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.

Rock RMS

  • Non-traditional pricing model based on donations rather than standard software licenses
  • Pricing based on self-reported average weekend attendance with honor system
  • Grant applications required for churches unable to afford donations
  • Cloud hosting fees may apply separately to donation amount

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

easyTithe: Which plan is cheapest for us?

Do the arithmetic. The $19 plan at 3.00% and the $49 plan at 2.6% cross over around $7,500 of monthly card giving. Below that, take the cheap plan.

Rock RMS: How much does Rock RMS cost?

Rock operates on a donation model of $4.45 per average weekend attendee per year. Example: 100-person congregation = $445 annual commitment. No contracts, license fees, or hidden costs.

Source
easyTithe: Can we get a better rate?

Yes, if you process more than about $25,000 a month. easyTithe states that higher volume churches can qualify for reduced transaction rates on request.

Rock RMS: What if a church cannot afford the donation?

Grant applications are available for churches unable to donate. Rock also offers alternative donation models for non-church nonprofits.

Source
easyTithe: Does the Pro plan replace our church management software?

Only for churches under 500 records, and even then it is a light database rather than a full ChMS.

Rock RMS: Does Rock charge for cloud hosting?

Cloud-hosted churches combine the donation with hosting fees into a single monthly payment. Rock Cloud and Cloud 9 partner-hosted options are available with integrated billing.

Source
easyTithe: What is the cheapest way to receive a gift?

ACH at 1.00% plus $0.42 on every plan. Moving recurring givers off cards is the single largest saving available.
