The Mailchimp alternative built for Planning Center
Flowforth connects directly with Planning Center so you can stop exporting CSVs, stop paying for contacts you don't email, and start sending beautiful emails to your church.
Stop paying for contacts
Mailchimp charges based on how many contacts you have, including unsubscribed ones. Every time Planning Center syncs more people in, your bill goes up. Flowforth charges based on sends, so you only pay for what you actually use.
Your whole congregation, no extra cost
Per-contact pricing penalizes churches for growing. When Planning Center syncs new people into Mailchimp, your bill increases even if you never email those contacts. With Flowforth, unlimited contacts are included on every plan. You only pay for the emails you actually send.

syncedAlways up to date when you hit send
With Mailchimp, you have to wait for a sync to finish before your lists are up to date, and it can overwrite people who share an email address. Flowforth pulls the latest list results from Planning Center at the time you send, so your emails always go to the right people.
Planning Center stays the source of truth
Families often share an email address. Mailchimp overwrites these records during sync, so you lose track of individual people. Flowforth keeps every person as a separate contact, matching exactly what you see in Planning Center. And don't worry, we make sure the same email address never receives the same message twice.
