Side by side.
| Question | Church Flow | Breeze |
|---|---|---|
| How is it priced? | In Rand, from R79 per month, sized by average weekly attendance. Every module on every plan; VAT included where applicable. | A flat $72 per month in US dollars. Text messaging includes 250 messages a month, then $10 per 500; their own pricing page offers worship tools as a $29 per month add-on. |
| What does the exchange rate do to the bill? | Nothing. The price is set in Rand and stays in Rand. | A dollar bill rides the exchange rate. The software did not change; your invoice did. |
| Whose product is it? | Built, owned and run by the same South African team that runs its own church on it every Sunday. | Their homepage banner says Breeze has been rebranded as Tithely Church Management, and new signups run through Tithely's own funnel. |
| Giving in South Africa | Through your church's own Paystack account: settles in Rand directly to your bank account, no platform cut, with pledge campaigns, batch counting for cash offerings and year-end statements included. | The bundled free giving is Tithely Giving. Tithely's published supported-country list covers Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and the US. South Africa is not on it. |
| Messaging your congregation | A shared inbox where WhatsApp, SMS and email are first-class channels: one thread per person, templates, automatic opt-outs, mass sends. | Email blasts and US-style text messaging on credits. No WhatsApp inbox appears anywhere on their published plans. |
| Kids check-in | Self-serve kiosks with printed security tags, secure pickup codes and live headcounts. | Check-in and name tags appear as a line on the feature list. |
| Support | A real person in your timezone replies within one business day, on email or WhatsApp. | Free phone and email support. |
| Trial | 30 days, every module open, no card needed. You only add a payment method if you subscribe. | 30-day free trial. |

The bottom line.
Breeze's own homepage says the name is going away: the product is becoming Tithely Church Management and new signups already run through Tithely's funnel. The bill stays in dollars either way, the bundled giving does not list South Africa, and WhatsApp is nowhere on the plans. None of that moves your ministry forward; it moves your church into somebody else's consolidation story.
Church Flow asks a different question: what does a South African church actually run on? One Rand plan with every module included. A WhatsApp inbox the whole team works from. Giving that settles into your own bank account with no platform cut. Check-in that prints real security tags. Breeze is changing its name. Church Flow is changing how South African churches run.
