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 Church App

  • Pricing page lists Core, Advanced and Complete tiers with no dollar figures shown, directing buyers to request a demo or call 1-844-PUSHPAY for a quote
  • Remote check deposit is billed separately starting at $0.29 per check on top of the platform subscription

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.

Pushpay Church App: What payment methods does Pushpay support for donations?

Pushpay enables churches to accept donations through multiple payment methods integrated into the Church App. The platform processes payments securely and provides transaction management for donation campaigns.

Source
Overflow: Does Overflow replace our church management system?

No. It handles giving only and integrates with your existing ChMS.

Pushpay Church App: Does Pushpay provide a demo?

Yes, Pushpay offers product demonstrations for churches interested in implementing the Church App. Prospects can request a demo to see how the platform works and how it integrates with existing church systems.

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.
