FaithStreet Giving vs Flocknote

FaithStreet Giving provides churches with online and mobile tools for collecting and tracking donations. Givers can make one-time gifts or set recurring gifts for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedules, using a credit card, debit card, or bank account. Giving is available through the web, mobile app, or text message. Churches can create shareable campaigns, set and track pledges or goals, and provide tax receipts. Reports cover giving totals, trends, giver activity, and other details, with weekly summaries by email. The service lists integrations with Church Community Builder, Fellowship One, RockRMS, and Planning Center Online, and can connect with a church website or Facebook page. Churches can have unlimited administrators and fund designations. FaithStreet says its banking partner is Level-1 PCI compliant, that it uses three levels of web security, and that it does not store sensitive payment information. Givers can cover transaction fees by default or by choice. Pricing is available on request; subscriptions include monthly, annual, and lifetime arrangements, as well as a one-time payment option.
