3 reasons nonprofits choose Givebutter over Funraise

Raise more

Both Givebutter and Funraise offer high-quality donor engagement tools, built-in CRM, and flexible payment processing. However, Funraise lacks some must-have features such as nonprofit auctions, which makes Givebutter a truly all-in-one solution.

Pay less

Givebutter provides free access to all of its features and is committed to 100% transparency. Funraise, on the other hand, does not publicly list any of its cost. Nonprofits interested in accessing Funraise's full range of features must contact sales and set up a custom pricing plan.

Give better

In terms of support, both Givebutter and Funraise provide excellent service. But the numbers don’t lie: Givebutter outranks Funraise when it comes to customer service, ease of use, and ease of setup.

How do Funraise features stack up against Givebutter?

Funraise reviews praise the platform's fundraising features, but the cost of these features is hidden behind a paywall. Additionally, some features aren’t available in the free plan, which might leave customers wondering how much full access might really cost them.

‍

With Givebutter, nonprofits can find all the same Funraise features they know and love, plus nonprofit auction software and even more donor engagement tools—all for free.

Hear from real nonprofits what makes Givebutter better

We needed a streamlined platform to hold a virtual auction and sell tickets for a hybrid (livestreamed and in-person) annual fundraising event. Givebutter had both and was incredibly easy to learn how to use, especially given that it is essentially free to use. Other platforms we've used in the past have cost upwards of $2,000 and had clunky functionality and user experience.
