Which Church Giving Platform Is Best? Tithe.ly vs Pushpay vs Charitabl.Pro
What is the right giving platform for your church?
In today’s digital age, church giving expectations have evolved. Donors want fast, mobile-first experiences with clear visibility over their contributions—and minimal barriers to participate.
Let’s compare Tithely, Pushpay, and Charitabl.Pro, and discover which platform offers you the best giving solution for your congregation.
Platform Comparison
Tithe.ly
- Simple setup, free to start — charges ~1.9% + AU$0.30 in Australia
- Supports mobile, web, text, kiosk, crypto giving & recurring gifts
- High user ratings for ease-of-use and value
- Ideal for smaller churches, but fees apply, and donor data may be siloed
Tithe.ly is a great solution for churches and one of the market leaders. Its fee structure is relatively high and the breadth of giving narrower than other solutions but it is definitely worth checking out.
Pushpay
- Comprehensive suite: in-house payment processing, ChMS, mobile apps, analytics, Apple Pay, crypto
- Fees ~2.5%–3%, with monthly subscription (~US $149+) and multi-year contracts
- Strong usability but lower value-for-money scores; reviews cite support and contract issues
- Best suited to large, multi-site churches
PushPay is an established solution for churches but one of the highest fee structures on the market with a far more siloed approach to giving. It is a more of an enterprise solution than off the shelf and possibly suited to larger churches wanting a more customisable solution.

At its heart, Charitabl. was born from a story of faith, generosity, and redemption. In this powerful video, our founder Mike Gore shares his personal journey — from being abandoned at birth in India to being adopted by a Christian family in Australia, and eventually building one of the most transformative giving platforms in the world.
This isn’t just a tech story. It’s a testimony.
Charitabl. Pro was created to serve churches and ministries with a platform that removes fees, reduces friction, and makes giving seamless — whether it’s during a Sunday service, a mission appeal, or ongoing monthly support. Our goal is to help your church steward generosity in a way that’s safe, modern, and spiritually aligned.
