We've landed on the pricing structure Aurnet launches with. Four tiers, flat monthly rates in GBP, no per-seat charges. Here's how each tier shapes up — and why the numbers sit where they do.
The tiers at a glance
- Free — up to 30 members, 500 MB storage, and 1 cluster. Enough to stand up a church plant or evaluate Aurnet properly with your leadership team before paying anything.
- Starter · £49/month — giving with Gift Aid declarations, training and discipleship, analytics, and the admin depth a growing church actually needs.
- Growth · £99/month — the Website Builder & CMS, ticketing, registration forms, member journeys, and a sermon library. For established churches that want a real public site without hiring a developer.
- Pro · £179/month — SSO, white-label branding, a read-only REST API, priority support, a custom sender name on church emails, and unlimited clusters and departments. For larger churches.
- One all-in 3.5% + 20p giving fee across every paid tier — card processing included, no separate processing line, no tiered rates, no hidden charges.
- Storage overage priced per GB — £0.50 on every paid tier — so a church that needs extra headroom doesn't have to jump a whole tier.
These numbers reflect what it takes to build and run a production platform designed specifically for UK churches — more than 70 backend modules, native iOS and Android apps, a web dashboard, UK-hosted infrastructure, Stripe Connect and HMRC Gift Aid integration, and the ongoing support to keep it all running for churches that are trusting us with their Sunday. We've kept it flat-rate in GBP with no per-seat charges, because churches shouldn't be penalised for growing.
Why we moved the Website Builder to Growth
The Website Builder was sitting behind the £149/mo paywall, which meant almost no one would see it before launch. Moving it to Growth at £99/mo makes it accessible to the churches that need it most — established congregations who want a public-facing site without hiring a developer. It's one of Aurnet's biggest differentiators, and it deserves to be seen.
Storage overage pricing
Previously, if you hit your storage limit, you had to upgrade your entire plan. Now every paid tier has a flat per-GB overage rate of £0.50. Churches that need a bit more space don't have to jump to a higher tier just for storage — and the rate is the same whichever plan you are on, so there is nothing to work out.
The 3.5% + 20p giving fee
One simple, all-in fee. Every paid tier has the same 3.5% + 20p fee on giving transactions — and card processing is included in that single number, so we pay Stripe out of it rather than billing the church a second time. No tiered rates, no hidden second deduction, nothing for your members to opt into. Givers are charged exactly what they choose to give, and your church knows precisely what comes off each gift.
Existing churches on the old pricing will be grandfathered for 90 days. After that, plans will automatically align to the new structure at the next billing cycle.
