About

Pushpay is a purpose-built church technology platform that combines online giving, church management, and member engagement into a single unified solution. Its flagship product, ChurchStaq, serves as an all-in-one platform covering giving, church management software (ChMS), communications, volunteer management, child check-in, event and facility management, and reporting analytics. For Catholic communities, ParishStaq offers a tailored administration suite designed in collaboration with diocesan leaders. At the heart of Pushpay's giving experience is its 6-second mobile giving flow—the fastest in the industry—and Everygift® Technology, which automatically secures donations, recovers failed transactions, and converts offline donors to digital giving without manual intervention. Churches switching to Pushpay see an average 24% increase in recurring donors and approximately $95K in additional secured annual giving for congregations of around 500 members. Pushpay also owns its payment processing infrastructure directly, ensuring reliability and competitive processing rates. The platform integrates with popular ministry tools including Gusto for payroll, Resi for live streaming, Engiven for stock and crypto giving, and MortarStone for giving analytics. AI solutions are emerging features to assist churches with policy generation, outreach automation, and administrative efficiency. A no-cost 12-month grant program is available for qualified pre-launch church plants, making it accessible even to new congregations.

Cons

Church-Exclusive Focus: The platform is built exclusively for churches and religious organizations, making it unsuitable for nonprofits or businesses outside ministry contexts.
Cost for Smaller Congregations: As an enterprise-grade platform, pricing may be a barrier for very small churches or those with limited budgets outside the grant program.
Separate Products for Catholic vs. Protestant: Catholic parishes require ParishStaq rather than ChurchStaq, meaning feature parity and updates may differ between the two product lines.
