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.”

Quick answer
MyMasjid is a congregation app centered on prayer times and announcements, with demo-gated access and no published pricing. Givebear concentrates on collecting gifts: lobby donation kiosks for Jumu'ah, online giving, Zakat fund separation, event ticketing, and a developer API. Givebear also displays prayer times on its kiosk and a website widget, though it is not a congregation app, so a mosque can run both.
Key takeaways
- The MyMasjid name covers at least four unrelated products, including a free prayer timetable site, so confirm which one you are evaluating.
- Givebear has event ticketing and an API; MyMasjid has neither.
- Both separate Zakat from other funds.
Who this is for: Mosques comparing apps and donation platforms; Mosque treasurers and board members who keep zakat, sadaqah, and building funds apart and plan around Jumu'ah and Ramadan, weighing MyMasjid against Givebear
MyMasjid is a mosque application. In the comparison below, the gap is event ticketing and modern developer API: Givebear includes them and MyMasjid does not.
Where MyMasjid is the better choice
MyMasjid fits mosques that mainly want a congregation app for prayer times and announcements.
Where Givebear is different
Givebear fits mosques that collect at Jumu'ah volume: lobby kiosks that take taps as a queue moves past, an online giving page, Zakat funds, and event ticketing.
Compared with MyMasjid, 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 tap-to-donate kiosk hardware quality, online donation conversion rates, Zakat and Sadaqah fund reporting, mobile checkout experience, and admin simplicity. 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 MyMasjid.
How do you switch from MyMasjid to Givebear?
A mosque can keep its community app for announcements and move only giving to Givebear, which also shows prayer times on the kiosk and a website widget.
Givebear imports contacts and past gifts from a CSV, so the MyMasjid export is the first step. Create your funds in Givebear before importing the MyMasjid file, since fund names in it do not create funds on their own. Saved cards move only if MyMasjid 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 MyMasjid: website buttons, email footers, printed QR codes, and event pages. Repoint the ones you control; a printed code that sends donors to MyMasjid keeps working only as long as MyMasjid keeps that page up.
Practical use cases
- Choose Givebear if you need event ticketing, which MyMasjid does not offer.
- Choose Givebear if you need modern developer API, which MyMasjid does not offer.
- Keep MyMasjid for online giving and add a Givebear kiosk for walk-up gifts, then decide after a season of both.
