Pay less
Both platforms enables donors to cover payment processing fees, but the Flipcause fee is more than double what you'll see on Givebutter. Between this cost and Flipcause's mandatory annual fee, you and your donors will end up paying more for fewer features.

How is Givebutter free?
Givebutter’s core fundraising features are free thanks to optional tips we receive from donors. If you prefer to disable tips, a small platform fee applies instead. Givebutter Plus offers an additional suite of advanced features starting at $29/month.
Give better
Flipcause and Givebutter both offer top-tier support, but Givebutter’s live chat means you can speak to the support team without ever leaving the page. Dive into Givebutter’s fully-stocked resource hub and daily live workshops for even more ways to learn, get support, and make an impact with your fundraising efforts.

We just started using Givebutter, and what a relief. It's so much easier, more user-friendly, and has far better customer service than any other platform. The campaigns are simple to set up and manage. If I have any challenges, I click on the little chat box and a live human responds within minutes and walks me through it.
