All members can still generate and download as many reports as they want with any level of membership. The four membership packages are purely designed around the number of employees and location profiles you can save and use with one click.
This new system is designed to cost the same on a per employee basis for churches of all shapes and sizes.
The Problem❓
Flat membership fees put unfair burdens on small churches. Salary reports end up costing small churches as much as $25 to $32 per employee. Large and mega-churches, by contrast, get to pay pennies on the dollar for the same information.
We don’t think that pricing model is fair anymore.
Practically speaking, on a per staff basis, our 2.0 membership model looked like:
$99 / 4 staff = $25 / staff
$99 / 8 staff = $12.38 / staff
$99 / 16 staff = $6.19 / staff
$99 / 32 staff = $3.10 / staff
$99 / 64 staff = $1.55 / staff
Charging small churches 16 times more than a mega-church for the same information just feels wrong.
The Solution ✅
To unburden smaller churches and create a more sustainable platform, ChurchSalary designed our 3.0 membership packages to cost an average of $12-14 per employee regardless of church size.
We literally gamed out every possible scenario in terms of budgets, cost per employee, and the growth rate of attendance and staff size.
