TL;DR: Tithe.ly pricing in 2026: free giving (2.9% + $0.30 per card), $72/month for ChMS + giving, $119/month for All Access (ChMS + app + website + worship tools). The giving platform is excellent. The church management side (formerly Breeze, acquired 2021) is solid and easy to use. At $119/month for everything bundled, it undercuts Pushpay ($500+/mo) and a full Planning Center setup ($100-200+/mo). The main downsides: US-only payment processing, no WhatsApp, processing fees add up on high giving volume, and worship planning is basic compared to Planning Center Services.

What Is Tithe.ly?
Tithe.ly started in 2014 as a mobile-first church giving platform. The pitch was simple: let church members give from their phones in under 30 seconds.
Since then, the company has expanded aggressively. They acquired Breeze ChMS in 2021, added a website builder, launched custom church apps, and introduced worship tools. Breeze has now been fully integrated into what they call “Tithely Church Management.”
Today, Tithe.ly is trying to be the all-in-one platform for churches. Giving, people management, communication, apps, websites, and worship planning, all from a single login. That’s an ambitious goal. Let’s see how well they deliver.
Tithe.ly Pricing in 2026
Here’s the current pricing breakdown:
| Plan | Monthly Cost | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free Giving | $0/month | Online giving, mobile app, recurring giving, pledge campaigns |
| Church Management + Giving | $72/month | Everything in Free Giving + member database, volunteer coordination, email/text messaging, mobile admin app |
| All-Access | $119/month | Everything above + custom church app, church website, worship team tools |
| Custom Church App (standalone) | $89/month | Branded mobile app for your church |
| Church Website (standalone) | $19/month | Drag-and-drop website builder |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing | For 2,000+ attendees, includes negotiated rates and a dedicated success manager |
Transaction fees (US):
| Payment Method | Fee |
|---|---|
| Credit/Debit Card | 2.9% + $0.30 |
| American Express | 3.5% + $0.30 |
| ACH / Bank Transfer | 1.0% + $0.30 |
| Card Reader (in-person) | 2.6% + $0.10 |
The All-Access plan is where the value really kicks in. If you bought each product separately, you’d pay $228/month. Bundling saves you nearly 50%. The standalone giving plan is free, which makes it one of the lowest-barrier entries in the church giving space.
One important note: the “Cover the Fees” feature lets donors absorb the transaction cost themselves. Tithe.ly reports that about 60% of donors opt in, which can save your church significant money over time.
What Tithe.ly Gets Right
1. Online Giving Is Genuinely Easy
This is where Tithe.ly started, and it remains their strongest product.
Setting up online giving takes minutes. Members can give via the mobile app, your church website, text-to-give, or a physical card reader at your lobby kiosk. The redesigned giving experience features QuickGive for fast, one-tap donations and passwordless login so members don’t need to remember another password.
According to Tithe.ly’s published case studies, some churches have seen weekly contributions increase by up to 35% after adopting the platform, though results vary by congregation size, prior digital giving adoption, and how the transition was communicated. Moving from a pass-the-plate model to digital giving genuinely changes giving patterns, especially with younger members who don’t carry cash.
The recurring giving feature is particularly well-implemented. Members can set up automatic weekly or monthly gifts, and they can manage or adjust their own recurring donations without bothering the church office.
2. The All-Access Bundle Is Good Value
At $119/month for giving, church management, a custom app, a website, and worship tools, the All-Access plan undercuts most competitors who charge separately for each piece.
Compare that to a church using Planning Center ($100-200/month for multiple apps) plus a separate website builder ($20-50/month) plus a custom app ($100+/month). The total easily exceeds $300/month. Tithe.ly bundles it all for $119.
For budget-conscious churches that want a single vendor and a single bill, this is compelling.
3. Church Management (Formerly Breeze) Is Solid
When Tithe.ly acquired Breeze, they got one of the simplest ChMS platforms on the market. That simplicity has been preserved in the integration.
The church management module includes:
- People database with custom fields, family grouping, and tagging
- Volunteer coordination with scheduling and team management
- Event management with check-ins and name tag printing
- Groups for small groups, ministry teams, and volunteer crews
- Email and text messaging with a drag-and-drop editor
- Attendance tracking with security code matching for children’s check-in
- Giving integration that ties donations directly to member profiles
If you’ve read our Breeze review, you already know the strengths: clean interface, minimal learning curve, and an admin team that can get comfortable within a day. Those qualities carry over into the Tithe.ly ecosystem.
4. The Custom Church App Is Well-Executed
For $89/month standalone or included in the All-Access plan, you get a branded mobile app in the App Store and Google Play with your church’s name, logo, and colors.
Features include:
- In-app mobile giving
- Sermon audio and video playback
- Live stream access
- Interactive sermon notes
- Prayer wall
- Group chat and small group management
- Push notifications
- Event listings and registration
The Automatic App Builder is a nice touch. You input your church’s website and logo, pick a layout, and Tithe.ly generates your app. No developer needed. For churches that want a mobile presence but don’t have a tech team, this removes a real barrier.
5. Text-to-Give Works Well
Text-to-give is included in all plans, including the free tier. Members text a keyword to a number, get a giving link, and complete their donation from their phone.
This is especially useful during services. A pastor can say “text GIVE to 77977” from the stage, and members who forgot their wallet or don’t have the app can still give in the moment. It reduces friction in a way that envelope-based giving never could.
6. Educational Content Is Outstanding
This might seem like a minor point, but Tithe.ly’s blog and resource library is the best in the church tech space. They publish genuinely helpful content for pastors and church admins: leadership articles, financial management guides, ministry strategy pieces, and practical how-tos.
It’s not just product marketing disguised as education. A lot of it is useful regardless of what software you use. Credit where credit is due.
Where Tithe.ly Falls Short
1. US-Centric Giving, No Mobile Money
Tithe.ly supports credit/debit cards, ACH bank transfers, and American Express. These are US payment methods.
There’s no M-Pesa. No Paystack. No Flutterwave. No MTN Mobile Money. No USSD payments. No international bank transfers.
For a church in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, or South Africa, Tithe.ly’s giving platform simply doesn’t work. And since giving is the core of Tithe.ly’s identity, losing that feature means you’re paying for a platform with a massive gap in the middle.
Even for UK diaspora churches with members who regularly send offerings from abroad, the lack of international payment options creates unnecessary friction.
2. No WhatsApp Integration
Tithe.ly communicates through email, SMS, push notifications, and in-app messaging. There is no WhatsApp integration.
In Africa, Latin America, and much of Asia, WhatsApp isn’t just another messaging app. It’s the primary communication channel. Open rates on WhatsApp are 98% compared to roughly 20% for email. If your members are on WhatsApp (and outside North America, they almost certainly are), Tithe.ly can’t reach them where they actually communicate.
For US churches, email and text work fine. For the global church, this is a significant blind spot. Read our deep dive on why WhatsApp matters for churches for more context.
3. Processing Fees Add Up
The free giving plan sounds appealing until you look at the transaction fees. At 2.9% + $0.30 per credit card transaction, fees on a $50 donation are $1.75. On $10,000/month in giving, your church pays $320 in fees.
The “Cover the Fees” feature helps, but it shifts the cost to your donors. Not every member will opt in, and some may feel uncomfortable being asked.
ACH fees are lower (1% + $0.30), but getting all your members to switch from cards to bank transfers requires effort and education.
By comparison, some competitors offer lower base rates or negotiated pricing for higher-volume churches. Tithe.ly’s Enterprise plan includes negotiated rates, but you need 2,000+ attendees to qualify.
4. Worship Tools Are Basic
The worship team tools included in the All-Access plan cover the basics: service planning, team scheduling, and song management. But they’re not in the same league as Planning Center Services, which remains the industry standard for worship planning.
If your church has a complex production workflow with multiple services, a full band, projection integration (ProPresenter, EasyWorship), and CCLI reporting, Tithe.ly’s worship tools will feel lightweight.
For churches with simple services, the included tools are adequate. For churches with serious production needs, you may still end up supplementing with Planning Center Services.
5. Limited Offline Capability
Tithe.ly is cloud-based. Every feature requires an internet connection.
This is fine for churches in cities with reliable broadband. For churches in rural areas or regions with inconsistent connectivity (common across Africa and parts of Latin America), dropped connections mean lost data, timeouts, and frustrated admins.
There’s no offline mode, no lightweight version for low-bandwidth environments, and no progressive web app that caches data locally. If your internet goes down on Sunday morning, your check-in system goes with it.
6. Migration Complexity After the Breeze Merger
Breeze was a standalone product with its own user base. Since the acquisition, Tithe.ly has been migrating Breeze users into the unified Tithely Church Management platform.
For new users, this isn’t a concern. But for existing Breeze churches, the transition has introduced confusion. Some features have changed locations. The interface has evolved. And some users on review sites report that the migration wasn’t seamless.
If you’re currently on Breeze and weighing your options, read our full Breeze review for context on what’s changed.
Tithe.ly vs. The Competition
Here’s how Tithe.ly stacks up against the major alternatives:
| Feature | Tithe.ly (All-Access) | Planning Center | Breeze (Legacy) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Price | $119/month | $100-200+/month | $72/month |
| Online Giving | Yes (US cards, ACH) | Yes (US only) | Yes (US only) |
| Custom Church App | Included | Separate (Publishing) | No |
| Church Website | Included | No | No |
| Member Management | Good | Excellent | Good |
| Worship Planning | Basic | Best in class | None |
| Check-Ins | Good | Best in class | Good |
| No | No | No | |
| Mobile Money | No | No | No |
| Text-to-Give | Yes | No | Yes |
| SMS (Global) | US only | US/Canada only | US only |
| Offline Support | No | No | No |
| Ease of Setup | Easy | Moderate | Easiest |
The short version:
- Tithe.ly wins on bundled value. One price, one login, everything included. Best for US churches that want simplicity in their vendor relationship.
- Planning Center wins on feature depth, especially worship planning and check-ins. Best for US churches with production teams.

Who Should Use Tithe.ly
Tithe.ly is ideal for:
- US churches of any size looking for an all-in-one platform
- Churches that want online giving set up quickly with minimal friction
- Small-to-medium churches (50-500 members) that need giving, a website, and an app without managing multiple vendors
- Churches currently using Breeze who want to expand into giving and apps
- Budget-conscious churches that appreciate the All-Access bundle pricing
- Church plants launching their digital presence from scratch
Tithe.ly is not ideal for:
- Churches outside North America that need mobile money or international payment methods
- Churches that rely on WhatsApp for member communication
- Churches with complex worship production workflows (Planning Center Services is better)
- Churches in low-bandwidth environments without reliable internet
- Multilingual congregations needing a localized admin interface
- Churches that need advanced automation or custom reporting
What Real Users Say
From reviews across Capterra (4.7/5 rating), GetApp, and church technology communities:
What they love:
- “Setting up online giving took about 15 minutes. Our donations increased within the first month.”
- “The All-Access plan saved us from juggling four different subscriptions.”
- “Cover the Fees is brilliant. Over half our donors opt in, which saves us thousands per year.”
- “The church app looks professional and our members actually use it.”
- “Customer support has been responsive and helpful every time we’ve reached out.”
What they wish was better:
- “The processing fees on every transaction add up. We wish there was a flat-rate option.”
- “Worship tools are too basic for our multi-service, multi-campus setup.”
- “Navigating between different products within the platform can be confusing at first.”
- “We’d love WhatsApp integration for our international members.”
- “The refund process was harder than it should have been.”
The pattern is clear: churches love the ease of giving setup and the bundled pricing. Growing churches and international congregations feel the feature gaps.
The Verdict
Tithe.ly has done something few church tech companies have managed: they’ve built a credible all-in-one platform without charging enterprise prices for it. The giving product is excellent. The church management (via Breeze) is solid. The custom app and website builder add genuine value. And the $119/month All-Access price undercuts the combined cost of separate tools.
But “all-in-one” only works if all the pieces fit your church.
If you’re a US church and online giving is your top priority, Tithe.ly is one of the best options available. The free giving plan lets you start with zero risk, and the All-Access bundle gives you room to grow without stacking subscriptions.
If your church has a significant production team, you’ll likely still need Planning Center Services for worship planning. Tithe.ly’s worship tools aren’t there yet.
And if your church operates outside North America, the gaps are real. No M-Pesa, no Paystack, no WhatsApp, no offline mode. These aren’t nice-to-haves for churches in Africa, Latin America, or the UK diaspora. They’re essentials. Tithe.ly wasn’t built for that context, and adding US-focused tools to a global church doesn’t solve the underlying problem.
Our recommendation:
- If you’re a US church that wants everything bundled, the All-Access plan at $119/month is hard to beat. Start with the free giving plan, see if your congregation adopts it, then upgrade when you’re ready.
- If you’re a US church with serious worship production needs, pair Tithe.ly Giving with Planning Center Services. You’ll get the best giving experience alongside the best worship planning tools.
- If you’re a church outside North America, Tithe.ly’s core assumptions don’t match your reality. If you’re outside North America, see our guide to choosing church management software for region-specific recommendations.
