Passport vs Breeze ChMS
Breeze is one of the best church databases available — simple, affordable, and trusted by thousands of churches. But Breeze doesn't have a visitor retention layer. Passport does. And because Passport imports your Breeze contacts seamlessly, many churches run both together rather than choosing between them.

Which tool is right for you?
Breeze and Passport serve genuinely different purposes. Here's how to think about the choice — or the combination.
Add Passport if you're on Breeze
If your church already uses Breeze and your biggest frustration is that first-time visitors fall through the cracks, Passport is designed exactly for this. You don't replace Breeze — you extend it. Passport has its own people database, but the Breeze import means you can leave Breeze as your member-of-record if you want to, while Passport handles the newcomer journey: mobile-first visitor portal, QR check-in, gift card incentives issued at intake, and group pathways. At $9.95–$99/month, it often pays for itself with a single retained family.
Choose Breeze if…
You're a small church that needs a reliable, no-fuss people database, attendance tracker, and giving platform — and visitor retention isn't yet your primary challenge. Breeze at $72/month is excellent value for what it covers. Its simplicity is a real strength. When visitor retention does become a priority, Passport is there — and the integration is ready whenever you are.
