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 platforms offer multiple customer support options, but Virtuous reviews highlight how Givebutter earns higher ratings for ease of use, setup, and overall support quality.
