The short version

  • Only eGiving has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: eGiving being rebranded to Amplify by Ministry Brands, so the eGiving name is on its way out and egiving.com redirects to ministrybrands.com; Breeze single flat-rate plan only (no tiered options); may be expensive for very small churches
  • They diverge on capability: eGiving covers Online Giving, Breeze covers Contact Management.
