Dona vs Kindrid
Both stand on church giving software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Dona combines physical terminals with online giving and portal-based fundraising administration. Its costs include monthly device service, hardware options, and separate card processing fees, so organisations should account for each charge.

Choose Kindrid if your church needs multiple giving channels, recurring gifts, reporting, and a church app in one platform. The custom-branded MinistryOne app adds a $1,800 setup fee to its $120 monthly cost, so churches considering that option should account for both charges.
