Pushpay Review

PROS: What they promise is what is best, but they do not deliver on their promises.

CONS: They promise a church management software, but they do not deliver. They perform a bait and switch.....

PROS: We’ve used a similar app before, but Pushpay really takes the cake when it comes to ease and usability. For one, it has simplified the process of giving for our church members. On the volunteers’ end, we’ve been able to streamline the accepting and recording of data. This is really a great app to have in our toolbox.

CONS: A lot still needs to be worked on when it comes to the reporting aspect of this app. The elements cannot be personalized and we would have to depend on their templated reports. I’m quite disappointed to say that we have resorted to using a separate solution for our reports.

PROS: I love how sending donations get reflected in real-time. The longest that I’ve had to wait to send my gift is about a minute--that’s it. There’s a proof of receipt sent to email addresses after so that the sender can keep tabs of their donations too.

CONS: I am an admin of Pushpay in my community too. While sending payments can be quite a breeze, the opposite end of the donations isn’t enjoying the same benefits. For one, it’s a little difficult for us to track the funds that have been transferred to us. The reports that we generate from this tool still leaves so much room for improvement too.

PROS: This is a foolproof way to send money. There is no extra information needed, you just click on a few options and you’re done! This is by far the best money-sending app I have used because the others just seem to ask too much data from you.

CONS: I don’t have any complaints regarding this app.

PROS: I use Pushpay to send donations to my church community. So far, things are working really well. I love how simple the initial set up was. I am now able to set up recurring donations too so that I won’t forget to give my share of blessings to the community.

CONS: I use the app to send donations. However, once I click on the “Give” button, I get transferred to a web browser. This is not a very big deal for me, just curious as to why the developers have set it up this way.

PROS: This really takes the bulk of donation processing from our admin team. With Pushpay, we’ve been able to easily accept and keep tabs on donations and gifts that are sent to our ministry. We’ve also had really good feedback from the community itself. The support team has been really helpful since day 1 as well. They’ve helped us set up our accounts and continue to help us whenever we run into any issues.

CONS: For one, using this app can be quite costly. We really took our time to weigh our options and consider if we could afford this tool. Also, while the support team is really helpful, they do take quite some time to respond to our questions. Some of the helpdesk tickets that we have filed have yet to be addressed.

PROS: They made good on their money-back guarantee if revenue goals were not satisfied.

CONS: It took quite a while to get them to provide the refund.

PROS: I really love how you can customize the whole look and feel of this app according to your company’s branding. I’ve been able to set it up in a way that looks professional. I like how this renders well on mobile too and is really easy to use.

CONS: I feel like the reporting aspect of this app still needs a bit of work. I initially added comments to my database, but as it turns out, I cannot filter my reports based on those comments. Now, I have to sift through all of them to find the data that I need.

PROS: We needed an app that was uncomplicated and simple so that our church members would have no problem in using it. We found that Pushpay responds best to this requirement of ours. It’s really easy to set-up and even easier to use for giving.

CONS: As long as you know exactly what you need from the app and the specifics of how you want it to perform, then there shouldn’t be any problem. However, the setup can take quite some time if you yourself don’t know what areas you need the app to work on.

PROS: It didn’t take us too long to familiarize ourselves with this app. Ever since we started using it, we’ve noticed more engagement within our community. We even have noticed an uptick in the amount of donations that we have been receiving from our members. This is truly the best app for us.

CONS: There’s not much stored data (or the capacity for it) in the app for us to check who sent in donations or gifts for people. Right now the only information that we have on the senders is their name and their email address.

PROS: I absolutely love the option of setting up recurring payments on a monthly basis. This gives me so much convenience because I no longer have to worry about missing my payments. I have the option to access this program on my phone or my desktop too. I am really impressed with what this software has to offer.

CONS: First of all, I really hate caged responses from support teams. Pushpay’s reps still need to be trained in so many areas. They haven’t been very helpful at all. Instead, they just give me templated answers. Whenever the pricing changes, users don’t get informed right away too. A lot still has to be done internally, I think.

PROS: This app really encourages you to keep on giving because of how easy it is to send out gifts and donations. Right at the get-go everything just comes easy with this tool.

CONS: I have no complaints. This is a really useful app to have.

PROS: Pushpay is one of those apps that don’t have so many extra steps just for you to send money through it. It is straightforward and fairly easy to understand. You can even dress it up visually. If you do have questions, there are plenty of resources online that will tutor you on how to use it. Alternatively, you can also call their helpful support team.

CONS: We’ve only been met with benefits ever since using this app. Our church community has given nothing but positive feedback about Pushpay.

PROS: One thing I love about Pushpay is that it makes giving so much easier. We have other software that we use in our community, and they both work really well together. I’ve also been able to generate reports through Pushpay as well as engage some of our community members through its messaging feature.

CONS: I really hope that Pushpay would take more time in training their support team. The ones I have talked to haven’t been very helpful at all. In fact, they haven’t really assisted me in anything. This is quite disappointing, to say the least.

PROS: We’ve successfully welcomed our church community into the tech-century by introducing our members to this app. So far, we’ve had really positive feedback about it. Sending gifts and donations are now much easier and can be reflected in our accounts in just a matter of seconds.

CONS: One would need to invest in this app to fully utilize it. I don’t like that there are extra fees on top of the registration requirements.

PROS: We initially had this app set up for members of our church who don’t always carry cash or checkbooks with them. Through Pushpay, we’ve been able to solicit for donations more efficiently. Transferring of money can be done with just a few simple clicks of a button. Offering our members to pay through Pushpay has been a really nice addition to our ministry.

CONS: The app does need us to do some grunt work. By this, I mean that we do need to constantly update our members’ database so that everything is up-to-date.

PROS: The main benefit that Pushpay really sells is the ease of sending donations for its users. I regularly donate to my ministry, however, I don’t like carrying larger sums of money at a time too. This is why I end up giving just up to $50 in church. But with Pushpay, I can now send more. Even better, I can even indicate which initiative or project in church my money should go to.

CONS: As with all app installations, I really am averse to the idea of having to set up my account--linking my email address and my bank details. I guess this has more to do with me than the app itself.

PROS: I’m glad that church communities have decided to take their donation processes online. With Pushpay, I’ve been able to send my gifts to the church with just a few, simple clicks of a button. It’s really convenient. I don’t have to worry about withdrawing cash from the bank and carrying them over to the church. The bank-to-app process is just really straightforward. Even with multiple banks enrolled in Pushpay’s system, I haven’t had any issues so far. In fact, I’ve recently set up a recurring donation timeline so that I can automatically give to my church community.

CONS: This app has been working really well for me. However, much like most apps in the market, there are certain drawbacks to this app. For one, it does have its moments when it just lags and I’d have no choice but to reboot my phone just to get it started again. Logging in used to be an issue too but the recent updates have already addressed this quite efficiently.

PROS: Pushpay has allowed us to open up more avenues for giving. For one, the younger population of our church community has been enjoying this app more. The same goes for those who don’t always carry cash or their checkbooks with them. From our end, we’ve also been able to direct the specific accounts (within our “parent” account) for which the payments would automatically go to.

CONS: I’m really happy with our partnership with Pushpay.
