One masjid near Chicago made Friday giving easier to capture and easier to report.

“We stopped guessing where donations belonged. Zakat goes to Zakat, the building fund goes to the building fund, and our board sees it all in one report. And the congregation actually gives more because tapping a card after Jumuah is easier than finding cash.”

A masjid near Chicago, Illinois

The full comparison.

Last updated June 2026

MasjidAl's product line centers on athan clocks and in-masjid displays, with basic kiosk and ticketing support. Givebear is a giving platform: lobby donation kiosks, zakat and sadaqah funds, event ticketing, and a developer API. Givebear also shows salah, iqamah, and Jumu'ah times on its kiosk and a website widget, but it does not make athan clocks. A masjid can keep MasjidAl displays on the wall and run donations on Givebear.

Key takeaways

Both platforms keep zakat and sadaqah in separate funds.
Givebear has a developer API; MasjidAl does not.
Before switching, document fundraising displays, campaign links, kiosk placements, and donor exports.

Who this is for: Mosques comparing kiosk and fundraising tools; Mosque treasurers and board members who keep zakat, sadaqah, and building funds apart and plan around Jumu'ah and Ramadan, weighing MasjidAl against Givebear

MasjidAl is mosque donation and fundraising software. In the comparison below, the gap is modern developer API: Givebear includes it and MasjidAl does not.

Where MasjidAl is the better choice

MasjidAl fits mosques whose priority is athan clocks and prayer displays inside the masjid.

Where Givebear is different

Givebear fits mosques whose priority is collecting gifts: lobby kiosks, online giving, campaigns, event ticketing, and receipts, with prayer times shown on the kiosk and a website widget.

Compared with MasjidAl, Givebear's kiosk for the masjid entrance is a 21.5-inch touchscreen with a built-in Stripe card reader, sold once at $999 to $1,099 (wall mount or battery floor stand) with no per-kiosk software subscription.

What to test before you decide

Score both platforms on donation display and campaign needs, kiosk and online giving connection, Zakat, sadaqah, and fund routing, event and campaign pages, and receipt and reporting quality. Use last Ramadan as the test case: set up the same funds and receipt wording in a free Givebear account and check whether it produces the report your board asked for from MasjidAl.

How do you switch from MasjidAl to Givebear?

Document active fundraising displays, campaign links, kiosk placements, donor exports, and fund reporting requirements before switching.

Givebear imports contacts and past gifts from a CSV, so the MasjidAl export is the first step. Create your funds in Givebear before importing the MasjidAl file, since fund names in it do not create funds on their own. Saved cards move only if MasjidAl and Stripe support a transfer; otherwise recurring donors restart their gift on your new page, so announce the change a few weeks ahead.

Before cutover, list every place a donor can reach MasjidAl: website buttons, email footers, printed QR codes, and event pages. Repoint the ones you control; a printed code that sends donors to MasjidAl keeps working only as long as MasjidAl keeps that page up.

Practical use cases

Choose Givebear if you need modern developer API, which MasjidAl does not offer.
Keep MasjidAl for online giving and add a Givebear kiosk for walk-up gifts, then decide after a season of both.

Common questions

Does MasjidAl support donation kiosks?

Partly. The comparison above lists MasjidAl's kiosk support as "basic". Compared with MasjidAl, Givebear's kiosk for the masjid entrance is a 21.5-inch touchscreen with a built-in Stripe card reader, sold once at $999 to $1,099 (wall mount or battery floor stand) with no per-kiosk software subscription.

What is the best MasjidAl alternative?

It depends on what MasjidAl is not doing for you. If you need a walk-up donation kiosk or modern developer API, which MasjidAl lacks, Givebear has those in the same account as online giving.

Can I import my donors from MasjidAl?

Yes. Export contacts and gift history from MasjidAl as a CSV and import both into Givebear. Recurring gifts are separate: saved payment methods transfer only when MasjidAl and Stripe support it, so check that before you set a cutover date.

What does switching from MasjidAl to Givebear cost?

Givebear charges a flat platform fee from 1.9% to 5.9% depending on plan (one rate online, at kiosks, and on memberships), plus Stripe card processing at cost, with no setup fee and no monthly minimum. To compare with MasjidAl, run last year's gifts through both fee schedules and add any per-device or add-on fees each side charges; a Givebear kiosk is optional and only needed for walk-up giving.

Givebear covers donation portal, donation kiosks, campaign pages, event registration, automated receipts, donor records.
