Givebutter is an all-in-one fundraising platform that lets users raise funds, host events and auctions, track donor data, and send messages to donors for free.
No hidden fees or monthly payments required.
Donorbox is a good option for international organizations looking for a way to accept donations on their website, as it supports 11 languages and several different currencies.
However, Donorbox charges additional fees and monthly costs for popular features many nonprofit organizations look for in a fundraising platform.
Givebutter is free thanks to optional donor tips.
The fee charged by our secure payment processors is 2.9% + 30¢ except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. Donors can choose to cover these fees (which 95% do!).
If you'd prefer to disable tips, a platform fee applies instead:
→ 1% for Donation Forms
→ 3% for Fundraising Pages
→ 5% for Events & Auctions
Donorbox charges a platform fee of 1.5–2.95% per transaction, depending on the campaign type and features used.
Most of Donorbox’s payment processing fees range from 2.2–2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, plus an 0.8% bank transfer fee. If donors choose to pay through PayPal or Venmo, the payment processing fee is 1.99% + 49¢ per transaction. Donors can opt-in to cover platform and payment processing fees.
Custom pricing is available through Donorbox Premium for organizations who want access to more fundraising features, third-party integrations, custom branding, data tracking, and priority support for an additional monthly cost.

Givebutter is ranked as the #1 software for fundraising, donor management, and auctions on G2, the largest independent software review site.



After using a combined solution of PayPal, Stripe, and DonorBox over the last 15 years, we began migrating our donors to Givebutter in 2019. The difference has been noticeable and beneficial. Givebutter has streamlined our interactions with donors, decreased our workload in processing and transferring donations, and decreased our costs.
