Looking for a Clover Sites alternative?
What happened to Clover Sites
Clover Sites is now run by Ministry Brands Holdings, LLC — the site itself carries a “Clover Sites by Ministry Brands” mark and a Ministry Brands copyright line. It’s been folded into Ministry Brands’ broader Amplify product roll-up alongside the company’s other church-software brands.
Historically, Clover’s setup ran around $1,000 up front plus a recurring monthly fee — a real cost on top of the sticker price. Church Digital charges $0 to set up, ever. If your church is re-evaluating its site because of the Ministry Brands changeover, here’s the honest alternative.

What Church Digital does
- We rebuild your existing content on a new site — done for you, not another builder to learn
- $120/month is the whole price. No setup fee, no build fee
- No contract — cancel anytime, from your account
- Hosting and updates included; a real person answers within one business day
Moving off Clover Sites, step by step
Moving a church website sounds bigger than it is. Your content — service times, staff pages, sermons, ministry pages — is yours, and it comes with you. Your domain name is yours too: it’s registered to your church, not to Clover, and pointing it at a new site is a settings change, not a rebuild.
Here’s how it works with us: you request the free review, we record a video walking through your current Clover site, and if you want the rebuild we do the work — we move your content onto a custom design, reconnect your giving platform exactly as it is, and keep your old site live until the new one is ready. There’s no overlap gap and no weekend where the church has no website.
The whole price is $120/month, published. No setup fee to move, no contract once you have — if it stops being right for your church, you cancel from your account.
What changes for whoever updates the site
On Clover, updates were your team’s job in Clover’s editor — the Greenhouse tool was genuinely friendly, and plenty of churches liked it. With Church Digital nobody on your team learns an editor at all: you email the change, we make it, usually within one business day. For churches whose “website volunteer” left three years ago, that’s the actual difference in kind.

Who should stay on Clover Sites
Honestly, some churches should stay put. Stay if:
- Your church already uses other Ministry Brands products (giving, church management, streaming) and the bundle is doing real work — consolidation has value this page doesn’t pretend away.
- You have a volunteer who genuinely enjoys the Greenhouse editor and keeps the site current. A fresh, tended Clover site beats a neglected anything.
- Your renewal terms are already locked in at a price your board is happy with. Switching costs attention even when it costs $0 in setup.
Common questions
- Is Clover Sites shutting down?
- Not as far as Clover has said publicly. What’s changed is ownership and packaging: Clover Sites is run by Ministry Brands Holdings, LLC and has been folded into their Amplify product roll-up alongside their other church-software brands. Existing sites keep working — the question churches are asking is what the product and pricing look like going forward, and that’s worth asking Ministry Brands directly, in writing.
- What does Clover Sites cost now?
- Current pricing isn’t published on cloversites.com, so we won’t quote a number we can’t verify. Historically, Clover’s setup ran around $1,000 up front plus a recurring monthly fee. If you’re evaluating staying, ask for the full current price — setup, monthly, and term — in writing.
- Can we keep our domain and our content if we leave Clover?
- Yes. Your domain is registered to your church and moves with you — pointing it at the new site is a DNS change, not a rebuild. Your content (service times, staff, sermons, ministry pages) is yours, and rebuilding it on the new site is part of the work we do, not an extra line item.
- How is Church Digital different at $120/month?
- We only do church websites, and we do the work: custom design, hosting, and routine updates handled for you — you email the change. The whole price is published: $120/month flat, $0 setup, no contract. No bundle, no quote call, no build fee.
- Will our church be without a website during the move?
- No. Your current Clover site stays live while we build. We switch the domain over only when the new site is ready and you’ve approved it — the church never has a dead link on a Sunday.
