GoFundMe’s main platform is built for quick, one-time fundraisers and doesn’t include donor management or event tools. GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) adds those capabilities, but pricing isn’t listed publicly. Givebutter offers an all-in-one solution—fundraising, CRM, and engagement tools—free from day one.

GoFundMe’s main platform is free to start but relies on donor tips and standard processing fees; organizers can’t disable tipping or let donors cover fees. GoFundMe Pro offers more flexibility but only through custom-priced plans. Givebutter combines both—transparent pricing and full control over fees.

How is Givebutter free?
Thanks to optional donor tips, Givebutter’s core fundraising features are free for all nonprofits. When tips are enabled, you pay $0—backed by the Givebutter Guarantee. Prefer to hide tips? Disable them and pay a flat 3% platform fee plus standard processing fees. For more advanced tools, Givebutter Plus starts at $29/month.

GoFundMe’s main platform offers self-serve resources, while GoFundMe Pro provides dedicated account management for nonprofits. Givebutter earns higher customer satisfaction ratings on G2 for its responsive support, live trainings, and educational resources.
