Pushpay® vs. Vanco®: Comparing Giving Tools for Online Donations
Vanco is a digital giving tool for churches, non-profits, and educational organizations, and that’s where their focus ends.
Join the 14,000 churches that trust Pushpay for all their technology needs.
Everything Pushpay has created over the past decade has been designed specifically for the Church, by people passionate about serving its needs. A Giving solution is an important tool for ministry, of course, but more and more churches are realizing that a unified, all-in-one suite of digital solutions is critical to realizing their goals and vision.
Pushpay technology was built on the belief that mission-based organizations need great software specifically designed to advance their ministries. That vision has driven our team to develop the industry-leading technology that church leaders depend on to manage their teams, facilitate secure giving, engage their congregations—and ensure the success of their mission.
If you’re currently using or considering adopting Vanco Payment Solutions® for your church, let us show you why Pushpay’s online giving for churches is the better platform for recurring giving and tithes.
A Better Church Software Experience Awaits.

Streamlined Giving Process
Vanco simply processes transactions, but every feature in Pushpay Giving was developed to help boost donations and encourage your church members along their giving journey:
- Our Donor Development dashboard keeps you up-to-date with where your members are on their giving journey. By identifying new donors, second-time givers, new recurring givers and other identifiable groups, you’ll have the insights necessary to engage and nurture generosity within their donor journey.
- Pushpay’s Giving is designed to make giving simple and intuitive, ready whenever a person feels inspired to be generous—and, as opposed to Vanco, our app doesn’t require logging in to make a donation.
- On average, churches that make full use of Pushpay’s giving solution see a 12% increase in donations and a 24% boost in recurring givers. What’s more, churches using both our ChMS and Giving Solutions see an average increase twenty-one times larger than their subscription cost.
All The Functionality You Need
Whatever your goals for engagement, growth, fundraising, and discipleship, Pushpay’s suite of digital solutions will help get you there:
- Our Giving solution’s full and intuitive integration with our Church Management System and Custom Apps means that all your digital solutions talk to one another seamlessly.
- Pushpay’s ChMS was built with simplicity and synchronicity front-of-mind, ensuring that engaging your people and managing your ministries is as intuitive and streamlined as possible.
- A fully customizable mobile church app empowers you to drive deeper connection with your congregation, allowing you to easily send notifications or share your content for them to view.

A Personalized Experience
Instead of supplying a generic tool, Pushpay gives you the freedom to create a giving and mobile experience that will truly engage your congregation:
- Offer your congregants and guests a fully customizable mobile app that incorporates your church’s colors, logos, and background imagery.
- Pushpay is the only Church giving platform that offers custom Thank You notes, allowing you to tailor your message to fit your church. Specify what ministry an individual gave to and add a personal note of thanks.
- Our platform allows you to choose between several animations to acknowledge each gift from your congregants, as yet another (adorable!) way to say thank you.
Over 80 Powerful Integrations
Pushpay maintains seamless integrations with more partners than any other church technology provider, including popular solutions like Checkr, Quickbooks, Mailchimp, Resi, PCO, Rock RMS and more.

Pushpay’s Dashboards provide best-in-market insights into your congregations’ engagement:
- Find out what content is resonating most with your app users through metrics tracking notifications, downloads, usage, and overall engagement score.
- Only Pushpay delivers a deeper look into which pieces of your content are receiving the most engagement, and at which times of the day or days of the week your members are most tuned in.
