✔ Free tier with every feature
✔ Pricing is easy to understand

GiveCampus does not list pricing online; you need to reach out to them for more information. GiveCampus operates a pricing model that is customized to each organization's needs. This article from the Washington Post mentions that subscriptions may start at around $1,000.
Givebutter clearly lists pricing and per-transaction fees to donors on both its website and on-demand live demos. On Givebutter, over 95% of donors voluntarily cover transaction fees, resulting in an average overall cost to fundraisers of just 0.5% - the lowest in the industry. Usually, Givebutter offers all this for only 4.9% + 30¢ / transaction with no monthly fees. However, now through December 31st, Givebutter is waiving platform fees FOR LIFE! Upgraded Pro and Premium accounts also allow student groups to white label Givebutter technology and add its own custom branding, custom domains, and personalized support.
Givebutter is a self-service fundraising platform. It's completely free to sign up, set up, and start fundraising – all in a matter of minutes. Read the Getting Started Guides here!

GiveCampus is a platform tailored to educational institutions and appears mostly well equipped to meet their needs. However, the platform may fall short on its donor experience. GiveCampus does not offer supporters the ability to customize their donations, like and comment on other contributions, or dedicate a donation. GiveCampus also has limited features for Peer-to-Peer fundraising. Although they offer leaderboards to gamify fundraising, they don’t provide a supporter feed to celebrate donors or the ability to personalize each member’s pages.
Givebutter offers fundraising pages that place a much higher focus on the supporters of a fundraising campaign. You can create a living, breathing campaign experience by allowing supporters to share stories and creative messages of support with Supporter Feeds. Givebutter is fully optimized for team and group fundraising and allows for individual members to join campaigns, customize their pages, and easily receive credit for donations they help bring in.

GiveCampus is primarily a crowdfunding platform for students. Although GiveCampus offers the ability to create custom fields in donation forms, they do not provide custom branding or custom donation amounts. Therefore, the donor may experience GiveCampus branding more than the branding of your group.
Givebutter offers a robust online donation form. Givebutter’s donation form is fully customizable to streamline branding but requires no custom coding. You can easily embed Givebutter’s online donation form right into your website host to boost web traffic. Or, if you want, you can still use Givebutter.com to host your donation form. This same form can be fully customized to meet all your payment processing needs - including Venmo. Givebutter is the only fundraising platform to natively integrate with Venmo, allowing you to collect donor information legally and without violating Venmo's terms of service.

GiveCampus is geared towards short-term fundraising events such as class gifts and project crowdfunding. Besides offering integration for corporate matching, GiveCampus does not appear to provide any other database integrations based on its website that are essential for long-term donor insight and decision making.
Givebutter stores every piece of data you collect across general donations, dues, crowdfunding, Peer-to-Peer, and events in a secure central dashboard so your student group doesn't have to start from scratch every year. Givebutter provides a suite of tools, not on GiveCampus, that are particularly useful for groups, nonprofits, and teams. For example, you can invite and manage roles for unlimited members, receive paper checks in the mail (as well as bank or debit transfers), and integrate with thousands of third-party apps through Zapier such as Mailchimp and Google Sheets.
