  Tithe.ly's platform pricing is split between per-transaction processing fees
  (which apply to giving regardless of subscription) and monthly software
  subscriptions for the broader suite (church management, apps, sites, events,
  messaging). Online giving itself has a free-forever plan with no monthly fee.
  The developer API is not sold as a separate metered product - it is access-gated
  and granted by request to organizations that use (or are moving to) Tithe.ly,
  with public/private keys issued on approval. There is no published per-call API
  price; the money movement is priced through the standard giving transaction
  fees below.
notes: >-
  Fees below reflect publicly reported Tithe.ly pricing as of the review date and
  should be reconciled against get.tithe.ly/pricing. Card fee ~2.9% + $0.30, ACH
  ~1% + $0.30, American Express ~3.5% + $0.30. Donors can opt to cover fees (about
  60% do, per Tithe.ly), which offsets the church's cost. Software subscription
  prices vary by bundle and are subject to change.
