The folks at Altar Live have been responsive and super helpful. They have been a delight to work with.

Our online broadcast was primarily on Facebook and it was so limiting - some people aren't on Facebook, those that are on are hesitant to comment for the entire world to see.

Many of our users have had trouble logging onto the platform.

At first I wasn't sure how this would feel, but have found this feature to be a beautiful way to build community across distance and time.

I find the team supportive and helpful and responsive, and I really like what they have developed.

I love all the features of Altar Live. Especially the ability to have organized break-out rooms and the ability to assign hosts to those tables prior to meeting.

I like the virtual performance center look and feel. I also like the tables and rooms.

I haven't used this long enough to find the things that frustrate me.

Awesome people, responsive, and I am keeping my eye on them to eventually switch over when viable for us.

We have found it to be a flexible and intuitive tool for discipling people, empowering small group leaders, facilitating conversation, and enjoying real interaction.

Overall is experience good. During technical difficulties we had people step in and assist even on the weekends.

The emphasis on community interaction is great. Setting up meeting rooms that we can gather in at anytime is a great addition.

Difficult to use and a lot of people ended up tuning off, running a zoom.

The responsive developers at Altar Live have created a product that makes it possible for us to engage our remote participants in real community.

We have stayed with it, as we want to support this type of platform as we see its value longterm. The Altar Live staff have been very supportive, quick to respond.

For example - we make a chat for all of our greeters and if I miss someone, we have to make a new chat but I can’t delete the old chat.

The features of Altar Live are very intuitive and are not difficult to train or teach. Our church volunteers love the training guides and tutorials that accompany the product.

The AltarLive team provides personalized and caring service. They are innovative and responsive to feedback.

Overall, we've liked our experience thus far with Altar Live. It has allowed us to produce a good quality livestream while maintaining some semblance of interactivity in worship.

Initially I found some of the constraints (four people in a row, for instance) to be an irritating challenge.

Has trouble working with Touch ID. Not everything is available in the app so it redirects to website.

I spoke with a sales rep several times before switching over and since I've made the change to Tithely I have called customer service 2 or 3 times and always got quick, helpful instructions.

The way the deposits are done in accounting software can be a confusing.

It has a decent range of features for the price and was pretty easy to walk a relatively tech-newbie crowd through using.

It's easy to use and especially helpful in situations where people can't get out and about. In times like this, that's a big help.

Have been using for church for past month, but received no bank deposits. This is in part to incorrect account # at front end, but after being corrected, still no deposits.

We quickly had a good adoption rate. It totally integrates with our CMS so it allows for a supper efficient way to record giving.

We’ve loved using Tithe.ly for over 2 years and the whole team is so helpful and friendly.

They are super friendly and very easy to work with. Getting setup to accept donations through Tithely was easy.

We've even used the BETA Event Registration software and it's great. Unbeatable price, simple platform, it's just the way to go.

In 48 years of working in church related institutions as a Business Executive, I have never experienced a worse customer service on every level.

Worrying bout envelopes and passing a basket is no longer a hassle. Givers can can whenever they want.

I feel as though those doing the development planning have NEVER worked in a church before, because of the amount of core functionality missing.

That said, this company has the potential to be the leader in church tech products if they'd just change their culture, quit launching half-baked products, and fix what's wrong with current products.

It has made tracking donations very easy and gives the church the ability to receive money in different ways. It integrates mostly very well with Quickbooks as well.

Tithely has built an amazing suite of tools for the church, at an amazing price: $99/ month.

It just sounded too good to be true. But after researching and talking with their customer service reps I discovered it really is free.

I love that we have a customized app for our church. The push notifications are awesome.

Everything is straightforward. No bells and whistles on this app.

Tithe.ly has been easy to integrate with our existing website. Even our less technologically savvy members have found it easy to use.

What I like most about Tithe.ly giving is the user interface. It's modern, sleek, runs great on desktop and mobile.

It was an unbelievable frustrating surreal experience. I lost all trust and we cancelled the Service.

I have enjoyed the product they are providing. Web based services are very important.

Set up was quick and fairly easy. The roll out included  fairly good instructions and best practices for launching the giving platform.

I like how easily accessible this software is and encouraging ease of use through an app at any given time.

Altar Live combines the best of live streaming and videoconferencing to encourage and facilitate deep engagement. 

Your audience sits together in small groups in pews or rows during the live stream event, discussing among themselves the meaning and impact of the worship and message. After the live stream event completes, people gather at tables in the lobby, freely moving around to catch up with others, sit in private prayer, speak with a pastor or leader about next steps and learn about volunteer opportunities in the church and in the community. 

Stream your event directly to Altar Live, or leverage your existing YouTube and Facebook live streams. The easy wizard-based setup process takes just a minute. You can integrate Altar Live as part of your church website, with your own branding, logo and colors. Greeters can see and interact with each individual attendee, without waiting for them to declare their presence in chat in front of everyone.  Groups create their own private chat to catch up, discuss, pray, and support each other.
