Funraise reviews praise the platform's fundraising features, but the cost of these features is hidden behind a paywall, leaving customers wondering how much full access might really cost them.
With Givebutter, nonprofits can find all the same Funraise features they know and love—plus nonprofit auction software and even more donor engagement tools—in a 100% transparent pricing model.

Funraise offers a free plan with limited features and a maximum of 1,000 contacts, but doesn’t publicly disclose its pricing. Donors can cover processing fees, but advanced tools often come at an added cost.
In contrast, Givebutter gives you access to all of its core fundraising features for free when you enable optional donor tips. Your nonprofit pays $0 thanks to the Givebutter Guarantee, which covers any fees donors don't opt to pay. If you toggle tips off, a flat 3% platform fee applies plus standard processing, which you can choose to pass on to donors, make optional, or cover yourself.

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.

Funraise reviews speak highly of the platform’s many user-friendly features and responsive customer service. That said, Givebutter is still the #1 rated fundraising platform and has received an astounding 50 times more reviews compared to Funraise on G2—the most popular software review site.
