Tithe.ly for Churches
4.3/ 5
Our Take
Tithe.ly is the best value play in church tech. The free online giving platform is a massive draw — any church can start accepting digital tithes and offerings at no monthly cost (just transaction fees). The broader ecosystem adds ChMS, church apps, websites, and streaming, reducing the need for multiple vendors.
Pros for Churches
- +Free online giving platform — just pay transaction fees (2.9% + $0.30)
- +All-in-one ecosystem: giving, ChMS, website builder, church app, streaming
- +Mobile giving experience encourages digital tithing adoption
- +Church app builder included in higher tiers
- +Generous free tier gets churches started without budget approval
Cons for Churches
- −ChMS features are less mature than Planning Center or Breeze
- −Transaction fees on giving (2.9% + $0.30) add up for larger churches
- −The all-in-one approach means no single feature is best-in-class
- −Interface can feel cluttered with so many features
- −Customer support has mixed reviews during busy periods
