Pushpay review

Pushpay has the deepest giving feature set on this list and is aimed at churches where small percentage gains add up to large sums. Its Everygift technology queues gifts when a payment gateway goes down, prompts donors to update failed or expired cards and make up the missed gift, and suggests a recurring schedule based on a donor's giving pattern. Embedded Giving lets a donor finish a gift with Apple Pay or Google Pay on the first screen, with no account or phone verification. Churches also get text giving, in-app giving, kiosks, tap-to-give, stock and crypto through Engiven, QR codes, campaigns and pledges, future dated gifts and multi-site reporting. Pushpay says it serves more than 14,000 churches. The weakness for buyers is price transparency: plans are quoted after a demo, so we could not confirm a starting price, and check scanning starts at $0.29 per check. Smaller churches will pay for capability they may not use.

Who it is for

Large and multisite churches that want gift recovery, stock and crypto giving and multi-campus reporting.
