Priced so a 100-client firm makes sense, not just a 1-org church

Firm-tier math
What 50 client churches actually costs
steepl Firm
$399 + 50 × $19 = $1,349/mo
~$16,188/year. SCIM + cross-client console + migration engineers included. No per-tenant entity floor.
Aplos at 50 clients
~$77,400/year
50 × Aplos Core ($129/mo) before partner discount. Oversight is login federation only — no firm console, no batch operations.
Source for Aplos pricing: aplos.com/pricing (accessed 2026-05-20). Partner discount typically 15–25%; even at 25%, the comparison remains favorable by >3×. The savings buy back firm capacity that today goes to switching between 50 individual logins.
