Fundraise Up reviews praise the platform’s usability and features, but it just doesn’t stack up to the full range of what Givebutter has to offer. For example, Fundraise Up doesn’t include auctions, event management features, or many of the flexible payment options that Givebutter users enjoy.


Free forever thanks to optional donor tips

Fundraise Up's pricing page states that their costs are determined by a per-transaction model. Nonprofits processing less than $300K each year in online donations will see a 4% fee per transaction, in addition to payment processing fees. For organizations with a higher donation volume, a custom quote is required. Givebutter, on the other hand, has no platform or processing fees when you enable optional donor tips—your nonprofit pays $0 thanks to the Givebutter Guarantee.

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.

Both Fundraise Up and Givebutter have highly praised and award-winning customer support teams. Users appreciate their helpful and prompt responses, as well as their hands-on approach to customer service. What sets Givebutter apart is its additional support channel through email and live expert webinars—which are designed to help users improve their fundraising efforts and raise more for their mission.
