PewHQ - The church back office, joined to the pew

by•
PewHQ runs a church in one system: people, giving with real fund accounting, groups that talk by email, child check-in, a website, and a member app with a free Bible. Prices are published, and giving fees are passed through at cost with no markup.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Rod, and I built PewHQ. Church management software is an old category, and most of it shares three problems: you only get a price after a sales demo, there's a quiet markup on every donation, and there's a member app nobody opens. PewHQ is one system that tries to fix all three. What's actually different: • Groups talk by email. Every group gets an address, and people reply from Gmail or Outlook with no app or login. Reply goes to one person; Reply all goes to the group. • Youth supervision is automatic. If anyone in a group is under 18, their parents are copied on everything and can download the whole record. Every transcript view is logged, staff included. • Real fund accounting, not labels on a total: restricted and unrestricted net assets, months you can close, and every bank deposit itemised down to the gifts inside it. • Giving fees at cost, roughly 2.2% on cards and 0.8% on bank transfers, paid straight into the church's own Stripe account. We take no cut. • Church data is separated by the database itself (Postgres row-level security, forced on every table), not by code remembering to filter. The rule behind every AI feature: AI never sums money and never writes to the database. It maps import columns, drafts messages, and answers plain-English questions about your own data, read-only. A person commits everything. Try it without signing up: → Two-minute tour of the real screens: pewhq.com/tour → The free Bible (offline, 7 languages, side-by-side): pewhq.com/bible What isn't done yet: [check this against launch day] texting is waiting on carrier registration, social posts are drafted by AI and pasted in rather than published directly, and SOC 2 is on the roadmap, not in hand. Pricing: free up to about 100 people, $49/month unlimited, $99/month Pro. No contracts. If you've ever been the volunteer stuck running your church's software, I'd really like to hear what it got wrong.
