Givebutter is completely free thanks to 100% optional tips received from donors. If you'd prefer to hide tips, an industry-low Platform Fee applies instead based on the campaign type you’re using (1% for donation form, 3% for fundraising pages, and 5% for events). No matter which option you choose, all transactions include standard Processing Fees of 2.9% + 30¢ for all payment methods except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. These fees are charged by payment processors and allow funds to be deposited into your account regardless of what payment method your donors choose. More than 95% of donors on Givebutter cover fees when asked, resulting in an average campaign fee of less than 1%.

Likelihood to Recommend	Givebutter The site has built-in flexibility for fundraising shops of all sizes to use it for various needs - we used it for a special event but it could also be used to handle a Day of Giving campaign. We liked that donors could use the built-in social/email features to advertise their support to gain additional donations Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Givelify No answers on this topic

Cons	Givebutter Link to payment sources/systems (we had to do this multiple times before it worked) Integration with larger donor management software systems (i.e. Blackbaud) Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Givelify No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Givebutter Givebutter provides more flexibility in designing your campaign or event on the site ...others are more suited for only a Gala or auction and Race Roster was more than we needed and was confusing to our guests Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Givelify No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Givebutter Best registration tool we have used for the NUN Run event Allowed registrants to cover the fees reducing our overall event expenses Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Givelify No answers on this topic
