WGC vs. Breeze ChMS
A church-management bundle — giving fees now inherited from its new owner, Tithe.ly.
| Platform | Card rate | ACH rate | Platform fee |
|---|---|---|---|
WGC | 2.3% + $0.25 (capped) | 25¢ flat | $10/mo |
| Breeze ChMS | ~2.9% + $0.30 | ~1% | ~$67–$119/mo |

Breeze is best known as an affordable, flat-rate church management system — giving is one module inside that bundle, with rates that now follow Tithe.ly's pricing since Tithe.ly's acquisition of Breeze.
Where WGC and Breeze actually differ
Giving isn't the product — the ChMS is
Breeze's core value is its church management system (people database, check-ins, events). Giving rides along as a feature inside that ~$67–$119/month bundle, rather than being the dedicated focus the way it is with WGC.
Flat ACH vs. a percentage
WGC charges a flat 25¢ per ACH transfer. Breeze's giving fees — inherited from Tithe.ly — run roughly 1% on ACH transfers.
Paying for a ChMS you may not need
If your church doesn't need a full people-management system, paying $67–$119/month for Breeze just to get giving costs more than WGC's dedicated $10/month giving platform.
When Breeze might still be the right call
Churches that want an affordable, all-in-one ChMS-plus-giving bundle and don't need WGC's deeper payment-specific features — the combined price can make sense if you're using both halves of what Breeze offers.
WGC vs. Breeze, answered
Is Breeze's giving the same as Tithe.ly's now?
Breeze was acquired by Tithe.ly, and its giving fees have moved toward Tithe.ly's own rate structure — roughly 2.9% + $0.30 on cards and about 1% on ACH. WGC's rates are unaffected by that acquisition and remain a flat 25¢ ACH with a capped 2.3% + $0.25 card rate.
Should I use Breeze just for the giving feature?
Probably not, if giving is your main need — Breeze's price reflects its full church management bundle. A dedicated giving platform like WGC, at $10/month, is typically the better fit if you don't also need the ChMS side.
