While Donorbox offers a wide variety of quality features, they don’t provide auction software, mobile ticket scanning, or the kind of automated donor communication that nonprofits can access with Givebutter. For organizations that want all of their fundraising tools synced together in one place, including silent auctions, Givebutter is the best choice.

To access all of the popular features many nonprofits look for in fundraising software (and which Givebutter provides free), Donorbox fees include monthly subscriptions, platform fees, and other add-on costs. The Donorbox cost also includes payment processing fees, which Givebutter’s secure payment server charges as well, but both platforms give donors the option of covering these fees.

How is Givebutter free?

While Donorbox reviews rank the donation platform highly for ease of setup and ease of use, its numbers for quality of support just don’t stack up. Givebutter’s customer service is not only highly rated—it’s free, too. Donorbox users (free or paid) don’t have access to live chat support and have to pay for live training and workshops.
