Givebutter vs OneCause

Givebutter is an all-in-one fundraising platform that organizations of all sizes use to raise funds, host events and auctions, manage donations, and message donors. 

All of Givebutter’s features are free to use thanks to our transparent tip-or-fee pricing model.

OneCause was one of the first fundraising platforms to offer online auctions and mobile bidding, making it a popular option for organizations looking to host auctions alongside other fundraising campaigns. 

That being said, the cost to use OneCause’s fundraising features can add up quickly.

OneCause offers five different paid plans, with varying pricing tiers for each, that come with different features, integrations, and levels of support:

→ Auctions & Events: 4 tiers

→ Streaming Events: 1 tier

→ Peer-To-Peer: 3 tiers

→ Online Fundraising: 3 tiers

→ Text2Give: 1 tier

Each plan requires a 12-month paid subscription.

OneCause does not list the platform and transaction fees associated with each plan. However, they mention elsewhere on their site that users may be charged up to 5% in convenience fees and up to 4.35% + $0.35 in transaction fees per transaction. Donors can choose to cover transaction fees.
