  • MasjidBox is Europe-based with € pricing; MasjidConnect is UK-based with £ pricing.
  • MasjidBox has a broader global footprint; MasjidConnect is built for UK masjids with £ pricing and local jamaat workflows.
  • MasjidConnect offers a free tier with 1 screen; MasjidBox's free tier is more limited.
  • Both advertise screens that keep working offline. With MasjidConnect that needs our Display Unit.

Why committees pick MasjidConnect

MasjidConnect is UK-native: £ pricing, UK support, and UK prayer calculation methods. No currency conversion, and jamaat rules that match British masjid timetables.

No hardware lock-in: use any TV with a Raspberry Pi or Android device. MasjidConnect keeps showing cached prayer times and slides when Wi‑Fi is unreliable in older buildings.

Screens, events, donations, and CRM live in one dashboard. MasjidBox splits them across separate products (Screens, Applications, Pages) you may need to stitch together.

Where MasjidBox might suit you better

MasjidConnect's Community app is included with every paid licence, fed from the same dashboard as your screens. MasjidBox Applications is a separate white-label product if you need a dedicated branded app today.

If your masjid is outside the UK and prefers € pricing, MasjidBox may suit you better. It has a broader global footprint and serves organisations from small prayer rooms to major Islamic centres.

From a masjid that uses it

Having tried several masjid display platforms over the years, MasjidConnect stands out for its flexibility, customisation, ease of use and excellent support.

“What I value most is the team’s willingness to listen to feedback and continually improve the platform. They genuinely take suggestions on board and are committed to developing a solution that better serves the masjids and communities they support.”

MasjidConnect vs MasjidBox: questions

Is MasjidConnect better than MasjidBox?

MasjidConnect suits UK masjids that want £ pricing, offline screens, and prayer times, giving, and programmes in one dashboard. MasjidBox has wider global reach and a mobile app today. If Wi‑Fi in your building is patchy and you want prices in pounds with no contract, compare both pricing pages.

Can I switch from MasjidBox to MasjidConnect?

Yes. You can export your data from MasjidBox and set up MasjidConnect the same evening. You can upload your prayer timetable from Excel or CSV, and import members from a CSV file. Start free: your first 30 days include everything in the Masjid licence, so you can try it properly before committing.

Which is cheaper, MasjidConnect or MasjidBox?

MasjidConnect starts free with 1 screen forever. The Masjid licence is £25 a month with no contract, or £499 paid once. MasjidBox charges a monthly subscription in euros. Compare what each costs over five years.

Does MasjidConnect offer the same features as MasjidBox?

Both offer digital signage, prayer times, donations, and content management. MasjidConnect adds offline screens, UK prayer methods, and one dashboard instead of separate products. MasjidBox has a mature white-label app; MasjidConnect's shared Community app, with push and in-app giving, is included with every paid licence.

Which masjid management software is best for UK masjids?

MasjidConnect is built in the UK for UK masjids, with prices in pounds, UK prayer time methods and Gift Aid. Which suits you depends on what your masjid needs, so compare the features and what each costs over five years.

Will someone come and install the screens for us?

Yes. MasjidConnect offers a done-for-you installation service across the UK. We supply the screens, mount and wire them, and train your committee on-site. With MasjidBox the masjid sets up its own screens. See our masjid display installation page for details.

Can you help us switch over from MasjidBox with installation included?

Yes. When you book an installation visit, we configure MasjidConnect from scratch on-site. You export your timetable data from MasjidBox and we import it. Your screens are live before we leave.

Try MasjidConnect free.

Your first 30 days include everything in the Masjid licence. No credit card needed. You can connect your first screen the same evening.

No contract. Stop any time.
