MyFundCenter vs. Tithely — Architected as one unified platform — with your choice of Stripe, Clover, or Square.
Tithely offers $0/month standalone Giving or a $119/month All-Access bundle combining Giving, Breeze/Elvanto ChMS, Sites, Apps, and Messaging. MyFundCenter runs giving, pledges, programs, events, facilities, Care Teams, workflows, and Aria AI on one native data model starting at $49/month.
When to Choose MyFundCenter
- You want one cohesive, single-codebase platform from day one rather than navigating separate Giving, Breeze/Elvanto ChMS, and Sites admin experiences.
- You want full ChMS + giving + events + programs + room booking starting at $49/month (saving $70/month vs. Tithely’s $119/month All-Access when you don’t need their app/site bundle).
- You want direct merchant freedom to connect your own Stripe, Clover, or Square account.
- You need multi-step approval workflows, prorated program dues cycles, vendor/claim management, and deterministic PII-redacted AI.
When Tithely May Fit
- You only want a $0/month standalone online donation button with no ChMS directory, events, programs, or facility calendars.
- You want ChMS + basic church website + church app bundled at $119/month and are comfortable processing exclusively through Tithely Pay.
