GiveGab
Raise more
While GiveGab offers the basics—fundraising pages, donation forms, and some flexible giving options—Givebutter’s fundraising event tools and auction software make it an all-in-one fundraising platform.

Pay less
Unlike Givebutter, which offers 100% transparent pricing, GiveGab does not publicly list its costs or indicate which features are included in a specific subscription.

Give better
User reviews praise GiveGab’s customer support, but when it comes down to the actual numbers, Givebutter boasts the highest ratings for both support and ease of use.
Raise more
GiveGab reviews highlight the platform's helpful tools for managing busy giving days like Giving Tuesday. However, when compared to Givebutter, GiveGab lacks several essential features for maximizing year-round fundraising efforts, such as event management and auction software.

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.
Give better
Many users report satisfaction with GiveGab’s hands-on approach to customer service. But when it comes to ease of use and setup, Givebutter consistently outperforms GiveGab in terms of user ratings.
Givebutter also offers more resources than GiveGab to help you fundraise better, including live chat, email support, and educational webinars hosted by experts.

Givebutter makes it easy for us to track our event goals, encourage peer-to-peer fundraising in a very engaging and graphically-pleasing way on the event page, and overall has helped our event be more organized than it has previously been. The auction site is extremely user-friendly and straightforward.

Director of Development and Communications, Chicago Center for Music Education (ChiME)
