Where each one falls short

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

Breeze

  • Single flat-rate plan only (no tiered options); may be expensive for very small churches
  • Limited advanced worship planning capabilities compared to competitors
  • Specialised giving integrations limited compared to alternatives

Tithe.ly

  • Card giving carries a 2.9% plus $0.30 fee, so every donation is reduced before it reaches the church
  • American Express is charged at 3.5% plus $0.30
  • ACH at 1% plus $0.30 makes small bank transfers proportionally expensive
  • Church management is $72 a month and the mobile app $89, sold separately from the free giving product
  • Bundling everything is $119 a month, so a church wanting app, website and management pays regardless of donation volume
