!
Breeze also has a flat fee per month, meaning that your church won’t get penalized for growing!
Ultimately, Breeze is more user-friendly than Churchteams, offers better support than Churchteams, and has more features than Churchteams.
With its scaled pricing, Churchteams is priced higher than Breeze, and requires more training than Breeze, as Breeze has a simpler interface than Churchteams. Breeze is super simple to use, meaning that it may ultimately be easier to implement than Churchteams. Churchteams may also have a steeper learning curve than Breeze.
While both tools receive good reviews, Breeze ultimately receives better reviews than Churchteams with users rating Breeze an average of 4.8 stars vs. 4.5 stars for Churchteams on Capterra. While it’s not clear if Breeze is preferred by certain denominations over Churchteams, or if it has a larger user base than Churchteams, it’s very likely more flexible than Churchteams, more innovative than Churchteams, and more efficient than Churchteams.
Overall, we recommend that churches purchase Breeze’s monthly package for a better overall experience!

Breeze has been incredible. Their customer service, commitment to innovation, and their product are top-notch. I love the features, the ease of use and the mobile applications.
All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.
Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!
We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.
Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.
Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.
I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.
From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
