Comparison
Almoner vs Tithe.ly
These two do different jobs. Tithe.ly is a giving platform: it collects gifts online. Almoner is a reporting tool: it takes the records of gifts already received and makes the board packet and the year-end statements. Many churches would use both.

Who should pick which
Pick Tithe.ly if…
You need to collect gifts online — a giving page, text-to-give, recurring gifts — and you want one platform that handles the collection. Almoner does none of that.
Pick Almoner if…
You already collect (through Tithe.ly, the bank, or the plate) and what you lack is the reporting: a monthly report the board reads, a fund breakdown, and a January where every donor's statement is right. Almoner reads the export you already have. If you collect with Tithe.ly, keep it and add Almoner for the books.
