For years, EasyTithe was one of the go-to names in church giving software. Many churches adopted it for its online giving pages, text-to-give options, and integration with church databases. But as newer platforms have entered the market, the question is: does EasyTithe still deliver?
If you’re considering EasyTithe — or if you’re already stuck in a contract and wondering if it’s time to move on — this review covers what the platform offers, what churches like, and where frustrations often surface. (Video review embedded below if you’d rather watch.)
What EasyTithe Offers
EasyTithe is built as an online and mobile giving platform. Its core features include:
-
Online Giving Pages – Web-based donation forms for one-time or recurring gifts.
-
Text-to-Give – Donors can give quickly via mobile phone.
-
Event Registration & Payments – Collect fees for camps, retreats, and events.
-
Donor Management – Basic reporting and gift tracking.
-
ChMS Integrations – Connects with some church management systems.
The promise is straightforward: help churches make giving easy through modern digital tools.
What Churches Like About EasyTithe
Despite its age in the market, some churches still appreciate EasyTithe for:
-
Familiarity – Many staff and members are used to it.
-
Simple Setup – Giving pages can be created without a tech team.
-
Mobile Giving Options – Text-to-give and app-based donations.
-
Event Payments – Useful for camps and conferences.
-
Integration with Church Databases – Works with certain systems, reducing manual entry.
For churches that value stability and basic functionality, EasyTithe still gets the job done.
Common Complaints
But frustrations with EasyTithe are widespread. Churches report:
-
Dated Interface – The giving pages and dashboard feel clunky compared to newer platforms.
-
High Fees – Transaction costs and contracts can be steep.
-
Long-Term Contracts – Multi-year agreements make it hard to leave.
-
Customer Support Struggles – Delays in resolving issues are a frequent pain point.
-
Lack of Innovation – Churches say newer platforms move faster with updates and features.
These issues make many churches feel “stuck” once they sign up.
Is EasyTithe Worth It?
EasyTithe still provides the basics for online and mobile giving. If your church is small, needs a stable solution, and doesn’t mind a dated design, it can work.
But if you’re looking for modern customization, lower fees, or more donor-focused tools, EasyTithe may not keep up with platforms like Tithe.ly, Subsplash, or Pushpay. For many churches, it feels like a legacy system that hasn’t evolved fast enough.
Final Thoughts
EasyTithe helped many churches get started with digital giving, but newer platforms have passed it in design, flexibility, and overall value. If you’re already locked into a contract, it may still serve you — but if you’re shopping for something new, there are better options on the market.
