Pricing

Start free with the whole thing. Pay when you outgrow it.

Most shul software sells you the gabbai tools and then charges again for the parts your members actually touch. We do the opposite. The free tier is bounded by how many members you have — not by which features you get — and the business is built on the giving rails rather than the subscription line. Only the office-heavy pieces a small shul does not run yet sit on the top plan.

The part other people bury

There is also a platform fee on money that moves through Shuli — donations, pledges, sponsorships, tickets. It is 0% during the pilot and settles at 1.5–2% after that, on top of whatever your own Stripe account charges to process a card. Donor-covers-fees is on by default, so in practice most of it is paid by the giver.

We would rather earn when your appeal succeeds than charge a shul of twenty families $129 a month for software it is only half using. That is the whole reason the free tier is a real product and not a crippled demo — and it is why the money lands in your shul's own Stripe account, never ours.

Questions people actually ask

What does the free tier actually leave out?
Nothing that Community has. The free tier is bounded by size — up to 25 members — not by features, so free and Community carry exactly the same product and growing into Community never gains you a feature, only room. A minyan of fifteen gets the same Shabbos gate, the same kiddush board, the same pledge flow and the same giving rails an established shul gets. When you pass 25, nobody is locked out of anything they already have; you are simply asked to pick a plan before the next person joins.
So what is actually only on Full Shul?
Six things, and they are the ones a shul with an office runs: Yamim Noraim seating with a seat map, kibbudim auctions, appeals with matchers, the chavership form, comp and promo codes, and the office's analytics page. Everything a member touches — davening times, the weekly sheet, chat, the Rav, giving, pledges, kiddush, events, yahrzeits, the directory — is on every plan including free.
Is there a trial?
Sixty days of the full paid plan, and it is a real trial — every feature, unlimited members, no card charged until it ends. Cancel from the billing portal at any point and you are back on the free tier, with your data untouched.
What is the platform fee?
A small percentage on money that moves through the platform — donations, pledges, sponsorships, tickets. It is 0% during the pilot and settles at 1.5–2% after that, on top of the card processing your own Stripe account charges. Donor-covers-fees is on by default, so in practice most of it is paid by the giver, not the shul.
Why charge on donations at all?
Because it lets the subscription stay small and the free tier stay real. We would rather earn when your appeal succeeds than charge a shul of twenty families $129 a month for software. It also means our incentive is the same as yours: build giving rails that actually work.
Is there a discount for paying annually?
Yes — pay for the year and get two months free.
Do we sign a contract?
No. Self-serve, month to month, cancel yourself from the billing portal. Your data exports to CSV whenever you want it, whether you are leaving or not.
Who owns the money?
You do, directly. Donations land in your shul's own Stripe account — we are never the merchant of record and your money never sits with us.

Start free. Grow into a plan when you need one.

Set your shul up in a few minutes. No card until you pass 25 members or start the trial.
