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
Tithe.ly
- Card giving carries a 2.9% plus $0.30 fee, so every donation is reduced before it reaches the church
- American Express is charged at 3.5% plus $0.30
- ACH at 1% plus $0.30 makes small bank transfers proportionally expensive
- Church management is $72 a month and the mobile app $89, sold separately from the free giving product
- Bundling everything is $119 a month, so a church wanting app, website and management pays regardless of donation volume
