  • Only eGiving has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Accordance Bible Software the Accordance mobile app is free but only includes a limited starter set of Bibles and reference works; the full library of additional translations, lexicons and commentaries must be purchased separately as add-on modules, per the App Store listing; eGiving being rebranded to Amplify by Ministry Brands, so the eGiving name is on its way out and egiving.com redirects to ministrybrands.com
  • They diverge on capability: Accordance Bible Software covers Original Language Tools, eGiving covers Online Giving.
