FellowshipOne vs Tithe.ly Church Management

Hi there.

Are you comparing Tithe.ly Church Management (ChMS) to FellowshipOne? Smart move! Competition in Church Management Systems makes for better programs, better features and more ChMS to choose from!

Although there is bias in this article because we believe Tithe.ly ChMS is a great fit for most churches, we hope to give you a better understanding of the differences between Tithe.ly, and, at the end of the day, our heart is that you find the right product for your church and if we can help you make that decision, then we are happy.

Our goal here is to be as factual as possible. If anything has changed or we've listed something incorrectly, please reach out so we can fix it immediately.

1. Tithe.ly Church Management (ChMS) is an all-in-one, easy to use solution

We're not into add-ons or charging for additional features or modules. Our heart has always been to give customers everything they need at a single price point. And that's exactly what we do. You get all our existing features and all our future features at no additional cost.

FellowshipOne can be difficult to work with if you have no IT background and can be difficult to generate what should be simple reports.

2. Tithe.ly's pricing is simple and cost effective

We only charge for active adults.

That's it.

Children and community contacts can be stored in Tithe.ly ChMS free of charge. Active adults are individuals that either volunteer, give financially or attend regularly. There are no setup or termination fees and we have no lock-in contracts.

The pricing for FellowshipOnce is only accessible on request. We prefer the more transparent approach of putting all our costs you'd ever expect on our website.

3. Tithe.ly offers amazing and free customer service and support

Customer service and support is one of the most important aspects of what we offer. If you sign up to a great product, you expect to get great customer service. This is why we have a dedicated Customer Happiness Officer!

At Tithe.ly, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide you with customized service. We offer unlimited support to assist any person from your church using Tithe.ly, whether it be the senior pastor or a volunteer who serves once a month. You can reach out and talk to us on the phone, live chat and email. This is included in your plan!

FellowshipOne has long training sessions that can cost a lot of money.

4. Tithe.ly has better privacy protection

In this day and age, privacy and security of data is so vital especially when it comes to storing personal data. At Tithe.ly, we have servers based in Australia, Europe, and the United States meaning your data is closer to home depending on your location and at the same time offers better privacy of your data.

We understand FellowshipOne doesn't have this same level of protection so be sure to ask them about where your data is stored.

5. Tithe.ly has global servers for faster access

As mentioned in the previous point, we have servers strategically located in Australia, Europe, and the United States. This means each click or page load doesn't have data traveling around the world and back to you, saving you seconds per click and hours of productivity each year!

6. We support small, medium and large churches

Tithe.ly ChMS is scalable and has powerful customization to allow any church or any size to use effectively. We are constantly making improvements and adding features to help make you do church life better.

Final Thought

At the end of the day FellowshipOne is a great product, but it's not right for every church due to the higher overall cost. Be sure your church is evaluating all the right options and making the right choice for your congregation!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
