Rock RMS Pricing, Plans & Alternatives (2026)

Overview

Rock RMS is an open-source relationship management system for churches developed by Spark Development Network^[9]. It is distributed under the Rock Community License, which grants a no-charge, royalty-free right of use solely for internal use by faith-based organisations recognised by the US Internal Revenue Service as 501(c)(3) entities; for-profit and non-faith-based organisations, including managed hosting providers, need a commercial licence^[15].

Rock’s feature set is among the broadest in this list: check-in, metrics and reporting, prayer, finance, event registration and workflows; email, SMS conversations, push notifications and communication flows; websites, mobile and TV apps and content management; groups, group scheduling, connections, steps, a learning management system and sign-ups; and AI agents, MCP agents and prayer automations^[9].

Churches can self-host or use Rock On the Cloud hosting partners. The software is free but running it is not: self-hosting requires technical staff, and the licence restricts use to qualifying US organisations.
