Revenue model

1. Church Software Subscriptions (ChurchStaq / ParishStaq): Pushpay generates the majority of its revenue through recurring SaaS subscriptions for its unified church management and giving platform. Churches pay subscription fees for access to ChurchStaq (all-in-one giving, ChMS, and engagement) or ParishStaq (for Catholic parishes and dioceses). Subscription tiers are quote-based and tailored to church size and feature needs. The platform supports land-and-expand dynamics as churches add users, campuses, or modules.
2. Payment Processing / Transaction Fees: Pushpay earns transaction fees on digital donations and payments processed through its platform. As a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor owning its giving infrastructure, Pushpay collects processing fees on each transaction. Churches can enable the Donor Covers Fees option where donors voluntarily contribute to cover processing costs. Additional payment methods (stock, crypto via Engiven integration) may generate ancillary transaction revenue.
3. Resi Video Streaming (Subsidiary): Resi Media, a Pushpay subsidiary acquired in August 2021, provides reliable live streaming and on-demand video solutions for churches. Resi generates subscription revenue for its streaming platform, which is integrated into the Pushpay ecosystem and marketed as part of the product suite.
4. Nurture Pastoral Care (Subsidiary): Nurture.io, acquired by Pushpay in April 2026, provides pastoral care and engagement intelligence software. It generates subscription revenue as a standalone product now accessible directly from the Pushpay dashboard for shared customers, representing a new revenue stream from pastoral care intelligence.

Direct peers

• Tithe.ly: Digital giving platform focused exclusively on churches with mobile-first giving, text-to-give, and recurring donations. Comparable because it overlaps Pushpay's core giving product with similar payment-processing economics for SMB and mid-market churches.
• Planning Center: Church management software suite (ChMS) with serving, groups, check-in, and registrants modules used by tens of thousands of churches. Comparable because it overlaps Pushpay's ChMS layer and is increasingly seen as the gold-standard specialty tool in mid-size Protestant churches.
• Subsplash: All-in-one church engagement platform bundling giving, apps, streaming, and communication tools for churches. Comparable because it competes head-to-head with ChurchStaq on the integrated platform thesis and shares the same PLG-style SMB to enterprise motion.
• Breeze ChMS: Web-based ChMS targeting small and mid-size churches with member management, giving, events, and check-in. Comparable as a Pushpay competitor for the long tail of small-to-mid Protestant congregations seeking a simpler, lower-cost ChMS-first alternative.
• ChurchTrac: Affordable ChMS for small churches offering member tracking, giving, events, and check-in with transparent flat pricing. Comparable as a direct pushpay competitor targeting the small-church segment with a simpler and lower-cost offering.
• Resi Media (Pushpay subsidiary) peers: BoxCast: Live video streaming platform purpose-built for houses of worship with hardware encoders and cloud distribution. Comparable as a direct Resi competitor focused on church production teams needing reliable streaming.

Broad incumbents

• Ministry Brands: Roll-up of multiple church software brands (Fellowship One, Pushpay competitor, IconCMO, Realm, etc.) serving thousands of churches across ChMS, giving, websites, and background checks. Comparable as a broad incumbent with multiple product lines and overlapping customers, though no single bundled platform matches ChurchStaq.
• ACS Technologies: Long-standing faith-based software vendor offering church management (ACS), giving (Realm), and Catholic/Parish products. Comparable as an established incumbent in church software with particular strength in Methodist/denominational and Catholic parish workflows that overlap with Pushpay's ParishStaq.

Emerging players

• Rock RMS: Open-source church management system built on .NET with extensibility for giving, groups, and workflows. Comparable because Pushpay partnered with 9 Embers to launch Agent 9 on top of Rock, signaling Rock as both a partner and an emerging ChMS competitor for technical congregations.

Others

• Engiven: Stock and cryptocurrency donation platform integrated with Pushpay. Comparable as an adjacent/ecosystem participant operating in the same religious fundraising workflow but as a specialist giving-type extension rather than a competing platform.
