Different lanes: Pushpay runs digital giving and church management; AskMyChurch answers congregants on your website. Most churches keep both.
AskMyChurch and Pushpay don't compete for the same job, so "versus" is mostly the wrong word. Pushpay runs digital giving and church management for thousands of churches, with AI built for staff; AskMyChurch is the assistant on your public website that answers your congregation's questions from your own content — and a church that runs Pushpay would keep it and add AskMyChurch beside it.
Here's the honest breakdown, with every Pushpay claim checked against Pushpay's own site as of this writing.
Pushpay is a giving and church-management platform: digital giving (including QuickGive and its Everygift declined-gift recovery), church management software, a member app, analytics, and live streaming through Resi. Its site says it's trusted by 14,000+ churches, including 7 of the 10 largest churches in the U.S. That's the back office and the giving rail.
AskMyChurch does one thing: it sits on your church's website and answers the questions people actually type at 11pm — service times, what you believe, where to park with a stroller, what the pastor said about grief. It answers only from your own website and sermons, cites the sermon down to the minute (the Canon layer), and when it doesn't know, it says so and hands the person to a real human. It never invents an answer. We call it the front door of your church, always open.
This is the real dividing line. Pushpay's AI suite — AI for People Search, AI for Giving Data, Studio AI, and Genny, its 24/7 software assistant — is built for staff and ministry leaders, per Pushpay's own launch post. Staff ask "who gave last Easter but not this year?" and get a list. Genny answers ministry leaders' technical questions about Pushpay itself.
As of this writing, we did not find a congregant-facing assistant on Pushpay's site that answers a visitor's questions from the church's own website and sermons. That's not a knock — it isn't the job Pushpay built for. It's the job AskMyChurch was built for.
What AskMyChurch does in that lane:
Credit where it's due: Pushpay is a serious, proven platform for generosity at scale. If you need enterprise-grade digital giving, donor recovery (its site claims $210M in at-risk donations secured annually through Everygift), church management, and a branded member app under one vendor, Pushpay is one of the strongest options in the market — and the largest churches in the country vouch for it with their own operations. AskMyChurch does none of that. No giving, no ChMS, no member app.
Pushpay doesn't publish prices. As of this writing, its pricing page directs you to a free demo with its team for pricing options — normal for enterprise church software, but it means a sales conversation before you see a number.
AskMyChurch publishes flat monthly pricing by weekend attendance: $99 for churches under 500, $249 for 500–2,000, $500 for 2,000+ or multi-campus. Every plan has a 30-day free trial and a money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime.
If your church is in Atlanta (84 built), Nashville (79), Charlotte (63), Columbia SC (60), Charleston (53), or Knoxville (38), we may have already built yours — those are working previews awaiting the church's claim at askmy.church.
No. Pushpay handles digital giving, donor recovery, church management software, and member apps; AskMyChurch does none of those. It answers congregants' questions on the church website from the church's own website and sermons, so churches that give through Pushpay keep it and add AskMyChurch beside it.
As of this writing, the AI Pushpay describes on its own site — AI for People Search, AI for Giving Data, Studio AI, and its Genny support assistant — is built for church staff and ministry leaders. We did not find a congregant-facing assistant that answers a visitor's questions from the church's own website and sermons.
Pushpay doesn't publish prices; as of this writing its pricing page directs you to a sales demo for a quote. AskMyChurch publishes flat monthly pricing by weekend attendance: $99 for under 500, $249 for 500–2,000, $500 for 2,000+ or multi-campus, with a 30-day free trial, a money-back guarantee, and cancel anytime.
It answers only from the church's own website and sermons, cites sermon answers down to the minute, and hands off to a real person when it doesn't know instead of guessing. Crisis messages are routed to 988 and the Crisis Text Line, in English and Spanish, before any AI responds.
