Nucleus builds and hosts your church website. AskMyChurch sits on the website you already have and answers people's questions from it. Same $99 sticker, different jobs — many churches would use both.
Nucleus and AskMyChurch both show up when a pastor searches for church website help, and both list at $99 a month — so they get compared. But they do different jobs. Nucleus builds and hosts the website. AskMyChurch sits on the website you already have and answers people's questions from it. If your website is old and you hate it, Nucleus solves that problem. If your website is fine but nobody can find answers on it at 9pm, that is the problem AskMyChurch solves.
Nucleus calls itself the premium church website builder, and the platform is genuinely full-featured. As of this writing, the $99/month plan includes the website itself (hosting, unlimited pages, templates, SEO, custom domain) plus a sermon hub with transcripts and podcast distribution, a private prayer wall, next-generation signup forms they call Flows, scheduled banners, and a persistent next-steps button called the Launcher. They list a native Planning Center integration and Google/Apple calendar connections. Giving, Messages (church email), and Media are add-ons at $49/month each, with a discount for stacking them. No contracts, cancel anytime.
Credit where due: that is a serious website product with pastoral instincts. A prayer wall that stays out of search results is a thoughtful touch, and their published pricing is refreshingly plain.
AskMyChurch is not a website. It is the layer that answers questions on one. A visitor types "do you have something for my kids on Sunday?" or "what does this church teach about baptism?" and gets an answer drawn only from your church's own website and sermons, with the source cited as part of the answer. New sermons index automatically each week and answers can link to the exact minute your pastor said it. Before any AI runs, a hard-coded crisis check screens every message — in English and Spanish — and routes acute distress to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), and your church's own care team. When your content doesn't hold an answer, it says so and hands the person to a real human.

One honest caution in both directions: neither product replaces the other. Nucleus does not answer your visitors' questions with grounded AI, and AskMyChurch will not build you a website. Budget for the job you actually have.
No. Nucleus builds and hosts your church website. AskMyChurch is an assistant that runs on whatever website you already have and answers visitors' questions from your own published content and sermons.
No, the matching sticker is a coincidence. Nucleus's $99 buys the website itself: hosting, pages, forms, a sermon hub. AskMyChurch's $99 buys the answer layer: grounded, cited answers from your content, a hard-coded crisis gate, and automatic English/Spanish.
AskMyChurch is added with a link or a QR code — about 30 minutes of setup, no integration with the website platform required. Nucleus's own site says it links to platforms you already use with embed sections, Launcher actions, and buttons.
As of this writing, the product lineup published on nucleus.church — the website platform plus Giving, Messages, and Media add-ons — does not list a congregant-facing AI assistant.
