Frequently
asked questions
Is EasyChurchApp a Pushpay alternative?
It can be. EasyChurchApp combines a church website, member app and online giving in one product, free for up to 10 active accounts. The sections above say when Pushpay may be the better fit.
Is Church Community Builder the same as Pushpay now?
Yes. Pushpay bought Church Community Builder, and its technology is now part of Pushpay's church management software. The old Church Community Builder website redirects to Pushpay.
Does EasyChurchApp charge a platform fee on giving?
No. Your church pays only Stripe's processing fee, and EasyChurchApp adds nothing on top. Online giving is on paid plans.
Can we keep our current giving provider?
Yes. Choose "Use my current provider" and your website and app will send people to your current giving page. This works on the free plan, and you can move giving over later.
Can we move our data from Pushpay?
You can import people and giving history into EasyChurchApp from a CSV file. Addresses don't import yet.
