Two One-Time-Cost Models, One Difference: You Can See the Price
Credit where it's due: TAPiTAG's own FAQ says once you buy the tag, it's yours — no ongoing fee. The real difference is whether you can find out what it costs before you talk to a salesperson.
TAPiTAG
Getting a price
Tap.Giving
Getting a price
Why it matters: Both are one-time purchases, and we won't pretend otherwise. What you can't do with TAPiTAG is compare the actual cost before a sales conversation — and if you're a US church, you're also pricing in EUR-to-USD conversion and international shipping. Tap.Giving posts the price and ships free within the US.
Payment Processor Lock-In
Your church deserves platform freedom
TAPiTAG: Limited Options
TAPiTAG integrates with Stripe, AIB Merchant Services (an Irish bank), and Pushpay. That’s it. If your church uses Tithe.ly, Subsplash, Planning Center, Donorbox, Givelify, or any other platform, you’re out of luck, or forced to switch.
Tap.Giving: Any Platform
Tap.Giving discs link directly to whatever giving URL you choose. Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Subsplash, Planning Center, Donorbox, Givelify, Anedot, Realm, if it has a URL, it works. Switch platforms anytime without buying new hardware.
Where Do Donations Actually Go?
The middleman problem most churches don’t think about
TAPiTAG Flow
Tap.Giving Flow
No middleman. No third-party data collection. Three steps instead of four.
Why this matters: When donations flow through a third-party managed page, that’s another system handling your congregation’s financial data. With Tap.Giving, the tap goes straight to your existing giving platform. Your data stays in your system, your donor records stay unified, and there’s no intermediary between your congregation and their gift.
Built for US Churches
Geography matters when it comes to shipping, support, and payment options
Free Shipping to Every Destination We Serve
TAPiTAG ships from Athlone, Ireland. International shipping to the US adds cost and time. Tap.Giving includes free shipping to every destination we agree to serve.
Transparent Pricing
TAPiTAG doesn’t publish per-tag pricing on their website, you have to request a quote. Tap.Giving lists every price publicly: $3.50 to $5.00 per disc, no hidden costs, no surprises.
USD Pricing, No Renewals
TAPiTAG is Ireland-based and doesn't publish a price — you'll get a euro quote after a sales conversation. Tap.Giving posts US-dollar pricing on our site and ships free within the US. No currency conversion, no quote request.
