Overview: MosesTab vs Tithe.ly
Tithe.ly has become synonymous with mobile church giving. Their giving platform is excellent, with strong mobile apps and low friction for donors. In recent years, they've expanded into a broader platform with ChMS features, church websites, and mobile apps.
MosesTab takes a different approach: rather than starting with giving and adding ChMS features, MosesTab was built from the ground up as a complete church management platform. This means deeper integration between features and modern capabilities like AI media generation.
The key trade-off: If mobile giving apps and donor-facing mobile experiences are your top priority, Tithe.ly excels. But for comprehensive church management with modern tools, MosesTab provides more value — including giving features that rival Tithe.ly's without the 1% transaction fee markup.
