The short version
- Only eGiving has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: TouchPoint starts at 6000 USD annually, priced per active record (a household that donated once in 12 months or an individual who registered/attended twice) rather than a flat per-seat tier; eGiving being rebranded to Amplify by Ministry Brands, so the eGiving name is on its way out and egiving.com redirects to ministrybrands.com
- They diverge on capability: TouchPoint covers Membership Management, eGiving covers Mobile Giving.
