Gloo's church-facing AI assistant is free to start. The full cost is harder to pin down, because Gloo is a large platform whose paid products don't carry one published price — while AskMyChurch is a flat $99 per month for churches under 500 in weekend attendance, with the price printed on the site and a 30-day free trial in front of it.
Both of those facts matter, so here is the honest breakdown of each.
Gloo is the category leader in faith tech, and it is built as a network rather than a single tool. Churches join the platform and get access to assessments, outreach and messaging tools, ministry resources, and an AI assistant. Much of that entry layer is free. The paid layer — premium tools and expanded features — is priced through conversations with their team, and what a given church pays depends on what it adds. As of this writing, there is no page where you can look up one number for the whole thing.
That model works for a lot of churches. It also means the real question is not "how much does Gloo cost" but "how much will Gloo cost my church, for the specific things we want, a year from now." You find that out on a call, not on a pricing page.
Price only matters next to what the assistant actually does. Four questions worth writing down before any demo:
AskMyChurch publishes everything:
Every plan is the same complete product. There is a 30-day free trial, a money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime. The number you see is the number you pay.
The assistant answers only from your church's own website and sermons. It does not pull from the open internet, and it does not invent answers — if something isn't in your content, it says so and hands the conversation to a real person on your team.
Sermon answers cite to the minute. Ask what the pastor said about forgiveness, and the answer links to the exact moment in the message through the Canon layer, so people hear it in the pastor's own words instead of an AI paraphrase.
Before any AI response runs, a hard-coded crisis check screens the message — in English and in Spanish — and routes acute distress to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line. The AI never attempts a pastoral response in a crisis.
Bilingual English and Spanish is standard, not an upgrade. The whole thing is built to work like the front door of your church, always open, with a human on the other side of it.
If you want the wider network — assessments, outreach campaigns, a large resource library — Gloo is the established platform, and its free tier is a reasonable way to look around. Just get the paid pricing for the pieces you actually want in writing before you build on it.
If you want one specific thing — an assistant on your own site, answering from your own sermons, at a price you can read before you talk to anyone — that is what AskMyChurch was built to be.
If you're pricing this out now, the docs at /docs cover setup, safety, and exactly what the assistant will and won't say. Or start at askchurch.ai and run the 30-day trial against your own website and sermon archive.
Gloo's church-facing AI assistant is free to start, and much of the platform's entry layer — assessments, outreach and messaging tools, ministry resources — is free as well. The paid layer of premium tools has no single published price; it is priced through conversations with Gloo's team, and what a church pays depends on what it adds.
Gloo is built as a network rather than a single tool, and its paid products don't carry one published price. As of this writing, there is no page where you can look up one number for the whole platform — you find out what your church would pay on a call with their team.
AskMyChurch publishes its full pricing: $99/month for churches under 500 in weekend attendance, $249/month for 500 to 2,000, and $500/month for over 2,000 or multi-campus, with a 30-day free trial, a money-back guarantee, and cancel-anytime terms. Gloo's paid pricing, by contrast, is not published — it is set through conversations with their team.
Every plan is the same complete product: an assistant that answers only from your church's own website and sermons, cites sermon answers to the minute, and hands off to a real person on your team when it doesn't know an answer. It also includes a hard-coded crisis check in English and Spanish that routes acute distress to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line, with bilingual English and Spanish standard on every plan.
