Is Passport a good Breeze alternative?

It can replace Breeze, and it can also run alongside it. Passport Companion ($49/month) adds guest follow-up next to Breeze. If you would rather run everything in one system, Passport Plus ($69/month) covers people, groups, classes, check-in, giving and service planning.

Does Passport sync with Breeze?

Import your people, tags, events and attendance history from Breeze. While the connection is set to keep Breeze updated, each new guest Passport captures is added to Breeze, matched to anyone already there so nobody is entered twice. If you take attendance in Breeze, Passport reads it from the Breeze events you match to your services, so it knows when a guest comes back.

Will guests end up in Breeze twice?

No. While the connection is set to keep Breeze updated, each new guest Passport captures is added to Breeze, matched to anyone already there so nobody is entered twice.

How much does it cost to run Breeze and Passport together?

Breeze lists $72/month (checked July 2026). Adding Passport Companion at $49/month brings the total to $121/month. Passport's plans are flat, so the price does not rise as your database grows.

Do our volunteers have to learn another system?

Most of them don't. Your staff keep using Breeze for everything they do today, and only the people who follow up with guests use Passport, from a guest inbox and a short list of who to contact. Most churches are live in under 30 minutes.

Is Companion worth $49/month for a small church?

U.S. households that gave to religious congregations gave an average of $2,738 in 2020 (Philanthropy Panel Study, 2020 giving). At that average, one family who stays covers a year of Passport Companion ($588/yr) about 4 times over. You can put in your own church's numbers on the ROI calculator.

Can we cancel if it isn’t a fit?

Yes. You can cancel a monthly plan anytime, and every plan can export your own data as CSV. The 30-day free trial has no charge today.

Should a Breeze church switch to Passport?

Usually not. Breeze can stay your church database while Passport Companion handles guest follow-up beside it. Passport imports your people, tags, events and attendance history from Breeze, can add each new guest back into Breeze without duplicates, and reads Breeze attendance to see who came back. Companion is $49/month. Breeze is $72/month.

How does Passport work with Breeze?

Passport works alongside Breeze and Planning Center. Keep your church database where it is: your staff and volunteers go on using the system they know, and Passport handles follow-up with your guests.

Connect Breeze
Import your people, tags, events and attendance history from Breeze.
Capture every guest
Guests come in from your Visit page, connection card or QR welcome card. While the connection is set to keep Breeze updated, each new guest Passport captures is added to Breeze, matched to anyone already there so nobody is entered twice.
Follow up by name
Within 48 hours of a first visit, a named person gets a care assignment, and a Guest Journey sends the first texts and emails until the guest is connected to a group, class or ministry.
See who came back
If you take attendance in Breeze, Passport reads it from the Breeze events you match to your services, so it knows when a guest comes back.

The first few Sundays decide it. In a Lifeway Research survey, 71% of churchgoers who switched churches decided to attend regularly within three visits; only 20% decided after a single visit. Lifeway Research, 2023.
