  • Each has a real cost: Breeze single flat-rate plan only (no tiered options); may be expensive for very small churches; Tithely Church App card donations carry 2.9 percent plus $0.30, rising to 3.5 percent on American Express, so the free giving tier is not free to the church
  • They diverge on capability: Breeze covers Contact Management, Tithely Church App covers Mobile Giving.
