StewaraThe Breeze alternative with real fund accounting, and a free tier.
Breeze earns its reputation for being simple and affordable. That's a fair reputation. Stewara keeps Flock free, offers the full suite for $99/mo, and includes real fund accounting in that same subscription.

Stewara vs. Breeze
Breeze pricing verified September 3, 2026 from breezechms.com/pricing. Prices change; if you spot something out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.
Breeze is a genuinely simple, well-priced ChMS, and a church that only needs a clean database and giving is well served by it. Two things it does better than us, and one it does cheaper.
A lower flat price
$72/mo is less than $99/mo. If your church will never need fund accounting, two-way texting or a member home you design, Breeze is the cheaper bill, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Years of churches on it
Breeze has a long track record and a large installed base, which means more admins who already know it and more answers already written down.
Fewer decisions
One product, one price, unlimited users, no modules. Stewara has more in it, and more in it means more to set up.
Stewara Treasury: fund accounting Breeze simply doesn't have, in the same suite as your ChMS.
What you actually get for the same or less
Free to start, no card required
Flock — your people, families and care follow-ups — is free forever. Breeze has no free tier; you're on the $72/mo plan from day one.
See FlockFree people care, then one complete suite
Use Flock free for people, households, and care follow-ups. When the church needs the rest, Stewara is one $99/mo suite per church rather than a ladder of paid tiers.
See what the suite includesReal fund accounting, included
A true double-entry ledger — funds, budgets, bank reconciliation — in Stewara at no extra cost, or $30/mo on its own. Breeze has no accounting product built in.
See the ledgerOne bill, not two
Usually the church database is one subscription and the books are another. Stewara is $99/mo for the suite and the accounting, together.

Send me your Breeze export. I'll tell you what moves.
I'm David. I pastor Abounding Fellowship in Abilene, Texas, run its sound board on Sundays, and built Stewara after years of counting the offering and retyping it into accounting software that didn't know what a fund was. If you send your export, or just your questions, I'll go through it with you and tell you plainly whether Stewara fits your church, and what it would take to move.
Bring your Breeze export with you.
Export your people as a CSV, upload it, and look at the mapping and duplicate review before a single record is written. Your 30-day trial is every module in the suite except Stewara Assistant, no card required. And Flock stays free whatever you decide.
