Givebutter is free to use: with optional donor tips turned on, nonprofits pay no platform fee, and Givebutter says it covers any processing fees donors don't. Turn tips off and a flat 3% platform fee plus 2.9% + 30¢ card processing applies. Its donor CRM is free; Givebutter Plus starts at $29 a month.

Platform fee	$0 when optional donor tips are on. With tips turned off, a flat 3% platform fee applies.1
Card processing	2.9% + 30¢ for cards and 1.9% + 30¢ for ACH when tips are off; with tips on, donors are asked to cover processing and Givebutter says it covers any they don't (the 'Givebutter Guarantee').1

The catch

Free depends on donors seeing a tip prompt. Turn tips off and you pay 3% plus processing.1

Our take Editorial

Best for small teams that want giving pages, events and a free CRM in one place.

Givebutter is also in our CRM profiles. See the Givebutter profile for exports, imports, QuickBooks and migration offers.
