Ummah vs Masjid Solutions
Both run masajid. Masjid Solutions quotes its software and sells kiosk hardware by the device. Ummah bundles everything in one published price: events, members, donations at 0%, the Ummah Kiosk and TV displays on hardware you already own, vendor booth maps and a website we build, $75 a month. Here is the honest split, including where they are ahead.
The building and the reach, in one published price.
Masjid Solutions is built around on-site hardware: tap-to-give kiosks, handheld donation devices and digital signage that runs prayer times on a screen in the lobby. That is a real product line and it ships today. The kiosks are bought by the device, and the software is priced by quote.
Ummah covers the building without new hardware. The Ummah Kiosk takes tap-to-pay donations, checks people in and signs up new members on a tablet you already own, and TV displays put prayer and iqama times, events and campaign totals on the TVs already on your walls. Both are included in the $75 Advanced plan, next to events, members and dues, donations at 0%, vendor booth maps and a website we build, and the whole rate card is public.
Ummah is also built around a problem a kiosk cannot solve. A masjid does not usually struggle to collect from the people already standing in it. It struggles to reach the family that moved into the area last spring and does not know the masjid exists. That is what the discovery app and the public community pages are for.

Nobody discovers a masjid through its own app.
A masjid-specific app reaches people who already downloaded it, which means people who already attend. Ummah lists your events in a feed that 30,000+ Muslims already use to find what is on near them, so a listing can reach somebody who has never heard of you.
- Your events surface to Muslims searching nearby, not only to your members
- A public community page that search engines and AI assistants can read
- Discover Nearby puts your masjid on the map for new arrivals
- No app download required for someone to RSVP
A number you can put in a budget.
Ummah publishes its rate card. Free to start, $19/mo with a website we build, $75/mo with a 0% platform fee and the kiosk and TV displays included. Masjid Solutions does not publish pricing, so a board comparing the two has to book a call before it can compare anything at all.
- Every plan and fee listed publicly
- The Ummah Kiosk and TV displays included on Advanced, with no hardware to buy
- 0% platform fee on Advanced, so fundraising totals stay whole
- Free events carry no platform fee on any plan
- Full export, no lock-in and no export fee
