The short version

  • Only Givelify has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: easyTithe the 500 record limit on the Pro plan makes its bundled church management unusable for any congregation above that size, so mid-sized churches end up paying for a separate ChMS anyway.; Givelify transaction-based fees mean costs scale with donation volume rather than fixed monthly cost
  • They diverge on capability: easyTithe covers Online giving pages, Givelify covers Mobile Giving.
  • 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.

easyTithe

  • The 500 record limit on the Pro plan makes its bundled church management unusable for any congregation above that size, so mid-sized churches end up paying for a separate ChMS anyway.
  • Processing rates are higher than a church could negotiate directly with a merchant acquirer at volume, so large congregations giving over $25,000 a month should push for the discounted rate rather than accept published pricing.
  • It is one brand among many at Ministry Brands, and product investment has concentrated on the group's larger integrated platforms, so feature development here is slow.
  • The church management capability on Pro is thin next to Breeze or Planning Center, lacking real volunteer scheduling, service planning and child check-in depth.
  • A $10 monthly minimum applies regardless of activity, which is a small but real cost for a seasonal or plant church with quiet months.

Givelify

  • Transaction-based fees mean costs scale with donation volume rather than fixed monthly cost
