Why churches are leaving Church Community Builder
Pushpay acquisition raised prices
After Pushpay acquired CCB, the platform became more enterprise-focused and pricing increased. Smaller churches now pay more for a product that wasn't redesigned for them. HolyJot is built for churches of every size, starting free.
Complex legacy interface
CCB's interface has years of accumulated complexity. Staff need significant training, and the UX slows down everyday tasks. HolyJot's modern design means your team can get things done quickly without a learning curve.
No AI or discipleship tools
CCB and Pushpay have no AI features, no individual member journaling, and no Bible study tools. HolyJot includes FaithAI, faith journaling, and Bible reading plans — connecting church admin to real spiritual growth.
HolyJot vs. Church Community Builder
Frequently asked questions
Why are churches looking for a Church Community Builder (CCB) alternative?
Since Pushpay acquired Church Community Builder, pricing has increased and the platform has become more enterprise-focused. The legacy interface remains complex, and CCB still lacks AI features, individual member discipleship tools, and Bible journaling. Many small and mid-sized churches are looking for a more affordable, modern option.
How does HolyJot compare to Church Community Builder?
HolyJot matches CCB's core features — member management, groups, events, giving, and attendance — while adding AI-powered discipleship tools, individual faith journaling, Bible reading plans, a sermon library, and FaithAI for your church website. HolyJot also starts free, with no enterprise sales process required.
Is HolyJot affordable for churches leaving Pushpay or CCB?
Yes. HolyJot's Starter plan is free forever for churches up to 50 members. Paid plans start at $49/month with all features included — no module fees, no enterprise pricing, and no long-term contracts.
Does HolyJot have the discipleship features CCB lacks?
Yes. HolyJot is built around discipleship — every member gets access to faith journaling, Bible reading plans, and AI-powered devotional tools. FaithAI can also be embedded as a chat widget on your church website. These features go far beyond what CCB or Pushpay offer.
How long does it take to switch from CCB to HolyJot?
Most churches complete initial setup in under 10 minutes. Member data can be imported quickly, and you can publish your first event, enable giving, and launch your FaithAI widget the same day. No lengthy onboarding or sales calls required.
