The short version

  • Only Tithely Church App has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: FaithMetrics limited integration options compared to full church management platforms; Tithely Church App card donations carry 2.9 percent plus $0.30, rising to 3.5 percent on American Express, so the free giving tier is not free to the church
  • They diverge on capability: FaithMetrics covers Attendance Analytics, Tithely Church App covers Mobile Giving.
