  • 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

  • Limited advanced worship planning capabilities compared to competitors
  • Specialised giving integrations limited compared to alternatives
