Flocknote pricing in 2026 is free for churches under 40 members, then $10 a month at 41 to 50 members and $17 at 51 to 70, rising with your member count from there. Flocknote Complete, the version with the household database, adds $75 a month. Phone calls, extra keywords and long or picture texts cost extra.

That's the answer. Now the fine print.

Because there is fine print. Flocknote's own site lists two different prices for Complete. And the add-ons are where a "free" or "$17" plan quietly turns into something else.

I run Evant, so I'm not neutral. I'll be straight about where Flocknote is the better deal, and I'll keep Evant to one section near the end.

Pricing and features checked November 2026 on Flocknote's pricing page and help center. Prices change, so confirm in Flocknote's calculator before you budget.

The short version

• Under 40 members: free for life, with unlimited email and unlimited standard texts.
• 41 to 70 members: $10 to $17 a month.
• A 400-member parish: about $58 a month on Starter, or about $133 on Complete.
• Extras: 9¢ per phone call per member, $5 a month per extra keyword, and SuperTexting credits for anything over 160 characters or with a picture.
• Giving: included, with processing fees of 1.1% + 30¢ per ACH gift and 2.9% + 30¢ per card gift.

Flocknote pricing 2026 by church size

Flocknote doesn't charge by message. It charges by how many members are in your network. Send one text a month or one a day, the Starter price is the same.

Here's the table. The first three rows come straight from Flocknote's pricing calculator. The rest come from a third-party review that copied Flocknote's full bracket table, so treat those as close, not gospel. Complete is worked out the way Flocknote's pricing page explains it: Starter plus $75.

A few things jump out.

The jump from free to paid is tiny. $10. Nobody is getting ripped off at 45 members.

The curve stays gentle after that. Going from 200 members to 400 adds $16 a month on Starter.

For a mid-size parish, Complete more than doubles the bill. That's the real decision.

So which Complete price is real?

Here's my issue. Flocknote's pricing page says Complete is "$75/month plus the price for the total number of members in your network." Their help center article on cost calls Complete "a flat-rate price of $75 / month (no matter the size of your church.)"

Those can't both be true.

The pricing page was updated in October 2026. That help article was last updated in January 2024. So I'd go with the pricing page. At 400 members that's $133 a month, not $75. Over a year, $1,596 instead of $900.

Before you upgrade, email Flocknote and get the Complete price for your exact member count in writing. Two lines. Done.

The add-ons that change the bill

"Unlimited standard texts" is true. The word doing the work is "standard."

Sources: SuperTexting, phone calls, text-to-join keywords and giving fees, all from Flocknote.

SuperTexting is the one to watch. Flocknote doesn't publish the credit pack prices outside the app, so I can't give you a number. I can give you the math. One picture flyer to 300 phones is 300 credits. Do that every week and you're near 1,200 credits a month. The free 100 go fast.

Calls are cheaper than people expect. 50 landline-only members, called four times a month, is 200 calls. At 9¢ each, that's $18.

Keywords only matter if you use a lot of them. A text-to-join keyword is the word people text to sign up, like JOIN or FISHFRY. One per flyer adds up at $5 a month each.

Three churches, three bills

A 35-member house church sending announcements: $0. Hard to beat.

A 150-member church on Starter that calls 20 landline homes once a week: $42 plus about $7 in calls. Call it $49 a month, before any SuperTexting.

A 400-member parish on Complete running 8 keywords: $133, plus $15 for the 3 keywords past the 5 included. $148 a month, before SuperTexting and calls.

Where Flocknote is the better deal

I'll say it plainly. If you're under 40 members, use Flocknote. Free for life with unlimited email and standard texts is a great offer.

If you're a Catholic parish that wants sacrament tracking, religious ed registration and ready-made content from partners like Word on Fire and Ascension Press, Complete puts that in one place. I put the parish options side by side in best texting app for Catholic parishes.

And giving with no monthly fee is a real plus.

What I'd ask Flocknote before signing

Who counts as a member? Your bill is set by member count, so ask how inactive or bounced contacts are counted.

What does Complete cost at my size? In writing.

What do SuperTexting packs cost? Especially if you like sending pictures.

How Evant prices it

Different model. Evant is usage-based, not freemium.

Here's why. Every number has to be registered with the carriers and every campaign has to be compliant, so every setup has real cost and real work behind it. A free-forever plan doesn't fit that. Our free trial is there so you can check out the system with zero obligation.

Plans start at $20 a month. Free trial, no credit card. Voice calls are on every plan at 1.5¢ a minute. Every customer gets a customizable Stripe donation page at no extra charge, plus free email. We handle your A2P 10DLC registration, and you get a dedicated 10-digit number.

And RSVPs are a reply, not a form. "Reply YES." That's it. I walk through text-to-RSVP in the video below.

Where Flocknote still wins against us: there's no free-forever tier at Evant, and we don't have a household database. If those two matter most, Flocknote is the pick.

FAQ

How much does Flocknote cost per month?

Flocknote is free for churches under 40 members. After that, Flocknote Starter is $10 a month for 41 to 50 members and $17 for 51 to 70, and the price keeps rising with member count. Flocknote Complete adds $75 a month on top of the Starter price, according to Flocknote's pricing page.

Is Flocknote really free?

Yes, for networks under 40 members. Flocknote calls it free for life, and it includes unlimited email and unlimited standard texts. Longer or picture texts (SuperTexting), phone calls and extra keywords still cost extra.

How much is Flocknote Complete?

Flocknote's pricing page says Complete is $75 a month plus your member-count price, so $85 at 41 to 50 members and $92 at 51 to 70. An older Flocknote help article describes it as a flat $75 a month, so ask Flocknote to confirm your exact price in writing.

Does Flocknote charge extra for texts?

Standard texts are unlimited. A standard text is under 160 characters with no image. Anything longer (up to 480 characters) or with a picture is a SuperText and uses 1 credit per person. Every network gets 100 free credits, and more are sold in credit packs.

So is Flocknote worth the money in 2026?

For small churches, yes. Free is free.

For a growing parish, it's still fair. Just budget for Complete and SuperTexting, not the sticker price.
