The plan
One plan, both apps, priced per seat.
A church buys it once, for everyone it gives a seat to, on one invoice with one renewal date.
There is no individual plan and no group-leader plan, and nothing is sold inside either app. If your church holds the plan, everyone who joins with your church’s code has both apps, in a small group or not.
Somebody can belong to more than one church, so you can cover a person who also attends elsewhere without asking them to choose. They hold one of your seats either way.
Both apps, always together
Thread and Emberside are one plan. There is no version of this where you take one and not the other.
Per seat, starting at twenty
You choose how many seats to buy and your people take them up with one code, for the whole congregation or to start smaller. Add seats any time, and lower the number at renewal. Twenty seats is the smallest plan we write.
One invoice, one renewal date
Not two subscriptions to reconcile and not a per-leader licence to track.
Tax exemption after the fact
Send your exemption number with the request and it is applied before the invoice goes out. It is not a field that has to be filled in before you can start.
What it costs
Prices are quoted rather than printed.
Tell us roughly how many seats you need and the reply carries the number and an invoice you can pay by card.
Setting a church up is done by hand at the moment, so there is no checkout button here. A person reads your email and answers it.
You are writing to Aaron, who built both apps.
Worth knowing before you ask
Two things we would rather you heard from us.
- Both apps are still young. Thread and Emberside are built by one person, and the library is 182 lessons rather than tens of thousands. Everything on this site is either shipped or named as not shipped.
- The Bible reader is free either way. Anyone can install Thread and read three translations, listen to the Berean Standard Bible, and take it all offline, whether or not their church ever holds the plan. That part is not a trial.
Anything else, just ask. A question by email is welcome and it does not put you on a list.
