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

SecureGive

  • The Basic plan at $149 per month caps transactions at 2,000 per month
  • Basic supports online or kiosk giving only; mobile, text and check scanning require Premium at $299 per month
  • API access, the virtual terminal and the auto card updater require the Premium plan
  • Premium is limited to 5 campuses; unlimited campuses, transactions and kiosks require Enterprise
  • Non-cash giving for crypto and stock is a $99 per month add-on and Campaigns is a $49 per month add-on unless you are on Enterprise
  • Church Apps cost $200 per month bundled with giving, $300 per month standalone, plus a $500 one-time setup cost
  • Enterprise is call-for-quote with no published rate
  • Payment processing is charged on top of the subscription, described only as an effective rate that most churches see at 2% or less
