The short version

  • Only eGiving has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: EasyWorship subscription only rather than a perpetual licence, so presentation software stops when payment stops; eGiving being rebranded to Amplify by Ministry Brands, so the eGiving name is on its way out and egiving.com redirects to ministrybrands.com
  • They diverge on capability: EasyWorship covers Presentation, eGiving covers Online Giving.

Where each one falls short

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

EasyWorship

  • Subscription only rather than a perpetual licence, so presentation software stops when payment stops
  • Priced on average weekly attendance, so the cost rises with congregation size rather than with usage
  • Basic starts at $17.50 a month and Premium at $27.50, both quoted as starting prices
  • The included media library of backgrounds and countdowns is Premium only, so Basic users supply their own

eGiving

  • Being rebranded to Amplify by Ministry Brands, so the eGiving name is on its way out and egiving.com redirects to ministrybrands.com
  • Sold as part of a wider church management suite rather than as standalone giving software
  • Pricing is not published and requires a demo
