Where each one falls short

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

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.

Pushpay

The pricing page names Core, Advanced and Complete packages but publishes no price, no minimum and no per-transaction rate for any of them
Integrations and API access are withheld from the Core package and require Advanced
Giving history on Advanced is capped at 7 years
Multi-site support, per-campus branding, multiple bank accounts and metric dashboards require the Complete package
Check-in, facility management, forms and volunteer scheduling are excluded from Core
Check scanning and remote deposit start at $0.29 per check on top of the plan

Overflow: Why give stock instead of cash?

Transferring appreciated shares avoids the capital gains tax the donor would pay on selling first, so the same after-tax cost produces a larger gift.

Source

Pushpay: Are there setup fees for Pushpay?

No, Pushpay explicitly states there are no setup fees required for any of their plans, making it easier to get started with their services.

Source

Overflow: Do we hold the cryptocurrency?

No. Crypto gifts are liquidated and remitted as cash, so the organisation does not carry price risk after settlement.
