OnlineGiving review

OnlineGiving offers more giving methods on a free plan than most rivals. The Free plan handles up to 1,500 gifts a month and includes recurring giving, text-to-give, Apple Pay and Google Pay, QR codes, tap-to-give, a donor portal, giving statements, stock giving at a 0% fee, crypto in more than 50 coins, check scanning and a church store. PayPal, Venmo, kiosks and remote deposit are listed as part of Full-Service Giving. Pro at $140 a month raises the cap to 5,000 gifts and adds text marketing, a form builder with pledge tracking and SMS chatbots; Unlimited at $280 removes the cap. A promotional card rate from 2.14% plus 30 cents runs for new churches until November 30. Two limits matter. The service is only for USA-based churches and ministries that affirm its statement of faith, and SMS features require your own Twilio number, which adds setup work and a separate bill.
