Tithely Giving in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Tithely Giving is a church-focused donation service for accepting gifts through several channels and managing them with donor and administrator tools. It is best suited to churches and ministry teams that want recurring-gift controls and reporting alongside online, mobile, and text giving. The free plan avoids a monthly charge, but transaction fees remain part of the cost.

Donors can give through a website, mobile app, kiosk, text, or administrative giving. One-time gifts, embedded donation forms, campaign pages, and a donor portal broaden the ways churches can organize contributions; donors can also start, pause, or update recurring gifts themselves. The giving experience supports English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Chinese.

Key features

Payment choices: Tithely supports cards, ACH and other regional bank methods, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. That range can accommodate different donor preferences, though the applicable processing fee varies by payment type.

Administration: Real-time donation reporting and tax statements give church administrators tools for monitoring gifts and preparing donor records. Automated receipts and tax receipts are also supported.

Integrations: Tithely lists QuickBooks Online, Rock RMS, Salesforce, Planning Center Online, and Church Community Builder. These connections may make it a better fit for churches already using those services.

Security and support: Tithely states that it meets PCI DSS Level 1 compliance standards. Customer support is available Monday through Friday, with phone support from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time.

Pricing

Free Giving costs nothing, with no monthly fees and unlimited donations. Transaction fees still apply, so this removes the subscription cost rather than the cost of processing gifts. U.S. credit and debit transactions are charged 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction; ACH costs 1% plus $0.30, and American Express costs 3.5% plus $0.30.

Giving + Church Management is $72 a month, with no setup fees, cancellation at any time, and unlimited admin users. It suits churches wanting giving and church-management tools in one plan, but the monthly subscription is a meaningful step up from Free Giving. The separate Church Management plan is also $72 a month and includes giving plus church-management tools, with a 30-day free trial.

Other paid plans address different needs: Custom Church Website is $19 a month for a standalone website; Custom Church App is $89 a month for a standalone app; and All Access is $119 a month for all tools at one flat rate. Each has a 30-day free trial. Churches with 2,000+ attendees can consider Enterprise, which has custom pricing.

The cheaper Free Giving plan is the clearest fit for a church that needs donation processing without a monthly fee, while the website and app plans add standalone products rather than the church-management combination. Transaction charges apply to giving regardless of the no-monthly-fee offer.

Platforms

Tithely Giving runs on Android, iOS, and the web. That covers mobile-app and browser access, with kiosk and text also offered as giving channels.

Who it's for

Churches and ministry teams that need multiple ways to accept donations, recurring-gift management, and administrator reporting are the natural audience. It is particularly compelling for organizations that want donors to manage recurring contributions themselves or already use one of Tithely's listed integrations. A church that wants only low-cost processing should compare the transaction charges against its expected gift mix before choosing a paid plan.

Pros and cons

Pro: Multiple giving channels and payment options give churches flexibility to collect gifts online, in person, and by text.

Pro: Donors can manage recurring gifts, while administrators get real-time reporting and tax statements.

Pro: Free Giving has no monthly fee and allows unlimited donations, making it possible to avoid a fixed subscription charge.

Con: Processing is not free: U.S. card, ACH, and American Express rates differ, and the per-transaction fee applies on top of the percentage.

Con: The more integrated giving and management option costs $72 a month, so it may be excessive for a church that needs donation collection alone.

Alternatives

Church Giving Software and Donation Management are useful starting points for comparing products by category. Churches weighing a broader web presence can also browse Church Website Builders, while organizations comparing payment-focused tools can consult Nonprofit Payment Processing Software and Nonprofit Online Donation Software. For a wider operational system, see Church Management Software.

Planning Center is worth considering if its free Calendar plan for one room, free People plan with unlimited database and reporting, or free Services plan for five team members better matches a church's needs.

Subsplash Church App offers a $0/mo Subsplash Giving plan with no setup costs, though card and ACH processing fees apply; consider it when that combination is a better fit.

Mainfolk has a free plan with a custom subdomain, unlimited edits, about 10 AI assists per month, community help, and a footer note; consider it for those needs.

Congregate is another option to compare.

ChurchSpring Live Streaming is another option to compare.

GrowMyWebsite is another option to compare.

Tithely Custom Church App costs $89 a month, has a 30-day free trial, and can be canceled without penalty; consider it when a standalone custom app is the priority.

Grigora is another option to compare.

Verdict

Tithely Giving is a strong fit for churches that want flexible donation channels, donor-managed recurring gifts, and practical reporting in a church-oriented service. The free plan keeps monthly overhead at zero, but processing charges still matter, and the $72 a month management tier is best justified when its added tools are needed. Churches focused only on minimizing gift-processing costs should compare fees and alternatives before committing.

Verdict

Tithely Giving covers several donation channels and provides recurring-gift controls, reporting, and tax statements for churches. The free plan has no monthly fee, but transaction charges apply; review the listed rates and paid-plan terms.
