7 Powerful Online Giving Companies For Churches

Church online giving has come a long way in recent years. When the pandemic hit and churches were forced to pivot to a virtual church experience, having an online giving provider became absolutely essential for receiving online donations.

Even when you’re attending church in person, most church members don’t have cash to put in the offering on Sunday morning or care to write out checks for their donations.

People are used to the convenience and security of online transactions.

An online giving tool makes it easy for church members to give. So, which one is the best for your church? We have a list of seven church online giving platforms that we think are the best of the best.

Why Online Giving is Important for Churches

Online giving is no longer just an option – it’s an expectation. In addition, a streamlined and easy user experience for online donations and mobile giving is essential.

But before you invest in a new church giving software program, let’s talk about what’s important.

Main benefits of online giving software

• Convenience - firstly, online giving platforms make it easy for donors to give anywhere and at any time without having to carry around cash or write checks. That includes mobile giving.
• Speed - online donation software has quick payment processing so there’s no delay in transferring funds.
• Efficiency - church online giving platforms help your finance team plan, process, and report online donations with greater efficiency.
• Security - online giving platforms use industry-leading security protocols to keep donor information safe and secure.
• Transparency - with online giving, donors can see where their money is going and how it’s being used. Most online giving software allows donors to log in and see their giving history.

Now that we’ve talked about the major benefits, let’s dive into our list of the seven best church online giving platforms.

Tithe.ly Pricing Plans

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Free tier, fast to set up, mobile-first donor UX, strong reporting, great for churches of any size.

Capterra Rating

4.7 stars (186+ reviews)

Best For

Most churches — especially small to mid-size congregations that want a zero-monthly-cost entry point with full features. This is what we recommend by default.

2. Pushpay

★★★★

Pushpay makes online giving flexible and easy for church members. They offer a mobile app, text-to-give, giving online, and in-person giving options.

Pushpay’s giving software is designed to work seamlessly with their other products and ChurchStaq (their all-in-one solution). The platform is built around guiding one-time donors into becoming recurring donors — Pushpay claims most churches see a 76% increase in recurring giving within six months.

Key Features

• Flexible online donation options (web, text message, church app, in-person kiosk)

• Seamless integration with other Pushpay software products and major ChMS platforms
• Automated recurring giving and future-dated gifts (donors can schedule a gift to process later)

Pricing Details

Pushpay does not publish straightforward pricing. They offer three tiers — Core, Advanced, and Complete — and require a custom quote. Our research found plans starting around $199/month, which may not be a good fit for smaller churches. The Advanced tier adds branded customization, campaigns, and software integrations. Complete is built for multi-site customization per location.

Pushpay Pricing Plans

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Best-in-class donor engagement tools, mature multi-site features, deep ChMS integrations, and a strong recurring giving conversion track record.

Capterra Rating

4.4 stars (157+ ratings)

Best For

Mid-to-large churches and multi-site campuses with the budget to invest in a higher-end platform and the volume to make per-month pricing worth it.

3. SecureGive

★★★★

SecureGive was actually created by pastors who wanted to offer members an easier way to tithe. The platform is well-known for putting security first, which will put donors at ease — especially those hesitant to donate online. SecureGive was also the first company to create giving kiosks for churches, a concept many others have since emulated.

Their goal is to provide options for everyone, and they currently power online giving for 33 of the 100 largest churches in America, having served over 2,300 churches since 2004.

Key Features

• Four giving channels — online, mobile, text, and kiosk — that you can mix and match
• Three kiosk hardware options: iPad with stand, freestanding, or countertop

Enterprise custom plans offer unlimited transactions, unlimited campuses, and custom text-to-give short codes.

SecureGive Pricing Plans

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Lowest per-transaction rates on this list, built by pastors, mature kiosk hardware, predictable monthly pricing.
• Cons: $99/month entry point is steep for small churches; the dashboard feels older than newer competitors.

Capterra Rating

4.4 stars (9+ ratings)

Best For

Churches that want an in-lobby giving kiosk, large multi-site churches with predictable transaction volume, and finance teams that prioritize the lowest per-transaction rates over a low monthly fee.

4. RebelGive

★★★★

RebelGive has a unique selling point compared to many of the other platforms in this list: they offer fee-free online giving for churches. Instead of a transaction fee, they offer a low fixed-price rate that is based on the size of your church. Donors can choose to cover any transaction fees, or RebelGive covers them — churches are never charged per-transaction.

• Automated recurring giving and automatic email receipts
• Donors can sign up to view a full history of all their donations

• Larger churches with custom needs can contact RebelGive for enterprise pricing

RebelGive Pricing Plans

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Predictable monthly cost, fee-free giving (churches keep more), beautiful donor UX, scholarships for small churches.
• Cons: Online-only focus (no text-to-give or kiosk products of their own); $99/month is steep for very small churches without a scholarship.

Best For

Churches with strong, consistent online giving volume who want to maximize donation pass-through (no per-transaction fees), and churches that prize donor experience over feature breadth.

5. Kindrid

★★★★

The Kindrid team exists to serve the local church and help empower communities in generosity. Their online giving platform helps donors give instantly and easily, with a focus on consistent giving over one-time gifts.

Kindrid offers Church Success Coaches to help churches get the most out of their online giving platform and maximize their donations with digital tools and support.

Kindrid Pricing Plans

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Success Coach support is genuinely useful for churches new to online giving, 5% giving guarantee, generous integrations list, low entry price.

Capterra Rating

4.7 stars (128+ ratings)

Best For

Small to mid-size churches that want hands-on coaching, accountability via the giving guarantee, and a path to grow into a larger plan.

★★★★

This platform provides flexible options for fundraising, reporting, and helping your church grow a culture of generosity.

Capterra Rating

4.1 stars (180+ reviews)

Best For

Churches that want to try before they buy (30-day free trial), value coaching support, and want a single vendor that can also bundle a church app and ChMS.

Non-Ministry Specific Options - PayPal / Stripe

PayPal and Stripe are similar online giving options for churches and nonprofit organizations. While they’re mostly used for e-commerce, both tools allow you to incorporate a payment area on your church’s website to accept donations.

So, you could consider setting up a church PayPal account, but it can’t be customized. The only fees are 2.2% plus $0.30 per transaction.

Stripe can be customized, but it’s more difficult to use than the church specific giving options. Fees start at 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction.

What to Look for When Choosing an Online Giving Platform

There are a few key factors you’ll want to consider when choosing a software solution for online church donations. You need to look at platforms that work well for both church staff and donors.

So here are the questions you need to ask:

Is the giving solution safe?

When it comes to online giving for churches, safety is always a top concern. You want to make sure that any online giving platform you choose is PCI compliant and uses SSL encryption. Believe it or not, there are scam providers that seek to steal money or even user identities — if a vendor doesn’t list any security features, move on immediately.

How easy is it to use?

Both donors and church staff should find the online giving solution easy to use. Platforms that are difficult to navigate can discourage people from using them. If you add an option to your church website that requires visitors to go through 5-10 different screens to make a simple donation, they’ll just skip it. Look for providers that get a donor from start to finish in just a few clicks.

Can givers set up recurring donations?

Recurring donations are an important way for churches to increase their revenue. Many online giving platforms allow donors to set up recurring donations, so this is something you’ll want to look for. In addition, many online giving tools equip donors with the ability to customize their schedule and giving amount.

What are the platform processing fees?

Although there are exceptions, and some listed here, church online giving platforms typically charge a small processing fee for each donation. When you’re comparing different online giving solutions, be sure to think about both monthly recurring fees as well as processing fees per transaction. Also, check for any additional fees in the fine print like a setup fee.

Being classified as a nonprofit doesn’t automatically exclude you from getting hit with fees. While members might find it more convenient to tithe online, you could be losing 5% or more, especially with credit cards. It might not seem like much, but if your entire church family uses your online option, that’s real money — over a year, those fees add up to a meaningful line item in your budget.

What are the mobile options for donations?

Most people, especially younger generations, assume they can set up online tithing or make donations on their phone. Some companies have church giving apps or integrate with your church’s app natively. You also want a mobile-friendly church website to make online giving simple and straightforward — that way, mobile giving can happen anytime, anywhere.

Mobile and App Considerations

Mobile is no longer an optional channel — for most churches, more than half of online donations now come from a phone or tablet. That changes what you should look for in a giving platform.

Native church app vs. mobile-friendly web giving. A native app (iOS/Android) gives you push notifications, faster repeat giving, and a tighter user experience. A mobile-friendly responsive website gives you the same reach without forcing donors to download anything. For smaller churches on a budget, a responsive site with a great giving page is almost always the right starting point. Most churches don’t actually need a custom church app on day one. Add the app once you have the volume and engagement to justify it.

Push notifications as a giving lever. If you do have a church app, push notifications are one of the most underused tools for online giving. A short Sunday-morning nudge, a year-end giving reminder, or a specific campaign notification can move giving in measurable ways. Look for a platform whose mobile app supports targeted push, not just generic announcements.

One-tap repeat giving. Tithe.ly’s QuickGive, Givelify’s three-tap flow, and similar features dramatically reduce the friction of giving from a phone. Donors who already gave once should be able to give again in three taps or fewer. If your platform requires a full re-entry of payment info every time, you’re losing money.

Text-to-give. Text giving used to be a novelty. Today, it’s table stakes — donors expect to be able to text a number, follow a one-time setup link, and complete a donation in under a minute. Most platforms on this list offer text-to-give, sometimes as a paid add-on. If your congregation skews older or less app-friendly, text-to-give is often the highest-leverage mobile channel.

Kiosks for in-lobby mobile giving. A kiosk is just a fixed tablet running your giving platform’s mobile interface. SecureGive, Mogiv, easyTithe, and others offer hardware kiosks. For churches with older congregants who still prefer to give in person but no longer carry cash, a kiosk meaningfully recovers giving that would otherwise disappear.

Does the online giving tool integrate with my church management system?

Some of the online giving platforms mentioned in this list have additional software products, which you may choose to use. This includes options like event registration and church giving apps. But if you have a church management system in place that you’re happy with, you’ll want to consider church online giving platforms that integrate well with your ChMS. This will make it easier for your staff to manage both online and offline donations as well as the donor information.

Are there any donation limits?

Online giving platforms typically have donation limits in place. Be sure to find an online giving solution that meets the needs of your church in terms of both online and offline donations.

Does this online giving option support campaigns?

Some online giving platforms limit the number of campaigns you can run at one time. Others do not have any campaign limits. If your church is planning on running multiple campaigns or fundraising pledge drives, be sure to find an online giving solution that supports this. Mogiv, for example, allows unlimited campaigns — others may charge extra per campaign.

What kind of customer support does the online giving platform offer?

Customer support is important for any software solution, but it’s especially important for online giving platforms. This is because online giving for churches can be complex, and you want to make sure you have a team of experts you can rely on to help with any issues that may come up.

Be sure to find an online giving platform that offers great customer support. In addition, some companies (Kindrid, easyTithe) offer success coaches who can help you with marketing, best practices, growing giving, and more.

Ask Your Congregation What They Prefer

If you’re on the fence about what provider to choose, ask your members. After all, they’re going to be the ones using it the most. Get their feedback on how they’d prefer to tithe and what payment method they’d be most likely to use. The more you know about what your current members prefer, the easier it is to find a provider that meets their specific needs — and what your church family wants is usually a good proxy for what website visitors would want too.

Overcoming Challenges

While the transition to church giving platforms presents numerous benefits, it’s not without its challenges. Congregations, particularly older members, may harbor concerns about security, privacy, and the unfamiliarity of digital giving. Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensure a smooth integration of these platforms into the church community.

Security and Privacy

Firstly, building trust in the security of online transactions is paramount. Your church leaders should communicate the robust security measures implemented by giving platforms, emphasizing encryption, secure servers, and fraud prevention protocols.

Providing clear and accessible information on the platform’s commitment to protecting sensitive data can help to alleviate concerns and can foster confidence among church members.

Generational Transition

Secondly, bridging the generation gap in technology adoption is essential. Many older members may be unfamiliar with digital payment methods.

Your church can organize workshops or training sessions to guide them through the process of setting up accounts, making online donations, and addressing any technical issues.

Patient and supportive guidance from church staff or volunteers can significantly ease the learning curve for those less comfortable with technology.

Financial Hurdles

Another challenge lies in the financial implications, especially for smaller congregations with limited resources. Your church should explore platforms with reasonable fees and transparent pricing structures. Additionally, understanding the financial capabilities of the congregation and selecting a platform that aligns with their budget is crucial.

Seeking out platforms that offer special packages or discounts for religious organizations can also help alleviate financial concerns.

Solutions

Communication plays a pivotal role in overcoming these challenges. Regularly updating the congregation on the benefits of digital giving and providing step-by-step guides can demystify the process.

Highlighting success stories from other churches using the same platform can serve as inspiration and motivation.

Addressing concerns about security, guiding older members through the digital landscape, and navigating financial considerations are key challenges in adopting church giving platforms.

A thoughtful and inclusive approach, coupled with effective communication, will not only overcome these challenges but also pave the way for a more connected and financially sustainable church community.

The Future of Church Giving Platforms

Looking ahead, the world of church giving platforms is buzzing with exciting possibilities. As technology continues to evolve, so too will the ways in which congregations engage in giving. Here’s a glimpse into the future of church fundraising:

Smart Giving

Imagine a giving experience tailored just for you. Future platforms may use artificial intelligence to analyze individual preferences and habits, providing personalized suggestions for donation amounts and causes.

This smart giving approach aims to make the giving experience more meaningful and relevant to each church member. This kind of thing may seem far off right now, but as we’ve seen in other areas of technology, the power of A.I. is growing rapidly.

Seamless Integration with Social Media

The future is social. Church giving platforms are likely to integrate seamlessly with popular social media channels.

This means you could contribute to your church directly through your favorite social platforms, making it easy to share your generosity with your online community. We’ve already seen this in platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.

Cryptocurrency Contributions

As digital currencies like Bitcoin and others gain mainstream acceptance, church giving platforms may start accepting cryptocurrency donations. This opens up new avenues for giving and appeals to tech-savvy donors who prefer to use alternative forms of currency.

I doubt we’ll see this for awhile, since cryptocurrency is still not in the mainstream, and most churches are unfamiliar with it. However, should it become common enough, its possible we may see church giving platforms adopt it.

Voice-Activated Donations

With the rise of smart speakers and voice-activated technology, making a donation could be as simple as saying, “Donate $20 to my church.” This hands-free approach to giving could make the process even more convenient for those on the go.

This is minor, and could probably already be achieved with the technology we have today. Things like Siri or speech-to-text messages have been around for years now. Its a minor addition, but it could make the giving process that much smoother.

Data-Driven Insights for Churches

Future platforms may provide churches with advanced analytics and insights into giving patterns. This data-driven approach can help churches understand their congregation’s preferences, tailor fundraising efforts, and optimize their financial strategies.

The future of church giving platforms is bright and brimming with innovation. From personalized giving experiences to cutting-edge technologies like virtual reality, the coming years promise to revolutionize the way we connect with our faith communities and support the causes we care about. Stay tuned for a future where giving is not just a transaction but a transformative experience.

A final word on giving platforms

Online giving is becoming increasingly popular for churches. There are many different giving platform options, so it can be difficult to decide which one is right for your church.

In this post, we’ve outlined major things you’ll want to consider when choosing an online giving platform. We’ve also included a list of seven of the best online giving platforms currently available.

If your church hasn’t tried online giving yet, now is definitely the time. After all, the majority of your members probably have a smartphone with them at all times. It’s easier for them to donate with a few taps than try to remember to carry cash around with them.

Choosing the right provider is important. While cost is important, additional features such as custom branding, easy of use, and integration are also vital. The right solution can and will grow giving to help you accomplish your mission.
