Tithely Groups review
A church-focused group directory and messaging tool with attendance and approvals.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tithely Groups helps churches organize small groups, Bible studies, youth groups, volunteer teams, and other ministry groups. Members can browse a searchable directory, request to join, and communicate through group channels in the Tithely Church App. Leaders can manage rosters, approve members, record attendance, send messages, and set groups as public, closed, or private. Custom group types and meeting details support different ministry structures.
Pricing is organized through Tithely Church Management. The Church Management plan costs $72 per month and includes Groups, a people database, volunteer management, email and text messaging, and attendance and events. The All Access plan costs $119 per month and adds Giving, Church Management, a custom church app, and a custom church website alongside Groups and email and text messaging. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Churches should choose the lower tier when group coordination is the priority and consider All Access when broader church operations and custom digital properties are also needed.
The main ecosystem fit is Tithely's own platform. Groups links membership and attendance records with existing people profiles, giving, check-ins, and events through Tithely Church Management, while the Tithely Custom Church App supports member access to group browsing and joining. That makes it a focused option for churches already using Tithely services. Churches seeking a standalone tool outside the Tithely ecosystem, or teams that only need lightweight group messaging without a monthly church-management commitment, should look elsewhere. Tithely Groups is best suited to congregations that want directories, leader permissions, attendance, and communication in one church-focused setup.
