Online donation platforms ranked by fees, donor experience, recurring giving, and ChMS integration.
Disclosure: we make MosesTab. It's included in this list, and we have an obvious interest in it. Details about other platforms come from each vendor's own public website; check them with the vendor before you decide.
Church online giving platforms differ in how they charge (per-transaction processing, a monthly plan, or both), which giving channels they support (web, app, text, kiosk), and whether giving sits inside a church management system. The right choice depends on whether giving is the primary church-software priority or one feature among many.
For churches where mobile giving drives engagement, giving-first platforms with donor apps are worth a close look. For churches where giving is one of many features, an all-in-one ChMS with built-in giving keeps every donation on the donor's member profile.
This ranking compares the most-used giving platforms on published processing fees, recurring giving features, donor experience, and integration with broader church management.

Each platform was evaluated on processing fees (cards and ACH), recurring giving setup, mobile/donor experience, ChMS integration, and pricing transparency. Fee figures come from each vendor's own pricing page, checked in September 2026. Where a vendor does not publish pricing (such as Pushpay), we list it as not published.
All-in-one church management software
MosesTab uses Stripe Connect at standard rates (2.9% + 30¢ cards, 0.8% capped ACH) plus a 1% MosesTab platform fee — about 3.9% + 30¢ all-in on cards. Donations integrate automatically with member profiles, so giving and member records stay in one place.
Church giving, church management, apps and websites
Tithe.ly offers giving online, in its app, by text, at kiosks and with Tithely Tap, plus recurring giving, pledge campaigns and stock and crypto gifts. Free Giving is $0/mo plus standard processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per card transaction).
Church giving, church management and church app platform
Pushpay offers giving across web, mobile app, text and kiosk, with recurring giving, campaign pledging and multi-site giving management. Giving sits alongside Pushpay ChMS (formerly Church Community Builder). Pushpay does not publish pricing.
Giving app and online giving for places of worship and nonprofits
Givelify charges 2.9% + $0.30 per donation (3.5% + $0.30 for American Express) with no signup or monthly fees. It offers three-tap giving in its app and on your website, next-business-day deposits, and integrations with several ChMS platforms.
Church app, website, giving, media and church management platform
Subsplash Giving supports app, web, text, tap and live-stream giving, with campaigns, pledging and stock and crypto gifts. Subsplash Giving is available at $0/mo plus processing, and Subsplash says Subsplash One pricing is based on church size and usage.
Church giving, payments and church app platform
Vanco publishes two giving plans: GROW at $0/month with card pricing of 2.90% + $0.45, and THRIVE at $54/month with card pricing of 2.65% + $0.39. It supports online, mobile app, text and in-person giving and lists 60+ ChMS integrations.
Church online giving and church management from Ministry Brands
easyTithe publishes three plans: Small Church at $19/month, Small to Mid-Size Church at $49/month, and easyTithe Pro at $75/month with church management and a mobile app. Its published ACH pricing is 1.00% + 42¢ on every plan.
Donation management platform for churches
SecureGive describes itself as a donation management platform built for the church, with online, mobile, text and kiosk giving and check scanning. Basic is $149/mo and Premium is $299/mo, and it also sells kiosk hardware and church apps.
MosesTab uses Stripe Connect at 2.9% + 30¢ per card transaction plus a 1% MosesTab platform fee. Givelify publishes 2.9% + $0.30 per donation, Tithe.ly publishes 2.9% + $0.30 per card transaction, and Vanco's GROW plan lists 2.90% + $0.45. Always verify the all-in number, including any monthly plan price, not just the processor rate.
If you already have a ChMS you're happy with, a giving platform that integrates with it can work well — Givelify, for example, lists integrations with several ChMS platforms. If you want member data and giving in the same place — donations on each member's profile and year-end statements from the same records — a ChMS with built-in giving is simpler.
Donors enter card or bank info once and authorize a recurring schedule (weekly, monthly, etc.). The platform charges automatically until the donor cancels. Most platforms let donors manage their own recurring gifts via a member portal. Note: PCI compliance prevents transferring stored card numbers between platforms — switching giving providers requires recurring donors to re-authorize.
Donations to qualified 501(c)(3) churches are tax-deductible for the donor. Processing fees paid by the church are operating expenses, not donations — they don't affect the donor's deduction. Some platforms let donors optionally cover the processing fee on their gift, which preserves the church's full intended donation.
For campaign-style fundraising, prioritize platforms with pledge tracking, campaign-specific funds, and text-to-give: full giving platforms like MosesTab, Tithe.ly, and Pushpay handle these natively and tie every gift to the donor's record. Generic payment tools (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App) work for one-off collections but don't produce giving statements, donor records, or fund accounting — which becomes a real problem at tax-receipt time.
Card-network rules mean recurring authorizations can't be transferred — each donor must re-authorize on the new platform. The playbook: announce the change 2–4 weeks ahead, send each recurring donor a personal link, run both systems in parallel for a month, and follow up individually with anyone who hasn't switched. Churches that run it as a campaign typically retain the large majority of recurring donors.
Not if your giving platform includes it. MosesTab, Tithe.ly, and Pushpay all support text-to-give as part of the platform, tied to donor records. A separate text-to-give service makes sense mainly if your current giving provider doesn't offer it.
