Donarius review
A low-cost desktop option with strong receipt, reporting, and donation-import coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Donarius is desktop church and donor management software for churches, charities, and ministries. It tracks donors, donations, categories, pledges, and relationships while producing tax receipts, donation reports, and quarterly statements. Its audience is organizations that want a focused giving system installed on Windows or macOS, with support for one-time and recurring gifts through online donation pages and external-provider imports.
The published pricing shows a $63.97 one-time charge for the Base version. That tier covers donor and donation tracking, yearly or per-donation tax receipts, reports, and data import and export. The Optional module costs $16.50 one time and adds pledge tracking, pre-authorized deposits and online donations, customized receipts, personalized communications, family relationships, and a photo directory. A 30-day free trial is available, while online donation processing through NuverbPay has separate transaction fees.
Donarius has a broad giving ecosystem for a desktop product, with integrations or imports involving NuverbPay, PayPal, FortisPay, Vanco, WeShare, Moonclerk, Givelify, Bambora, Tithe.ly, Txt2Give, Clover, Parish Giving, Kindrid Giving, Stewardship Technology, and Stripe. NuverbPay supports credit-card and ACH/EFT donations, including one-time and recurring payments, through customizable donation pages. Choose Donarius if a low one-time price, receipt generation, reporting, and provider connectivity matter more than mobile-native access. Organizations requiring broader platform coverage or pledge tools in the base tier should consider alternatives.
