WGC vs. Givelify
A donor-discovery app with no published ACH rate at all.
| Platform | Card rate | ACH rate | Platform fee |
|---|---|---|---|
WGC | 2.3% + $0.25 (capped) | 25¢ flat | $10/mo |
| Givelify | 2.9% + $0.30 (1.5% + $0.30 on Plus) | N/A | $0 ($99/mo for Plus) |

Givelify works differently from the rest of this list — it's as much a donor-discovery app (donors browse and find churches inside the Givelify app itself) as it is a payment processor, and it only accepts card and digital-wallet gifts.
Where WGC and Givelify actually differ
No ACH option
Givelify has no published ACH rate — every donation runs through a card or digital wallet. WGC supports flat-rate ACH at 25¢ per transfer, which matters for donors who prefer giving by bank transfer, especially on larger gifts.
Free tier vs. Plus, still card-only
Givelify's free tier runs 2.9% + $0.30 per card gift; the $99/month Plus tier drops that to 1.5% + $0.30. Neither tier adds ACH. WGC's single $10/month tier includes both card and flat-rate ACH processing.
A full giving platform, not just a giving button
WGC includes donor profiles, campaign pages, invoicing, and reporting as part of the core platform. Givelify's core strength is donor discovery and a simple giving button inside its own app, rather than a full back-office giving platform.
When Givelify might still be the right call
If reaching donors who browse for churches to support directly inside the Givelify app is valuable to your organization, that discovery feature is a real, distinct value Givelify offers that isn't about processing fees at all.
WGC vs. Givelify, answered
Does Givelify support ACH / bank transfer giving?
No — Givelify has no published ACH rate and processes gifts by card or digital wallet only. WGC supports a flat 25¢ ACH rate alongside card processing.
What's the real difference between Givelify and a platform like WGC?
Givelify is partly a donor-discovery app — donors can find and give to churches browsing inside the Givelify app itself. WGC is a full back-office giving platform: donor profiles, campaigns, invoicing, reporting, and ACH support, embedded in your own organization's giving page rather than a shared discovery app.
