Ekkle vs. Subsplash
Polished apps and Pulpit AI are real. Lock-in, opaque stacks, and quote-only pricing are friction Ekkle removes.
Where Subsplash is strong
- •Polished custom mobile apps and a mature media/streaming story.
- •Pulpit AI is strong for sermon → clips, devotionals, and multi-channel content.
- •Large installed base and professional services.
Where Ekkle is stronger
- •Ekkle Assistant performs work inside your church app (events, pages, roster, notifications) — not only analytics or sermon repurposing.
- •Published plans: Free, then $49, $99, or $149/mo for the whole church; early adopter white-glove onboarding via meet.ekkle.app.
- •No Ekkle platform fee on top of Stripe for giving.
AI positioning
Pulpit AI repurposes sermon content; Trends AI builds charts from natural language — operational actions stay in traditional UI.
