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; Kindrid pricing page publishes no plan rates and directs visitors to schedule a live demo or call for pricing
  • They diverge on capability: eGiving covers Online Giving, Kindrid covers Recurring Gifts.
