The short version

  • 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.; Pushpay the pricing page names Core, Advanced and Complete packages but publishes no price, no minimum and no per-transaction rate for any of them
  • They diverge on capability: easyTithe covers Online giving pages, Pushpay 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.

Pushpay

  • The pricing page names Core, Advanced and Complete packages but publishes no price, no minimum and no per-transaction rate for any of them
  • Integrations and API access are withheld from the Core package and require Advanced
  • Giving history on Advanced is capped at 7 years
  • Multi-site support, per-campus branding, multiple bank accounts and metric dashboards require the Complete package
  • Check-in, facility management, forms and volunteer scheduling are excluded from Core
  • Check scanning and remote deposit start at $0.29 per check on top of the plan
