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.

Tithely Church App

  • All Access plan at $119/month may be expensive for small churches
  • Free giving tier includes transaction fees (2.9% + $0.30 for cards)
  • 30-day trial requires commitment to evaluate all features
  • No enterprise pricing tier listed for large organizations

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.

Tithely Church App: What is included in Tithely's All Access plan?

The All Access plan at $119/month includes all products: giving, church management, custom apps, websites, service planning, volunteer management, background checks, kids check-in, and email/text messaging. The price is a flat rate regardless of church growth.

Source
Overflow: Does Overflow replace our church management system?

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

Tithely Church App: Do Tithely's paid plans include a trial period?

Yes, all paid plans include a 30-day free trial. No credit card is required to start with the free giving tier.

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.

Tithely Church App: What are Tithely's individual product prices?

Individual products available separately: Website at $19/month, Mobile Church App at $89/month, and Service Planning/Worship Tools at $29/month. The All Access plan at $119/month bundles all products for significant savings.
