vs. Pushpay
Pushpay (often paired with Church Community Builder) is built for giving at scale—with enterprise pricing and contracts to match. Most small churches are paying for capacity they'll never use.
Pushpay handles giving at real scale—multi-campus churches processing hundreds of thousands of dollars a month lean on it for good reason. Paired with CCB for church management, it's a serious, capable system.
It's also priced and contracted like enterprise software: $250-400/month combined is typical, usually with an annual commitment, before you've even accepted a single donation.
Linkfount for Orgs is built for the church that needs online giving to work well, without paying multi-campus rates to get it.

Enterprise giving, small-church price tag
The Pushpay problem
- $250-400/mo before you've raised a dollar
- A platform fee on top of card processing
- Annual contracts that lock you in early
- Still no public website in the box
The Linkfount solution
- $100/mo flat, no platform fee on giving
- Stripe's standard rate (2.9% + 30c), nothing more
- Month-to-month, no annual lock-in
- Website, giving, and directory in one place
When Pushpay makes sense
To be fair to Pushpay: if you're a multi-campus church processing well into six figures a month in giving and need the reporting and infrastructure that comes with that volume, it's a reasonable tool for the job.
If you're a single congregation trying to make online giving simple for your members without an enterprise price tag, you're likely paying for scale you don't need.
The bottom line
Most small churches don't need multi-campus giving infrastructure—they need donors to be able to give online without friction, and a website that doesn't embarrass anyone.
Linkfount for Orgs gives you both for $100/month, no platform fee on donations, and no contract holding you to it.
