Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. EmployeeDeskHQ publishes no acknowledgement rate, no engagement benchmark and no response-time standard: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own team's figures.
A church communication system is not one app, it is the agreement that survives volunteer turnover: the grid saying what each ministry hears on each channel, owners and deadlines per channel, acknowledgement rules for the notices that matter, and one record of what went out. Write the agreement once and any volunteer can run it. The strategy grid and checklist on this site produce the agreement from your own figures, free and without an account; EmployeeDeskHQ Pro runs it: lists, sending, acknowledgements, record.

A system is what survives handover
The test is the new volunteer in week one: can they see what goes where, when it is due and who owns each channel? If the answer lives in someone's head, the church has a person, not a system.
The written half
The grid, the owners, the deadlines and the acknowledgement rules, printed from the tools on this site and kept where volunteers can read them. This half is free because it is the church's own decisions, worked from its own figures.
The running half
Lists per ministry, announcements sent on the right channels, acknowledgements recorded, the chase list produced. This half is the software, and it is the part that should cost money.
Sized for a real office
On the worked example, 8 announcements a week across 2 volunteers is 4 each, and the deadline is what keeps that sustainable through Advent. From the vendor's own pricing page: Blink lists Core at $5.60 per user per month billed monthly or $3.75 billed annually, and Pro at $7.00 monthly or $5.00 annually. EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is $29 per month for the whole team, which undercuts the per-user benchmark from six seats.
Church communication system: common questions
What makes a good church communication system?
Written decisions (grid, owners, deadlines, acknowledgement rules) plus software that runs them; the first half is free on this site.
Can a small church run this with volunteers?
That is the design: the agreement survives turnover and the software does the chasing.
What does the system cost?
The planning tools are free; Pro, the running half, is $29 a month for the whole church.
