Today’s churches juggle an incredible range of needs — from leading members and running events to managing donations, worship teams, and administration. But too often, churches rely on a patchwork of tools like Pushpay for giving, Intuit for accounting, Asana for projects, Mailchimp for communication, and WordPress for their website.
The result?
What churches need is a fully integrated church management platform — one place where giving, management, communication, and marketing work together seamlessly. That’s where Tithely shines.
Tithely is an all-in-one church management solution used by over 50,000 churches in 50+ countries. It combines giving, administration, communication, and marketing tools to help churches thrive.
Tithely’s big advantage? Everything is integrated — no more jumping between apps or syncing data manually.
“Our church has been using Tithely for more than 12 months and it’s been tremendously useful — simple to use, allows giving to multiple funds, and works great when someone can’t make a service.” — Joe
“We were so frustrated trying to ‘integrate’ other tools. Tithely was up and running in hours and works perfectly with our website.” — Jason
“Tithely is affordable, easy to use, and dramatically increased our online and text giving.” — Josh
Let’s break down how Tithely stacks up against three major alternatives: Pushpay, easyTithe, and PayPal for Churches.
Pushpay began as a donor management system in 2011 and quickly became a leader in church giving. It now offers church management tools through its partnership with Church Community Builder.
Pushpay strengths:
Where Pushpay falls short:
Tithely covers these gaps, giving churches not only giving tools but also:
easyTithe offers online, app, and kiosk giving plus financial reports. While they advertise themselves as a free platform, users pay a $10/month fee — and customer support is often criticized as slow.
easyTithe strengths:
Where easyTithe falls short:
Tithely includes:
PayPal is a global giant in online payments, with 305 million users. But for churches, it’s little more than a basic payment processor.
PayPal strengths:
Where PayPal falls short:
Tithely, on the other hand, offers:
Pushpay: Churches focused only ondonor management who have a large budget
easyTithe: Small churches needing basic giving tools
PayPal: Businesses needing a payment button
Tithely: Churches of all sizes wanting an integrated, scalable solution
