The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Church Community Builder churchcommunitybuilder.com now redirects entirely to pushpay.com, confirming the product has been folded into Pushpay's ChMS/ChurchStaq line (Core, Advanced, Complete tiers); Pushpay's own pricing page states all dollar figures are withheld until a demo request or phone call to 1-844-PUSHPAY.; Overflow crypto carries a 3 percent fee on top of the base rate, which makes it the most expensive channel on the platform at exactly the point where donors expect it to be cheap.
  • They diverge on capability: Church Community Builder covers Private Social Network, Overflow covers Stock donation flow.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Church Community Builder

  • churchcommunitybuilder.com now redirects entirely to pushpay.com, confirming the product has been folded into Pushpay's ChMS/ChurchStaq line (Core, Advanced, Complete tiers); Pushpay's own pricing page states all dollar figures are withheld until a demo request or phone call to 1-844-PUSHPAY.

Overflow

  • Crypto carries a 3 percent fee on top of the base rate, which makes it the most expensive channel on the platform at exactly the point where donors expect it to be cheap.
  • Card processing at 2.75 percent plus 30 cents on the entry plan is above what a church can get from a dedicated church giving processor, so using Overflow for routine weekly giving costs more than it should.
  • It is a giving channel, not a church management system, so contributions must be reconciled into your existing ChMS and finance software, adding a second monthly close step.
  • Stock and DAF fees are quoted as a 1 to 3 percent range with the actual rate depending on transfer route, so an organisation cannot forecast net proceeds precisely before the gift settles.
  • Non-cash gifts settle over days rather than instantly, and the amount received depends on the price at liquidation, so the receipted value and the cash landed will not match.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Church Community Builder: Is there a free trial or evaluation period for Pushpay?

The page does not mention a free trial. The primary call-to-action is 'Book my demo', suggesting you must contact sales to evaluate the platform.

Source
Overflow: What does Overflow cost?

Foundation is 50 USD a month. Cards start at 2.75 percent plus 0.30, ACH at 0.50 percent plus 0.20, stock and DAF at 1 to 3 percent, and crypto adds 3 percent.

Church Community Builder: What does Pushpay cost?

No specific pricing is displayed on the main page. The page references a Plans section that contains pricing details, and a phone number (1-844-PUSHPAY / 1-844-787-4729) for inquiries. The page does mention an example of '$37K grown annually for churches of ~1,000', but this appears to be a revenue metric rather than pricing.

Source
Overflow: Why give stock instead of cash?

Transferring appreciated shares avoids the capital gains tax the donor would pay on selling first, so the same after-tax cost produces a larger gift.

Church Community Builder: What are the contract terms for Pushpay?

The page does not disclose contract length, minimum commitments, or billing cycles. This information would need to be obtained by reviewing the Plans page or contacting Pushpay directly.

Source
Overflow: Does Overflow replace our church management system?

No. It handles giving only and integrates with your existing ChMS.

Overflow: Do we hold the cryptocurrency?

No. Crypto gifts are liquidated and remitted as cash, so the organisation does not carry price risk after settlement.
