GivingFuel provides customers with donation forms, fundraising pages, and basic donor management features. However, it lacks a wide range of payment options and dynamic marketing tools.
In comparison, Givebutter offers built-in email and SMS marketing tools, advanced customization, and several modern payment methods—including Venmo, Google Pay, PayPal, and more. Additionally, Givebutter has built-in fundraising event management, unlike GivingFuel, which relies on third-party platforms RegFox and TicketSpice for event management.

While GivingFuel pricing offers a free Starter plan for smaller nonprofits, the plan is limited to basic fundraising and reporting features—and it comes at a high cost to donors, as GivingFuel charges up to 4.99% to process credit card payments. Nonprofits that want access to GivingFuel's more advanced fundraising features—like peer-to-peer fundraising tools, text-to-give, ability to accept ACH and offline payments—will have to pay more substantial monthly fees.
Givebutter users, on the other hand, pay $0/month to enjoy full access to Givebutter's robust suite of fundraising features.
