We’re thrilled to share one of the biggest updates in Display.Church history. We’ve spent the last year listening to your feedback, analyzing how you use the platform, and thinking hard about how to deliver more value, flexibility, and transparency — all without raising prices.
Today, we’re announcing some major (and exciting) changes that will go live on August 15, 2025 — and spoiler: you’re going to love them.
All Features, Now for Everyone
Let’s get straight to it: we’re removing all feature-based restrictions.
What does that mean for you?
✅ All display types (calendar, group, sign-up forms, event alerts, etc.)
✅ Access to CCB private events and Planning Center group filters
✅ Feature highlights and badges
✅ No more limits based on your plan
Every feature is now available to every account, no upgrade required. Whether you’re on a Starter plan or a Premium plan — you get it all.
Introducing Usage-Based Plans (But Don’t Panic)
To ensure sustainability and fairness, we’re transitioning to a usage-based model. But don’t worry — your current usage will be grandfathered in.
Here’s the rollout timeline:
- Now → August 15: Nothing changes.
- August 15 – October 15: You’ll enter a 60-day grace period. Need to add more widgets, domains, or team members? We’ll help — just reach out.
- October 15 onward: Your account’s usage limits will be locked in based on your current needs, and new plans will align with actual usage.
What Will Be Tracked?
We’ve carefully selected the things that actually impact system resources. These are the areas where usage tracking will apply:
- 📍 Published Widgets (You can create as many drafts as you want)
- 🌐 Website Domains (We’re increasing limits for everyone!)
- 👥 Team Members
- 🧱 Website Embeds
- 📆 Total Synced Events (Coming Soon)
- 👁️ Widget Views/month (Coming Soon)
But Wait — There’s More!
Those last two (synced events and widget views) are more than just limits. They’ll unlock powerful analytics, including:
- Which widgets are being viewed most
- How many times per day your widgets are being accessed
- (Eventually) Where in the world your events are being viewed
With this data, you’ll be able to make better decisions about your event strategy — like what’s working, what’s not, and where your audience is engaging.
No Price Increases (Yes, Really)
We know you’re wondering — will my plan price go up?
The answer: No. Not this year.
There will be no price increases, and we’re removing the branded widget option entirely — which means:
- All widgets will now be unbranded by default
- Your plan price stays the same
- You just get more, not less
A Quick Note About Usage Tiers
We want to be transparent: after October 15, we’ll start reaching out to high-usage accounts to discuss possible upgrades to better match your resource needs.
👉 But here’s the good news:
About 90–95% of current users are already within the upcoming plan limits — so you likely won’t need to do anything at all.
And if you’re using less than expected once analytics roll out?
You may even be eligible to downgrade to a smaller plan and save. 💡
What’s Coming Next?
This update is just the beginning. We’ve also been working behind the scenes on:
- ✨ A redesigned event details page
- 💌 Additional communication tools (Mailchimp is just the start!)
- 📈 Richer analytics and engagement insights
- 🎁 A few secret features we’re not ready to reveal just yet 😉
Final Thoughts
At Display.Church, we’re committed to helping churches and ministries communicate better, reach more people, and create meaningful connections.
This change represents our continued investment in your success — giving you more freedom, more data, and more value than ever before.
We’ll send more reminders as we approach the August 15 transition. But for now, relax — nothing’s changing yet. And when it does, we’ve got you covered.
