Tithe.ly review
Bottom line
Tithely is church giving software that expands into a full church management suite. Its clearest strength is that online giving has no monthly fee, with the admin tools sharing the same donor and member data. The main costs to watch are card processing fees of 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction and the $119 monthly price for the full All-Access bundle. It suits churches that want to start taking gifts online at no subscription cost and add administrative tools later.
What is Tithe.ly?
Tithely is church software built around online giving, with member management, messaging, church apps, and websites available alongside it. It lets churches accept gifts from members through web, mobile, and text, and keeps donations and member records in one system so staff spend less time on manual bookkeeping and reporting. The company says it serves more than 53,000 churches.
Members give through a donation form on a church website, the Tithely Giving App, or text giving. Donors do not need a platform login or password and can sign in with a phone number, email address, or Google account. They can set up recurring gifts, manage them over time, and choose to cover processing fees. On the administrative side, gifts sync automatically with the church management system, designated funds such as tithes, missions, and building are tracked automatically, and tax receipts and donor reports can be generated in a few clicks. Staff use the same system for the people database, groups, service planning, and kids and event check-in.
The platform is used by churches at different stages, from church plants to multi-campus ministries, and the vendor also offers custom packages for churches of 2,000 or more. Pricing is split by product. Giving has no monthly fees and no setup fees, and card transactions cost 2.9% plus $0.30, ACH costs 1% plus $0.30, and AMEX costs 3.5% plus $0.30. Monthly subscriptions are $19 for a website, $72 for church management, $89 for a mobile church app, and $119 for All-Access, which bundles the full suite. Every plan comes with a 30 day free trial.
What sets Tithely apart is that the giving tool costs nothing monthly while the administrative tools share the same donor and member data. Gifts post to the same records that staff use for members, groups, and check-in, rather than to a separate donation system. The integration list includes QuickBooks Online, Planning Center, Elvanto, Salesforce, and several other church systems, so churches already using one of those tools can keep accounting and member data connected. Support is available by email, phone, and chat, along with a knowledge base and live online training.
