EasyTithe Fees for Churches: What You Actually Pay in 2026
EasyTithe charges a monthly plan fee and a per-gift fee. Plans are $19 a month (Small Church), $49 a month (Small to Mid-Size Church), and $75 a month (easyTithe Pro). Card gifts cost 2.6% to 3.0% + $0.42, and ACH gifts cost 1.00% + $0.42, with a $10 monthly minimum. There is no setup fee and plans are contract-free, but a church pays the subscription every month on top of processing.
Below is the plain-English breakdown of EasyTithe's fees, how they compare to other church giving tools, and how to add tap-to-give to your existing EasyTithe page for a one-time cost.
What does EasyTithe cost a church in 2026?
EasyTithe uses a plan-plus-processing model: you pick a monthly tier, and you also pay a percentage of every gift. EasyTithe is part of the Ministry Brands family of church software, alongside Tithely and SecureGive. Here is every published line item.
| Plan | Monthly fee | Card gift | ACH gift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Church | $19/mo | 3.00% + $0.42 | 1.00% + $0.42 |
| Small to Mid-Size Church | $49/mo | 2.6% + $0.42 | 1.00% + $0.42 |
| easyTithe Pro (new customers) | $75/mo | 2.75% + $0.42 | 1.00% + $0.42 |
Monthly minimum
A $10 monthly minimum applies. If your processing fees in a month come in under $10, you pay the difference.
Setup and contract
No setup fee, and plans are contract-free. New customers get a free trial until the next billing cycle.
easyTithe Pro record cap
The $75 Pro plan bundles church management, giving, and a mobile app, and caps its record count at 500.
High-volume churches
Churches processing more than $25,000 a month may qualify for a lower transaction rate by contacting EasyTithe directly.
Figures are from EasyTithe's published pricing page as of 2026. Rates can change, so confirm the current numbers on EasyTithe's own site before you budget.
Is EasyTithe worth the monthly fee?
EasyTithe is a full platform, not just a donate button, so the monthly fee buys more than card processing. The plans bundle online giving, text giving, kiosks, and church management records. If your church uses those tools, the subscription is doing real work. If you only want to accept gifts, you are paying a monthly fee for features you may not touch.
The arithmetic is easy to run for your own church. On the $49 Small to Mid-Size plan, the subscription alone is $588 a year, every year. Add processing: a congregation receiving $100,000 a year in card gifts at 2.6% pays about $2,600 in percentage fees, plus $0.42 on every gift. If those gifts average $50, that is another 2,000 times $0.42, or $840. Total: roughly $4,000 a year, and the subscription part repeats whether giving goes up or down.
The honest read. If EasyTithe's management and app features are part of how your church runs, the plan fee is reasonable and there is no reason to leave. The cost worth naming is the one that repeats: the monthly plan is an ongoing bill in a way that one-time hardware is not. That distinction matters most when you are deciding how to add a faster way to give in the room, which is the next section.
How EasyTithe fees compare to other church giving tools
EasyTithe sits at the subscription-plus-processing end. Here is the landscape.
| Platform | Monthly fee | Per-gift fee | Setup / hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| EasyTithe | $19-$75/mo | 2.6%-3.00% + $0.42 | $0 (kiosks separate) |
| Givelify | $0 | 2.9% + $0.30 (3.5% Amex) | $0 (app based) |
| Tithely | $0-$119/mo | 2.9% + $0.30 | $0 (software only) |
| SecureGive | $149-$299/mo | ~2% + $0.30 | $1,199-$5,799 kiosks |
| Tap.Giving (hardware add-on) | $0/mo | $0 from us | $3.50-$5.00/plate (one-time) |
EasyTithe figures are from its published pricing page as of 2026. Givelify, Tithely, and SecureGive figures are published or publicly reported ranges. Tap.Giving is not a giving platform: it is NFC hardware that opens whatever giving page you already use, so your gifts still process through your platform (EasyTithe included) at that platform's rate.

The cost EasyTithe does not put on the invoice: friction
Stand near the offering on a Sunday and watch what happens. A visitor means to give. She reaches for her phone, then has to remember where your EasyTithe giving page lives, type an address or hunt for a link, and wait for it to load, all while the plate moves past. Most of the time the moment closes before the page opens.
That is the real cost of any giving tool a visitor has to go find, and it is bigger than the 2.6%. The processing fee only applies to gifts that happen. The friction applies to the ones that do not, and those never show on an EasyTithe report, because you cannot count a gift nobody made.
EasyTithe offers kiosks to close that gap, and a kiosk helps. But a kiosk is one station in a lobby, it costs real money per unit, and people have to leave their seat to reach it. For most churches the gift happens in the pew, in the thirty seconds the plate is in front of someone.
The fix is not a different platform. If EasyTithe works for you, keep it. The fix is removing the steps between "I want to give" and your EasyTithe giving page.
Add tap-to-give to EasyTithe for a one-time cost
You do not have to leave EasyTithe to make giving faster in the room. EasyTithe gives every church an online giving page with its own web address. Tap.Giving plates are pre-programmed to that address. A giver holds a phone near the plate, and your EasyTithe giving page opens instantly. No app to download, no code to scan, no link to hunt for.
The plates sit on pew backs, chair backs, welcome desks, or beside the offering box. Every plate also carries a QR code for phones without NFC, so no one is left out. Nothing changes on the software side: your EasyTithe reporting, recurring gifts, and deposits keep working exactly as they do now. We sell the plates. You keep the platform you already chose.
Tap.Giving plates are $3.50 to $5.00 each, one-time, with free shipping and no monthly fees. A 100-plate order is $500, once. There is a 100-plate minimum, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and delivery usually runs 2-3 weeks from artwork approval. Start a quote to get 10% off for 7 days.

Frequently asked questions about EasyTithe fees
Is EasyTithe free for churches?
No. Unlike a free giving app, EasyTithe charges a monthly plan fee of $19 to $75 depending on the tier, plus a per-gift processing fee. There is a free trial for new customers and no setup fee, but running EasyTithe carries an ongoing monthly cost on top of the processing rate.
How much does EasyTithe charge per transaction?
On the Small to Mid-Size Church plan, EasyTithe charges 2.6% + $0.42 per card gift and 1.00% + $0.42 per ACH gift. The Small Church plan charges 3.00% + $0.42 on cards, and the easyTithe Pro plan charges 2.75% + $0.42. A $10 monthly minimum applies if your processing fees fall below it.
Does EasyTithe have a monthly fee?
Yes. EasyTithe plans run $19 a month for Small Church, $49 a month for Small to Mid-Size Church, and $75 a month for easyTithe Pro. The monthly plan is separate from the per-gift processing fee, so a church pays both. There is no setup fee and plans are contract-free.
Who owns EasyTithe?
EasyTithe is part of the Ministry Brands family of church software, alongside Tithely and SecureGive. That is worth knowing when you compare it to its siblings, because the three overlap heavily on giving and management features.
Can I use tap-to-give with EasyTithe?
Yes. EasyTithe gives every church an online giving page with its own web address. Tap.Giving plates are pre-programmed to that address, so a giver taps the plate and lands on your EasyTithe giving page, with no app download and no code scanning. Every plate also carries a QR backup for phones without NFC.
