Pushpay review

Pushpay started as a giving platform and now sells ChurchStaq, an all-in-one church management system, alongside its giving apps. The ChMS covers groups, events and calendars, follow-up processes, custom searches and reports, attendance tracking, child check-in, service planning and volunteer scheduling, with the LEAD app for staff and the MyChurch app for members. Giving tools include tracking of online, offline and non-cash gifts, giving in Spanish, and stock and crypto gifts through Engiven. Higher tiers add a donor development dashboard and campaign pledging. There is no limit on users or administrators, no setup fee, and payment is monthly or annual by ACH. Pushpay does not publish prices; you request a demo for a quote, and check scanning starts at $0.29 per check. Pre-launch church plants that qualify can apply for a 12-month grant for the full platform.
