Pros

“We have been using Pushpay for 9 years and find it to be a great way to receive donations from anyone, anywhere, at any time. ”

Fred P.

Associate Pastor

“The only way to contact them is through a portal requesting a call back and setting an appointment, which is automatically confirmed on a calendar only to have the rep repeatedly fail to keep.”

Patrick B.

Lead Pastor

“I’m hoping they provide this feature to allow donors to put a single amount for example of $120 and be able to break it down to say Tithes & Offerings $100 and Building project $20. ”

Isaac T.

Treasurer

Pros

“One of the aspects I appreciate most about Nucleus is its intuitive interface, which effectively simplifies and consolidates a range of business operations.”

Christy O.

Regional Network Performance Analyst

“It's the lowest you'll find anywhere. When you consider everything it includes, Nucleus offers CHMS, email, stock footage, social posts, giving, event registration, website builder and a sermon engine all for $199 month.”

Andrew L.

Communications Director

“Nucleus Web has consistently provided the best possible product, especially with their new Web2 platform, they've developed amazing new tools that help with not only creating a highly-customizable website, but also a website that can be easily managed by a team of people -all with different levels of permissions.”

Gabe S.

Director of Worship & Media

Cons

“Our church does not use Pushpay's customized church app feature or church management software because we found it lacking in comparison to competitor's products.”

Taylor S.

Student Ministry Director

“They mislead donors by thinking they are paying the fee for the church but in reality they are just giving more which Pushpay takes their percentage off the total and still bills the church the full amount plus the extra.”

Naomi M.

Finance Clerk

“Having emails and messages filtered through care@pushpay.com caused a delay and allowed for misunderstandings.”

Troyann W.

Executive Director

Cons

“They also deposit online giving once or twice a day, which makes reconciliation a bit tedious.”

Andrew L.

Communications Director

“I've never felt let down by the team, but the only thing that has consistently irritated me about the product is a lack of integrations with other software platforms, such as Planning Center or Mailchimp, specifically in the area of people/database management.”

Gabe S.

Director of Worship & Media

“Unable to use giving feature as we are based in Australia. ”
