How Much Does Pushpay Cost? Pushpay Pricing and Fees in 2026
Short answer: Pushpay does not publish its prices, so every figure comes from third-party reviews and churches who have signed. Reported 2026 pricing starts around $199 per month for giving alone and climbs to $500 to $1,500 or more per month once an app and church management are bundled, plus roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per card gift (1% + $0.30 ACH), on an annual contract. If all your church really wants is faster giving in the room, Tap.Giving NFC plates are a one-time cost of $3.50 to $4.50 each that work with your Pushpay page or any other giving page.

How much does Pushpay cost in 2026?
Pushpay does not list prices on its website. You request a demo, talk to sales, and receive a custom quote based on your church size, the products you want, and the length of your contract. Because of that, the numbers below come from third-party reviews and from churches reporting what they were quoted, not from an official price sheet.
The clearest way to read Pushpay's cost is by what you bundle. Giving on its own sits at the bottom. Add the mobile app and Church Community Builder (CCB), Pushpay's church management system, and the monthly figure climbs quickly.
| What you bundle | Reported monthly cost | Reported yearly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Giving only (entry) | from ~$199/mo | ~$2,400+/yr |
| Giving + app (mid-size church) | ~$500-$800/mo | ~$6,000-$9,600/yr |
| Giving + app + CCB (large / multisite) | ~$1,000-$1,500+/mo | ~$12,000-$18,000+/yr |
Figures are reported by third-party review sites and churches as of 2026, not Pushpay's official pricing, which is not public. Confirm your own numbers in a written quote before you sign.
The dimension that matters most is time. A quote of $600 per month is not a one-time expense. It is $7,200 in year one, and the same again every year you stay, before a single processing fee. That is the honest lens for any platform cost: not the monthly number, but the number multiplied by every year you keep paying it.
What are Pushpay's transaction fees?
The monthly platform fee is not the whole cost. Every online gift also carries a processing fee, and that is separate from and on top of the subscription. Third-party reviews report Pushpay's rates in the standard range for card processing.
Credit & debit cards
~2.9% + $0.30
Reported per card gift. A $100 donation costs the church about $3.20 in processing.
ACH / bank transfer
~1% + $0.30
Reported per ACH gift. A $100 donation costs the church about $1.30, far cheaper than card.
These rates are close to what most giving platforms charge, so processing is not where Pushpay is expensive. The platform subscription is. When you compare Pushpay to another option, put the monthly fee and the processing fee in the same table and multiply both across a full year. For a deeper look at the fees that do not show up on the quote, see our guide to the hidden costs of church giving platforms.
Why doesn't Pushpay publish its prices?
Pushpay sells a bundled platform, giving, a branded church app, and church management, priced by church size and feature set. Software sold that way is almost always quoted rather than listed, because the seller wants to size the deal to the buyer before naming a number. That is normal for enterprise tools. The practical effect for a pastor is that you cannot compare Pushpay to anything until you have sat through a demo.
If you do take the call, a few questions save you from surprises later:
- What is the total monthly cost for exactly the products we need, with nothing bundled in that we will not use?
- Is there a setup or onboarding fee, and how long is the contract?
- What is the exact processing rate on cards and on ACH, in writing?
- What happens to the price at renewal?
A church that walks in with those four questions gets a much clearer picture than one that reacts to the headline monthly number.
Is Pushpay worth it for your church?
Pushpay is a capable product, and for the right church it earns its cost. The question is not whether it is good. It is whether you need the whole bundle.
When Pushpay makes sense
You are a large or multisite church that wants one vendor for a branded app, church management, and giving, and you have staff who will actually use all of it. At that scale the bundle can be cheaper and simpler than stitching three tools together, and the monthly cost is a small share of the budget.
When it is more than you need
You are a smaller church whose real goal is people giving quickly on a Sunday. Paying several thousand dollars a year for an app and a full ChMS to reach that one outcome is paying for features you will not open. The in-service giving job can be done for a fraction of the cost.

The one-time alternative: NFC plates that work with Pushpay
Important: Tap.Giving is not a payment processor and not a Pushpay replacement for churches that want the full platform. We sell the hardware. You keep whatever giving page you already use, including Pushpay. Tap a phone on the plate, your giving page opens, no app to download.
Because plates carry no subscription, the cost lives in one place: the plates themselves. Here is the year-one and every-year-after math against a mid-range Pushpay quote, so the time dimension is visible.
| Option | Year one | Every year after |
|---|---|---|
| Pushpay giving + app (reported) | ~$6,000-$9,600 | ~$6,000-$9,600 |
| 100 Tap.Giving plates | $450 one-time | $0 |
| 400 Tap.Giving plates | $1,400 one-time | $0 |
Tap.Giving pricing: $4.50/plate (100-199), $4.00 (200-399), $3.50 (400+), one-time, with free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pushpay figures are third-party reports, not official pricing. Both options still pay standard processing fees on each gift, so those are left out of the comparison.
This is not an argument that Pushpay is bad. It is an argument about matching the spend to the job. A church that wants an app and church management should price Pushpay honestly and decide. A church that mainly wants faster giving in the room can get there for a one-time cost, and keep Pushpay too if it already has it. I am a pastor. I built Tap.Giving because our own church wanted people to give without friction and did not want another monthly bill to do it.

Frequently asked questions about Pushpay pricing
How much does Pushpay cost per month?
Pushpay does not publish its prices, so figures come from third-party reviews and churches who have signed. Reported 2026 pricing starts around $199 per month for giving alone and runs to $500 to $1,500 or more per month once an app and church management (CCB) are bundled. Every plan is a custom quote after a sales call, and annual contracts are standard.
What are Pushpay's transaction fees?
Third-party reviews report Pushpay processing at about 2.9% + $0.30 per credit or debit gift and 1% + $0.30 per ACH bank transfer. Those processing fees are separate from and on top of the monthly platform subscription, and the church pays them on every gift for as long as it uses the platform.
Why doesn't Pushpay list its pricing?
Pushpay sells a bundled platform (giving, an app, and church management) priced by church size and feature set, so it uses a quote model: you request a demo and receive a custom proposal. That is common for enterprise software, but it means you cannot compare Pushpay's cost to anything else without booking a call first.
Can I use Tap.Giving plates with Pushpay?
Yes. Tap.Giving plates can be encoded with any URL, including your Pushpay giving page. You keep Pushpay exactly as it is and add tap-to-give hardware on pew backs or chairs for a one-time cost of $3.50 to $4.50 per plate with free shipping.
Is Pushpay worth it for a small church?
For a large multisite church that wants one vendor for an app, church management, and giving, Pushpay's bundle can be worth the monthly cost. For a smaller church that mainly wants people to give quickly in the room, an annual contract of several thousand dollars is usually more than it needs. A free or low-cost giving page plus one-time NFC plates covers the same in-service giving job.
