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; ProPresenter standard plan is licensed per seat at $29 per month or $289 per year; the 20 seat Campus plan at $59 per month is restricted to worship customers only
  • They diverge on capability: eGiving covers Online Giving, ProPresenter covers Advanced Presentation.
