Pushpay
“A genuine enterprise category leader, if your church has the volume and budget to justify the annual contract.”
Pushpay is the enterprise choice in church giving, and it plays that role well. Beyond a polished donor experience, it bundles a church app, a church management system, and engagement tooling into one ecosystem designed for congregations processing serious volume. Large multi-site churches with dedicated tech staff consistently praise how tightly giving, communications, and member data connect, which is the payoff that justifies the platform's ambitions.
The catch is cost and transparency. Pushpay does not publish pricing; community estimates put giving alone around $199 per month and the full suite anywhere from several hundred to well over a thousand dollars monthly, all on mandatory annual contracts arranged through sales. Processing fees of roughly 2.9% + $0.30 on cards and 1% on ACH are in line with the market, but the subscription floor puts Pushpay out of reach for most small churches before donations even start.
For a church running under a few hundred attendees, the math rarely works and simpler no-monthly-fee platforms will serve better. For a large, growing ministry that wants one vendor for giving, an app, and management, and has the budget to match, Pushpay is a legitimate category leader. The score reflects that split personality: excellent product, demanding price of entry.
Is it right for you?
Large and multi-site churches (roughly 500+ attendees) with high giving volume and a real tech budget that want one integrated giving, app, and management platform.
You are a small or mid-size church watching costs, the annual contract and monthly floor make cheaper no-fee platforms a far better fit.
