Nonprofit fundraising tools: fees & pricing
We compare 9 online giving platforms, from free tools like Zeffy, Givebutter and Give Lively to percentage-fee tools like Donorbox and Funraise and quote-only platforms like GoFundMe Pro. Each fee comes from the vendor's own pricing page with the date we checked it. Most also work alongside a separate donor CRM.
