The short version

  • Only Givelify has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Givelify transaction-based fees mean costs scale with donation volume rather than fixed monthly cost; Overflow crypto carries a 3 percent fee on top of the base rate, which makes it the most expensive channel on the platform at exactly the point where donors expect it to be cheap.
  • They diverge on capability: Givelify covers Mobile Giving, Overflow covers Stock donation flow.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

  • A church wanting to accept appreciated stock without the finance team processing each transfer by handnot Givelify
  • A capital campaign where major donors are more likely to give assets than cashnot Givelify

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Givelify

  • Transaction-based fees mean costs scale with donation volume rather than fixed monthly cost

Overflow

  • Crypto carries a 3 percent fee on top of the base rate, which makes it the most expensive channel on the platform at exactly the point where donors expect it to be cheap.
  • Card processing at 2.75 percent plus 30 cents on the entry plan is above what a church can get from a dedicated church giving processor, so using Overflow for routine weekly giving costs more than it should.
  • It is a giving channel, not a church management system, so contributions must be reconciled into your existing ChMS and finance software, adding a second monthly close step.
  • Stock and DAF fees are quoted as a 1 to 3 percent range with the actual rate depending on transfer route, so an organisation cannot forecast net proceeds precisely before the gift settles.
  • Non-cash gifts settle over days rather than instantly, and the amount received depends on the price at liquidation, so the receipted value and the cash landed will not match.
