Subsplash

What Subsplash does

Subsplash is a Seattle-based vertical SaaS company founded in 2005 that operates an all-in-one engagement platform serving more than 20,000 churches and ministries globally, including named customers such as Harvest Christian Fellowship, Saddleback Church, Fresh Life Church, The Village Church, and National Community Church. The platform, marketed as Subsplash One, integrates custom-branded mobile and TV apps (iPhone, Android, Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Roku, CarPlay, Android Auto), drag-and-drop church websites, online giving (card, ACH, cash, check, stock, crypto), ad-free media hosting and live streaming, a Church Management System (ChMS), groups and messaging, event management, and AI-powered content and analytics tools. Companion offerings include Subsplash Tap NFC hardware for tap-to-give, tap-to-connect, and tap-to-register, and GrowCurve, an automated processing fee rebate program for digital giving. The company employs 101-250 people.

Technology is delivered through a unified cloud platform with one-click publishing across website, mobile apps, and podcast endpoints, enterprise-grade REST API access, and a multimodal AI layer built around the acquired Pulpit AI engine (sermon-to-content generation producing video clips, devotionals, small group guides, and social posts), Trends AI analytics dashboards, AI Communication Content, AI People Assistant, and an AI Analytics Suite across Giving, People, Attendance, and Groups. Pulpit AI was acquired in December 2024; founder Michael Whittle joined as VP of Artificial Intelligence. Enterprise customers can also use the Workflows product for Kanban-style process automation on tasks such as visitor follow-up, connect cards, and room reservations.

The business model combines platform subscriptions sized to church size and product mix, transaction-based processing fees on donations (with the basic giving tier priced at $0/month), and professional services for enterprise integrations. Go-to-market is hybrid - self-serve acquisition through Subsplash Giving combined with inside and field sales for mid-market and enterprise churches, supported by a community-led referral motion and content marketing across blog, weekly newsletter, webinars, and the Equip & Engage podcast. Subsplash was backed by K1 Investment Management and is in the process of being acquired by Roper Technologies, a publicly traded diversified industrial technology company, as announced in July 2025.

Revenue model

1. Platform Subscriptions: Subsplash operates primarily as a subscription-based platform providing churches with an all-in-one engagement solution. Churches pay recurring fees for access to the platform including apps, websites, media, giving, ChMS, and AI tools.
2. Transaction/Giving Fees: While basic online giving starts at $0/month, Subsplash generates revenue through transaction processing fees on donations. The GrowCurve program provides fee rebates as churches grow, suggesting a tiered fee structure.
3. Professional Services: Enterprise solutions include powerful integrations, API access, and custom implementation support for larger churches and ministry organizations.
