How does Pushpay
compare to SecureGive?
We are different, both in our software and how we run our company. From pricing, to support, to product features, see how Pushpay stacks up against SecureGive.
Built for Investors, Not Ministries
The Problem:
Pushpay’s focus has shifted from ministry to market share. Acquisitions have taken priority over product innovation, leaving churches behind.
The SecureGive Difference:
We’re privately owned and fully focused on serving churches. Every update, every feature, every decision is made with your mission in mind.
More churches than ever are making the switch...
We’re seeing church after church change their online giving from Pushpay to SecureGive. Give us 60 seconds to share the three most common reasons we hear from ministries when they make the switch.

High Costs & Hidden Fees
The Problem:
Pushpay charges some of the highest processing rates and platform fees in the industry — diverting ministry dollars away from what matters.
The SecureGive Difference:
Our Ministry Minded Processing keeps effective rates at 2% or lower for most churches. That’s more money back in your ministry budget.
Long Waits, Little Help
The Problem:
Pushpay’s support process is ticket-based and often delayed. Many churches report waiting days—or even weeks—for basic help.
The SecureGive Difference:
You’ll talk to a real person the same day—often within hours. Our U.S.-based team understands church needs and responds when it matters, including evenings and weekends.
“We have used our fair share of online giving companies, and you guys definitely exceed the services we got from all the others combined!”
– West Logan Church, West Virginia
Locked In Contracts
The Problem:
Pushpay relies on long-term contracts that favor them—not you. That means no easy exit, even if the platform stops meeting your needs.
The SecureGive Difference:
SecureGive believes partnerships should be earned. We don’t do contracts. You stay because we serve you well, not because you’re stuck.
Outdated & Overcomplicated
The Problem:
As the company has focused more on acquiring other platforms than improving its own, the user experience has fallen behind. Churches often describe it as clunky, unintuitive, and frustrating — especially for staff trying to assist donors or manage giving.
The SecureGive Difference:
SecureGive is clean, intuitive, and designed to help — not hinder — your admin team. Features like DonorIQ, Auto Card Updater, and powerful reporting tools put actionable insights at your fingertips.
Why Churches Make the Move from Pushpay to SecureGive:
Significantly lower processing fees
More intuitive giving and admin experience
Seamless recurring gift migration
Real-time, real person support
No contracts
A ministry-first partner that grows with you
