Tithe.ly: Comparable giving platform with a wider product range and its own church management system
easyTithe
Church online giving with published plans where a higher monthly fee buys a lower card rate
As of 1 September 2026, easyTithe starts at $19/month. A Ministry Brands giving platform that publishes something most church payment vendors hide: the exact trade between monthly fee and processing rate. Softwr lists it under Religion. easyTithe is made by Ministry Brands, available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What easyTithe does
easyTithe provides online, text and kiosk giving for churches, with recurring gifts, fund designation, giver statements and pledge tracking. The Pro tier adds a church management database and a mobile app. It is part of Ministry Brands, the group that also owns a large stable of church software brands. The commercially useful thing about easyTithe is transparency on the real cost. Church giving platforms typically bury processing rates in a sales conversation; easyTithe publishes them per tier. The Small Church plan is $19 a month with 3.00% plus $0.42 per card gift, the mid tier is $49 a month at 2.6%, and Pro is $75 a month at 2.75% with church management and an app included. ACH is 1.00% plus $0.42 on every tier. The crossover between the $19 and $49 plans arrives around $7,500 of monthly card giving, which is a calculation any treasurer can do before signing. Buyers are small to mid-sized US congregations. The trade-off is that easyTithe is one brand in a large portfolio: churches report that as Ministry Brands has consolidated, sales attention has moved towards its larger integrated products, and easyTithe functions as a dependable giving utility rather than a platform under active expansion.
What people use it for
- A church treasurer who wants to compare giving platforms on total cost rather than a headline monthly fee
- A congregation moving from cash and cheque to recurring online gifts with year end statements
- A small church needing text giving without buying a full management platform
- A church that can push regular givers to ACH at 1.00% and materially cut its cost of receiving money

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about easyTithe.
- The 500 record limit on the Pro plan makes its bundled church management unusable for any congregation above that size, so mid-sized churches end up paying for a separate ChMS anyway.
- Processing rates are higher than a church could negotiate directly with a merchant acquirer at volume, so large congregations giving over $25,000 a month should push for the discounted rate rather than accept published pricing.
- It is one brand among many at Ministry Brands, and product investment has concentrated on the group's larger integrated platforms, so feature development here is slow.
- The church management capability on Pro is thin next to Breeze or Planning Center, lacking real volunteer scheduling, service planning and child check-in depth.
- A $10 monthly minimum applies regardless of activity, which is a small but real cost for a seasonal or plant church with quiet months.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Which plan is cheapest for us?
Do the arithmetic. The $19 plan at 3.00% and the $49 plan at 2.6% cross over around $7,500 of monthly card giving. Below that, take the cheap plan.
Can we get a better rate?
Yes, if you process more than about $25,000 a month. easyTithe states that higher volume churches can qualify for reduced transaction rates on request.
Does the Pro plan replace our church management software?
Only for churches under 500 records, and even then it is a light database rather than a full ChMS.
What is the cheapest way to receive a gift?
ACH at 1.00% plus $0.42 on every plan. Moving recurring givers off cards is the single largest saving available.
