A Church Windows alternative
designed for how churches work today.
Church Windows has been a reliable desktop database for many congregations — but desktop software doesn't cut it in a mobile-first world. HolyJot is cloud-native, works on any device, and adds discipleship and community features Church Windows simply can't offer.

HolyJot vs. Church Windows
Frequently asked questions
Why are churches moving away from Church Windows?
Church Windows is a reliable desktop database that many churches have used for years, but it was designed for a desktop-first world. It requires Windows computers, has limited mobile access, and does not include features like online giving, AI discipleship tools, faith journaling, or modern mobile apps. Churches are switching to cloud-native solutions that work on any device without maintenance overhead.
Does HolyJot replace Church Windows completely?
Yes. HolyJot covers every core feature of Church Windows — member records, attendance, contributions and giving reports, fund accounting — and adds cloud access, a mobile app, online giving, AI-powered discipleship, faith journaling, and small group management. It is a complete replacement for most congregations.
Is HolyJot free?
Yes. HolyJot's Starter plan is free forever for churches up to 50 members. Paid plans start at $49/month — comparable to or less than Church Windows licensing costs, with no Windows-only restrictions.
Can I import my Church Windows data into HolyJot?
Yes. Church Windows allows data exports that can be imported into HolyJot via CSV. Our onboarding team can assist with member data, family groupings, and contribution history. Most migrations are completed in a single session.
