Tithe.ly Giving may be free, but their add-on apps quickly add up. Their ChMS app alone costs $72/month. They also offer websites, a church app, and messaging apps. These apps cost extra.

Tithe.ly's pricing structure inevitably leads churches to selecting the $119/month plan that includes all of their applications. This does not include giving fees, or messaging fees.

The Tithe.ly pricing structure is a flat-rate price for every ministry. At a minimum of $1200 a year, this puts heavy pressure on the budgets of churches and ministries with less than 300 people. ChurchTrac not only has more features than Tithe.ly, for most churches the price of ChurchTrac is typically a fraction of what Tithe.ly would charge. In fact, Tithe.ly costs TWENTY TIMES more than ChurchTrac for smaller ministries. Larger churches could save thousands of dollars a year by switching to ChurchTrac.

At ChurchTrac, we believe smaller churches should pay less. We're committed to supporting the local church, ensuring no church pays more than necessary. Our pricing allows you to customize your plan based on your church size and desired features without overspending. The software you choose should bless your ministry, not burden it.

On average, mid sized churches switching from Tithe.ly ChMS to ChurchTrac save $700 a year. Smaller churches save even more, making ChurchTrac the #1 most affordable alternative to Tithe.ly. And if you're a larger church or if you want the ChurchTrac's "Unlimited" name option, your monthly cost is still significantly less than the cost of Tithe.ly, regardless of ministry size.

When you take into consideration the fact that Tithe.ly does not include accounting features, your savings with ChurchTrac are even bigger.

ChurchTrac puts ease of use at the forefront, making it simple for churches of all sizes to stay organized and connected. With an intuitive interface and straightforward navigation, users can quickly access the features they need without feeling overwhelmed.

Whether it's managing volunteers, tracking attendance, or handling contributions, ChurchTrac's design prioritizes user experience, ensuring that even those with limited technical skills can get started without a steep learning curve.

Sure, Tithe.ly has some resources to help you learn and use their application. Tithe.ly offers free support which consists of a knowledgebase, chat, videos, and a handful of previous webinars in Tithe.ly U. They give you the option to schedule a phone call, but you cannot select an exact time to be called.

With ChurchTrac, we take more of a hands-on approach. Yes, ChurchTrac is intuitive and super simple to use, but we still offer training videos, live webinars with Q&A, and even free one-on-one workshops. You can even schedule a call with the support team at a time that works best for you.

While many companies take hours to reply to your questions, our team typically handles most support incidents in less than 1 business hour.


We see every church as a ministry partner, not a customer. Any way that we can help your ministry succeed, we're here for you. Whether it's helping you craft a better safety protocol for your Children's Ministry, or simply praying for you and your family...that's what we do.

With Tithe.ly, you can track giving, but you can't keep track of finances. Instead, you have to purchase (yet another) third-party tool. These tools often cost just as much (if not more) than Tithe.ly.

ChurchTrac gives you the ability to track all of your income and expenses, and to plan your spending using budgets. You can also print checks, reconcile transactions, import bank statements, and generate easy-to-understand financial reports. Since ChurchTrac is a true Fund Accounting program made for churches, you can easily track and manage your fund balances. Volunteers love ChurchTrac's simplicity; accountants love the features.

Both Tithe.ly and ChurchTrac have worship planning features. With Tithe.ly, you'll need to pay for another (expensive) add-on to have access to worship planning tools. Churches ending up having to bundle all the Tithe.ly apps to get the worship app. This makes Tithe.ly's cost go up into the upper realm of pricing.

ChurchTrac gives your worship leader the tools to plan services, schedule teams, and manage their song library. ChurchTrac also features chord transposing, scheduling reminders, and an integration with SongSelect.

ChurchTrac is the only church management solution that includes both a website and app... at no extra charge! Church Connect, the member-facing side of ChurchTrac, lets your congregation install the app on Apple or Android devices in seconds by scanning a QR code.

It integrates seamlessly with ChurchTrac, linking members to their profiles upon registration, or allowing quick additions of new members. They can view and update their profiles, ensuring your database stays current, and stay updated with announcements while submitting prayer requests or other information to leadership through our custom form builder. Church Connect also features self-check-in, allowing members to mark themselves and their families present upon arrival. Members can give online, view their giving history, and print contribution statements through Church Connect, with donors able to set up ACH or text giving. The app displays upcoming events, enabling easy registration. Volunteers and band members can respond to service invites or indicate their availability, while musicians can access worship outlines, sheet music, and chord charts—all from their mobile devices.

ChurchTrac has been around since 2002, growing to be the preferred choice of most small and mid-sized ministries. We focus on the needs of churches first. While many companies only care about larger churches, we decided to be different.

We're a team of people that have firsthand experience in leading worship, teaching, preaching, church finance, children's ministry, and more. We serve in the local church, so we know the needs of the local church. Our experience helps us to serve you better.

Your ministry is our ministry. Your mission is our mission. We love to help churches, and we often get feedback like this:
