Pricing and comparison
Ours is free. Here is what the others charge.
No tiers, no fee for each device, no share of your donations, no contract. Because there is nothing on our side to charge for, most of this page is what the other three cost.
- Read from their own pages
- Quoted to a masjid
- Not publicly known
What those mean
Mohid and Masjidal publish their prices. We read them on 4 August 2026.
Masjidal’s feature answers go further than their pricing page: they come from signing in to a live Masjidal account on 5 August 2026 and going through the settings and editors. That is one masjid’s account, so a setting here or there can differ from yours.
MadinaApps publishes none. Their figures come from a written quote given to a masjid and from a call with them on 5 August 2026, so yours can differ. The call was transcribed by software: the three $499 setup fees were spoken, not written, and are worth confirming before you budget around them.
Not publicly known means the supplier does not say. It does not mean they cannot do it.
You buy a card reader once. You pay the card processor its share. Nothing comes to us — the software is AGPL-3.0 and it runs on a computer you own.
Donation kiosks
A tap-to-donate station by the door
Read the monthly line twice. Hardware you buy once. A subscription you pay forever.
| Cost | OpenMasjid Kiosk Free | Mohid | Masjidal | MadinaApps Quoted — figures from a quote given to a masjid rather than published prices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Software licence | $0 — AGPL-3.0, free forever | Included with a MOHID Cloud plan | Kiosks are listed on the Ultimate plan | Not priced separately in the quote |
| Platform subscription What you pay every month before a single donation comes in. | $0 | From $99/mo billed annually, or $109/mo monthly (Basic) | $90/mo billed annually, or $99/mo monthly (Ultimate — the tier that includes donations) | Not publicly known |
| Per-kiosk monthly fee | $0 | $25/mo per kiosk on fixed rates — no monthly device fee if donors cover the fees | Not publicly known | $29/mo per kiosk, for server and support — flat, the same per kiosk whether you run one or twenty |
| Hardware, one-off Ours is the only column where the hardware is optional — the software runs on a tablet you already own. | An Android tablet you already have, plus a Stripe Reader M2 at $59. Or our own 15.6in kiosk at $599 when it goes on sale — mounting hardware, power adapter and PoE injector in the box | $999 for the MOHID Kiosk. Card reader $250 | $799.99 for the kiosk | Setup fee by screen size: $499 for 10.5in, $699 for 15.6in, $799 for 21.5in |
| Shipping | Nothing to ship | Not publicly known | Not publicly known | About $59 per device. A wall mount is in the box; a floor stand is $59 more |
| Card processing Every option here runs on a card processor. The question is who takes a cut on top — and for two of these four, nobody does. | Stripe’s own rate, paid straight to Stripe from the masjid’s account — 2.7% + 5¢ card-present, or the nonprofit rate if the masjid qualifies. We take nothing on top and never touch the money. | Donor-pay 3.32% + $0.32; or fixed rates 2.55% + $0.30 on Visa/Mastercard/Discover and 3.50% + $0.30 on Amex; eCheck $0.29 or $0.20 | “Payment processing fees are charged by Stripe. Your organization might qualify for lower processing fees.” No rate publicly known | 2.2% + 5¢ at the kiosk. They say that is the gateway’s own rate on the masjid’s own Stripe account, and that they add nothing to it |
| Contract | None. It is your machine and your Stripe account. | Not publicly known | “No sign-up fees. No contracts.” | Month to month by default, cancel any time. A fixed term is offered at a lower price, with a cancellation fee for leaving early |

Three ways to have one
None is a subscription. Two work today.
Where these figures come from
Already bought one? Keep the hardware, drop the bill.
Your masjid may already pay for a kiosk. You do not have to throw the tablet away to stop those payments. In most cases our software installs onto the hardware you own.
| Hardware you already have | What is involved | Extra to buy | Monthly after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohid MOHID Kiosk | Flash OpenMasjid Kiosk onto the tablet, then add a Stripe Reader M2 — the built-in reader will not work with us. | $59 for the reader | $0 |
| Masjidal Masjidal donation kiosk | Flash OpenMasjid Kiosk onto the tablet. Their reader is a Stripe Reader M2, which is the one we drive — so nothing to buy. | $0 | $0 |
| MadinaApps MadinaApps donation kiosk | Flash OpenMasjid Kiosk onto the tablet. Their reader is a Stripe Reader M2, which is the one we drive — so nothing to buy. | $0 | $0 |
The one exception is Mohid
Its own card reader does not work with our software. You must add a Stripe Reader M2. That costs $59 at Stripe’s list price, one time. Masjidal and MadinaApps hardware needs nothing more. You install our software, and that is all.
Reported by the OpenMasjid team rather than published as a tested compatibility list — vendors change hardware. Ask in Discord with the model you have and somebody will tell you straight whether it works.
Online donations
Your donation website, and what comes off each gift
Two of these four take nothing on top of the card processor. Where they differ is the monthly bill.
| Cost | OpenMasjid Donations Free | Mohid | Masjidal Programs & Registration | MadinaApps Quoted — figures from a quote given to a masjid rather than published prices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Software licence | $0 — AGPL-3.0, free forever | Donation Management is included with a MOHID Cloud plan | Donations are on the Ultimate plan | Not priced separately in the quote |
| Platform subscription | $0 | From $99/mo billed annually, or $109/mo monthly (Basic) | $90/mo billed annually, or $99/mo monthly (Ultimate) | Not publicly known |
| Website to put it on | $0 — the app serves your own branded donation pages | Website widgets are included in every plan; a built site is $999 one-off plus $30/mo support | A masjid website is listed as a product | From $499 to build, then $25/mo. The final figure depends on what the masjid wants on it |
| The vendor’s cut of each donation Not the processing fee — the slice the supplier keeps on top of it. Two of these four keep nothing. | $0 — nothing on top of Stripe, ever | Donor-pay 3.32% + $0.32; or fixed rates 2.55% + $0.30 on Visa/Mastercard/Discover and 3.50% + $0.30 on Amex. Mohid do not use Stripe, so these are their own rates covering processing and their share together — the split is not published, and their table does not separate online from kiosk | Not publicly known — their page says only that “payment processing fees are charged by Stripe” | $0 — they say the percentage is the gateway’s own rate and that they take nothing out of it |
| Card processing | 2.2% + 30¢ on Stripe’s nonprofit rate, which a registered masjid usually qualifies for — 2.9% + 30¢ otherwise. Paid straight to Stripe from your own account; we take nothing on top | Included in the rates above | Stripe’s rates — the amounts are not publicly known | 2.2% + 30¢, on the masjid’s own Stripe account |

One more thing worth knowing
Your masjid probably qualifies for Stripe’s cheaper nonprofit rate
Masjids are usually registered nonprofits, and Stripe charges those less. Ask for it.
Stripe charges an eligible nonprofit that rate online, in place of its standard 2.9% + 30¢. We must be clear about one thing: Stripe does not publish this figure. You apply, and Stripe then confirms the rate for your account. Use this number to start that conversation. It is not a quote.
- Who qualifies Registered nonprofits in an eligible region, where at least 80% of Stripe volume is tax-deductible donations.
- What is excluded Tuition, membership fees, tickets, registrations and auctions do not count toward that 80%, and bill at the standard rate.
- At a kiosk, check first Stripe’s in-person rate is 2.7% + 5¢. The two cross at $50, so below that a card-present gift is cheaper on the standard rate.

Try it before you cancel anything
Install it on a spare computer. Put a tablet in front of it. Then see if it does what you pay for now. The test costs you nothing.
