I think our scenario is a good one for Qgiv as long as you don't expect the world. I learned a great deal about the challenges of integration, like that this tech is very literal and requires precise matching or it won't work. As a tool of its own, it's really strong. If you are looking for a real-time giving thermometer, this still isn't your best bet - they have updated it to where it will refresh every minute, but if you are doing in-the-moment text-to-pledge during your Fund a Need at an event, it's not set up (yet) to do that
FundraiseUp is best utilized in arenas where the non-profit has some room for growth/expansion and/or the market is medium/large (100,000+ city). Small audience organizations might see some improvement but in my estimation won't see the ROI from the 5% (or more) charge per donation. Both well-established orgs and growing ministries can benefit from this platform. Another great reason to go with FRU is the incredibly easy user-interface for both the donor and the admin. The AI features built into the form provide incredible LIVE adjustments to optimize conversions and monthly giving. It is worth the extra cost (per donation) if you're community is large enough
Events - It is easy to create simple events and manage them from Qgiv - there is a lot of flexibility in managing membership, tickets, special fields on the form, and managing receipts - very intuitive.
Donation forms - Qgiv's form builder for an online donation page is very easy to use and easily manipulated. We manage over $5,000 a year in donations via Qgiv. Not a ton compared to our full budget, but Qgiv does what our other donation processing software can not.
Customer Service - Qgiv's customer service is AMAZING. They answer my questions promptly and really make me feel like I'm valued as a customer.
For both donors and admin, Fundraise Up is the best donation platform (gateway) that I have ever used. It is optimized throughout the experience to be incredibly easy and unmatched in how robust it is. The many options Fundraise Up provides from sticky buttons, to pop-ups, to full landing pages is diverse and serves any need an org might have.
Customer support is amazing - they're very prompt, thoughtful in their response, and are clearly trying to help you problem solve, not just find a quick fix.
Qgiv is by far a better product. No hidden fees and the team of developers continue to make updates that are relevant to keeping the software competitive and user-friendly. Also, customer service is a 10 out of 10 when it comes to troubleshooting different software scenarios. Finally, the ability to export and import is a basic and awesome necessity.
Fundraise Up understands their lane and they absolutely nail it! They have worked hard to be the very best in their niche and have gone above and beyond to integrate with other solutions for a streamlined approach to data management. I have not experienced a better solution in my almost 20 years of nonprofit marketing.
