Tithely Sites is a website builder made only for churches, and its $19 a month price covers the features most congregations need. Tithely lists a sermon media player that publishes a podcast feed, an events calendar, integrated online giving, a photo gallery, contact forms, multilingual support and site-wide search, plus unlimited user accounts and unlimited storage. The Plan Your Visit tool is built into every site and alerts staff when a guest schedules a first visit. Live streams from Facebook, YouTube or Vimeo embed directly. Giving runs through Tithely's free plan, which has no monthly fee but charges 2.9% + $0.30 per card gift and 1% + $0.30 per bank transfer. There is no contract and a 30-day free trial. Churches that also want church management, a custom app and messaging can move to All-Access at $119 a month, which includes Sites at no extra cost. The trade-off is design control: sites start from Tithely templates, and the Sites page lists no custom design service.
