Top reasons churches are moving from Tithe.ly to GraceBase.
Tithe.ly started as a giving tool. We're a complete church management system from day one.
Their 'free' plan charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Our 2.5% flat rate is lower, and we include full ChMS features.
Track hospital visits, prayer requests, and follow-ups. Tithe.ly doesn't offer these essential features.
Advanced giving analytics, attendance trends, and engagement metrics included—not a paid add-on.
Tithe.ly was great for giving but we needed a full ChMS. GraceBase gave us both for less than we were paying in fees.
