SecureGive Pricing & Fees in 2026: Real Numbers for Churches
SecureGive publishes two plans: Basic at $149/month and Premium at $299/month, plus per-gift processing fees of roughly 2% and one-time kiosk hardware from $1,199 to $5,799. That makes SecureGive one of the more transparent church giving platforms on price, but every plan is still a recurring cost that renews every month. Below, we break down SecureGive fees, monthly subscription costs, kiosk pricing, and how SecureGive compares to Tithely, Pushpay, Subsplash, and Tap.Giving.
For churches that want tap-to-give without recurring software fees, Tap.Giving plates are a one-time $3.50-$5.00/plate purchase that works with whatever giving platform you already use.
What Does SecureGive Cost in 2026?
Short answer: SecureGive now lists its plan pricing openly. There are two published software plans, an Enterprise tier by quote, kiosk hardware sold as a one-time purchase, and per-gift processing fees. Here is how those pieces fit together.
Figures below are from SecureGive's published pricing as of 2026. Add-on modules (non-cash giving, campaigns, church apps) and the exact processing rate for your mix of debit, credit, and ACH gifts can move your real total, so confirm the current numbers on SecureGive's pricing page before budgeting.
| Plan or item | Published price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Basic plan | $149/mo | Online giving or kiosk giving, core donor reporting |
| Premium plan | $299/mo | Online, mobile app, text-to-give, kiosk, and check scanning, up to 5 campuses |
| Enterprise plan | Custom quote | Multi-site and larger churches |
| Add-on modules | $49-$300/mo | Campaigns ($49), Non-Cash Giving ($99), Church Apps ($200-$300 plus a $500 setup) |
| Kiosk hardware (one-time) | $1,199-$5,799 | iPad Series $1,199, Classic $2,699, Modern $3,799, Signature $5,799 |
| Processing (online) | ~1.75% + $0.30 debit ~2.5% + $0.30 credit |
Per gift, on top of the plan. SecureGive describes a blended effective rate near 2% for most churches |
Figures reflect SecureGive's published pricing as of 2026. Your effective processing rate depends on your mix of debit, credit, and ACH gifts, so confirm the current numbers on SecureGive's pricing page before you budget.
SecureGive Fees Breakdown: Platform, Processing, and Hardware
When churches ask "how much does SecureGive cost?", they're usually surprised by how many separate line items end up on the invoice. SecureGive giving fees generally fall into four buckets:
Monthly platform subscription
Published at $149/month for Basic or $299/month for Premium. This is the recurring SaaS fee for the SecureGive giving platform, reporting dashboard, and donor management tools. It renews every month, in months with heavy giving and months with none.
Processing / transaction fees
SecureGive's published online rates are about 1.75% + $0.30 for debit and 2.5% + $0.30 for credit, with lower in-person kiosk rates, and the company describes a blended effective rate near 2% for most churches. Even at 2%, a church receiving $300,000 a year in electronic gifts pays around $6,000 a year in processing, on top of the plan fee, and it grows as giving grows.
Kiosk hardware & SecureGive Tap devices
SecureGive is well known for physical giving kiosks. Published prices run from $1,199 for the iPad Series up to $5,799 for the Signature Series, as a one-time purchase. SecureGive Tap devices (the NFC component) are sold separately and typically require the SecureGive platform underneath. This is upfront capital that lives on church property and requires maintenance.
Setup, training, and add-ons
Add-on modules run $49 to $300 a month on top of the plan: Campaigns at $49, Non-Cash Giving at $99, and Church Apps at $200-$300 with a one-time $500 setup. SecureGive advertises no long-term contracts, which is a real plus, but every module you add is another recurring line item.

SecureGive Giving Fees vs Other Church Giving Platforms
How SecureGive pricing compares to Tithely, Pushpay, Subsplash, and Tap.Giving
| Platform | Monthly Fee | Transaction Fee | Setup / Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| SecureGive | $149-$299/mo | ~2% + $0.30 | $1,199-$5,799 kiosks |
| Tithely | $0-$119/mo | 2.9% + $0.30 | $0 (software only) |
| Pushpay | ~$1,000-1,500/mo | 2.9% + $0.30 | Varies (enterprise) |
| Subsplash | Custom quote | Varies | Setup fee varies |
| Tap.Giving | $0/mo | $0 from us | $3.50-5.00/plate (one-time) |
SecureGive fees are from its published pricing as of 2026; Pushpay and Subsplash monthly fees are publicly reported ranges. Actual quotes vary by church size and bundle. Tap.Giving charges only for the NFC plates themselves - your existing giving platform continues to handle payment processing.

What SecureGive Costs Over Time vs a One-Time Plate Order
The monthly number is easy to underrate. A plan fee is small in any single month and large across the years a church actually keeps a platform. SecureGive Tap, the NFC part of SecureGive, needs a SecureGive plan running underneath it, so the recurring cost is the real price of tap-to-give on SecureGive. Here is the same tap-to-give capability priced two ways over five years.
| Tap-to-give, priced two ways | Year 1 | 3-year total | 5-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| SecureGive Basic plan ($149/mo, the platform SecureGive Tap runs on) | $1,788 | $5,364 | $8,940 |
| Tap.Giving (200 plates, one-time, works with your current platform) | $800 | $800 | $800 |
Plan-fee only, so the comparison is like for like. Add a kiosk ($1,199-$5,799, one-time) and per-gift processing (about 2% of every donation) to the SecureGive column. The plate column has neither: Tap.Giving takes no monthly fee and no cut of any gift.
A concrete example. A 300-member church adding tap-to-give on SecureGive pays $149 a month, or $1,788 a year, every year, before a single kiosk or processing fee. Two hundred Tap.Giving plates cost $800 once and point at the giving page the church already uses. By month five the plates have paid for themselves, and every year after is $1,788 the church keeps for ministry.
The honest carve-out: SecureGive is a full giving platform and Tap.Giving is not. If your church needs SecureGive's kiosks, check scanning, or reporting, the plan fee buys real software. But if you already have a giving platform you like, tap-to-give does not require a new subscription. See how the plates stack up against a lobby kiosk in our church giving kiosk alternative guide.
Hidden Costs of SecureGive You Might Miss
The monthly fee and transaction fee are just the start. Churches evaluating SecureGive often overlook these line items:
Kiosk maintenance & replacement
Physical kiosks are computers. Screens crack, touch panels wear, software needs updates. Budget for repairs and eventual replacement every 4-6 years.
Integrations & add-ons
Connecting SecureGive to your Church Management System (ChMS) or accounting tool may require paid integrations or third-party connectors.
Staff training
New giving software means training the giving team, finance volunteers, and anyone on stage who announces the giving moment. That's real staff hours you're paying for.
The recurring fee itself
SecureGive advertises no long-term contracts, so you can leave. The cost that is easy to miss is not a lock-in clause, it is the fee you keep paying for as long as you stay: $149 to $299 every month, plus processing, in every year you use the platform.
Switching costs
If you move off SecureGive later, donor data, recurring-gift setups, and integrations all have to be migrated. Building on a platform-agnostic hardware layer avoids this lock-in.
Rate changes over time
Monthly fees and transaction fees aren't locked forever. Card-network price increases typically pass through to churches. Read the fee-change clause in your agreement.
A Cheaper Alternative: Tap.Giving NFC Plates
Tap.Giving isn't a SecureGive replacement in the full-platform sense - we don't process payments, and we're not trying to. We sell the hardware layer: NFC tap-to-give plates that mount on pew backs, chair backs, welcome desks, or next to your offering box. When someone taps their phone, it opens your church's existing giving page - whether that's SecureGive, Tithely, Pushpay, Planning Center, Givelify, or anything else.
That means there's nothing to change on the software side. Your finance team keeps its current reporting. Donors keep their recurring gifts. Staff keep their training. You just add an extra, extremely easy way to give - at a one-time hardware cost instead of a recurring subscription.
A 200-plate order is $800 - total. No monthly fee. No transaction fee from us. No contract. For a church paying SecureGive's $1,788/year (Basic) to $3,588/year (Premium) in platform fees, an $800 plate order pays for itself in under six months and keeps paying dividends every year after that.

Frequently Asked Questions About SecureGive Pricing
How much does SecureGive cost per month?
SecureGive now publishes plan pricing openly: Basic at $149 per month and Premium at $299 per month, with an Enterprise tier by quote. Kiosk hardware is a separate one-time cost, from about $1,199 for an iPad-based unit up to $5,799 for a top-tier kiosk. Processing runs roughly 1.75% + $0.30 on debit and 2.5% + $0.30 on credit online, which SecureGive positions as a blended effective rate near 2%. Add-on modules run $49 to $300 per month on top of the plan.
Does SecureGive charge transaction fees?
Yes. Every donation carries a processing fee. SecureGive's published online rates are about 1.75% + $0.30 for debit and 2.5% + $0.30 for credit, with lower in-person kiosk rates, and the company describes a blended effective rate of roughly 2% or less for most churches. Even at 2%, a church receiving $300,000 a year in electronic gifts pays around $6,000 a year in processing, on top of the monthly plan fee.
What's the difference between SecureGive and SecureGive Tap?
SecureGive is the broader church giving platform (online giving pages, kiosks, recurring gifts, reporting). SecureGive Tap is the NFC tap-to-give product inside that ecosystem. SecureGive Tap still requires you to use SecureGive's giving platform, which means you pay SecureGive's monthly platform fee and transaction fees on top of the tap hardware. By contrast, Tap.Giving sells NFC plates that work with whatever giving platform your church already uses.
Is there a cheaper alternative to SecureGive?
Yes. Tap.Giving is a one-time hardware purchase with no monthly platform fee and no transaction fees from us. Plates cost $3.50-$5.00 each in volume, with a 100-plate minimum. Churches keep their existing giving platform and processor, so there is nothing new to set up on the software side. SecureGive's own plans run $1,788 a year (Basic) to $3,588 a year (Premium) before processing, so switching that recurring spend to one-time NFC plates plus the giving tool you already use can save $1,800-$3,600 or more per year.
Does SecureGive lock you into a contract?
SecureGive advertises no long-term contracts and no hidden fees on its pricing page, which is a genuine plus. Even so, get the specifics in writing before you sign: the plan you are on, what each add-on module costs, whether kiosk hardware is owned outright, and how processing rates can change. A monthly platform fee is still a recurring cost that renews every month you keep the service.
How does SecureGive pricing compare to Tithely and Pushpay?
Tithely offers a free tier plus paid plans up to about $119/month, with 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fees. Pushpay is enterprise-priced, often reported around $1,000-$1,500 per month all-in, with 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fees. SecureGive publishes $149/month (Basic) and $299/month (Premium), with lower per-gift processing than either but kiosk hardware of $1,199-$5,799 that Tithely and Pushpay don't require. Tap.Giving has no monthly fee and no transaction fee because we only sell the NFC hardware - you keep whatever giving software and processor you already use.
Keep Your Giving Platform. Skip the Monthly Fee on Tap-to-Give.
If SecureGive is already working for your church, you don't need to switch. Tap.Giving plates add NFC tap-to-give to the giving platform you already use - for a one-time cost, with no recurring fees from us.
