Planning Center

Five modules,
five billing lines

People + Giving + Groups + Check-Ins + Church Center

HumDov

One platform,
one price.

Give + Connect + Mobile App

The module pricing compounds quickly

Planning Center's per-module model means a typical small church stack (People, Giving, Groups, Check-Ins) runs $42–$99/month before you add Church Center for the mobile app.

HumDov's Growth plan covers all of that for $49/month flat.

Your congregation wants one app, not five integrations

Planning Center is powerful but fragmented. Giving is in one place, your groups in another, your app in Church Center. HumDov was built from day one as a unified platform.

Everything works together because it was designed to.

Your members are on mobile. Your app should be too.

HumDov's mobile app is included on every plan, with Loop audio rooms, built-in Bible, Journey devotionals, and a community feed. Not an add-on. Not a separate subscription. Included.
