Instead of layering tools onto a separate CRM, nonprofits can manage donors, campaigns, and engagement inside Givebutter from day one.

There’s no required subscription with Fundraise Up, but fees apply to every gift. Givebutter gives nonprofits a way to eliminate platform and processing costs entirely.

Purpose-built for nonprofits, Givebutter continuously launches innovative product updates inspired directly by changemakers. In contrast, Fundraise Up primarily centers on optimizing online giving experiences.
Fundraise Up centers on high-converting online donation checkouts embedded on your site. Givebutter goes beyond forms with built-in events, auctions, and a native CRM—so nonprofits can manage fundraising and donor data in a single platform.
Free forever thanks to optional donor tips
Fundraise Up costs include a 4% platform fee plus payment processing fees. Donors can choose to cover these costs, but nonprofits absorb any fees they don’t cover. With Givebutter, nonprofits keep 100% of the funds they raise when optional donor tips are enabled—even when donors don’t cover processing fees.

How is Givebutter free?
Thanks to optional donor tips, Givebutter’s core fundraising features are free for all nonprofits. When tips are enabled, you pay $0—backed by the Givebutter Guarantee. Prefer to hide tips? Disable them and pay a flat 3% platform fee plus standard processing fees. For more advanced tools, Givebutter Plus starts at $29/month.
While Fundraise Up support earns strong praise, Givebutter has thousands more reviews—and was named G2’s #1 Nonprofit Software of 2026.
