Ekkle

What Ekkle is

Ekkle is a church platform for messaging, events, groups, sermons, live streaming, giving, SMS, analytics and administration. Its in-app Assistant can create or update events, pages, home blocks, volunteer rosters and push notifications, and search sermon transcripts. Sermon tools include a library, transcription, study guides and live broadcasts with replay. Churches can connect YouTube and Facebook to forward broadcasts. Donations run through Stripe for one-time or recurring giving; standard Stripe processing fees apply, and Ekkle says it adds no platform percentage. Ekkle is available in a browser on modern devices and as a native iOS app. Android phones and tablets can use the browser version, while a church-branded iOS app is available on request. The Early adopter plan costs $149.99 a month for a whole church, with no per-member or per-seat fee and white-glove onboarding. Applicants are reviewed personally, and there is no self-serve trial. Ekkle says private messages are encrypted before database storage and that church administrators cannot read them unless they are part of the conversation.
