Keela
Raise more
While Keela offers solid fundraising and donor management tools, the platform does not include event ticketing or auction software. Givebutter’s user-friendly platform is designed for nonprofits to have all the features they need in one place.
.svg)
Pay less
No matter how many supporters you have, Givebutter scales with you. Keela donor management comes with a price. Users with more than 250 contacts pay at least $99/month, not including add-ons for advanced features or more contact records.

Give better
Though Keela for nonprofits offers a comparable level of resources and assistance, Givebutter is one of the highest-rated fundraising platforms, with stellar customer support ratings and a robust help center to make your fundraising as smooth as butter.
Raise more
Keela software, which includes the Keela CRM, offers impressive functionality such as donor relationship tracking, reports, analytics, and SMS and email messaging. However, unlike Givebutter, the platform does not provide event or auction management capabilities. This limitation can be a drawback for organizations seeking to expand, grow, and centralize their fundraising efforts in one place.
Givebutter, on the other hand, offers a comprehensive set of features for managing fundraisers, including automatic event reminders, unlimited ticket quantities, livestreaming functionality, and more.

Keela is a pricier choice, particularly for small nonprofits. The cost of Keela's services, starting at $99/month, depends on the number of contacts a nonprofit has and the features they need. Access to all of Keela's tools can result in an increase in monthly costs. In contrast, Givebutter provides free fundraising tools with optional access to advanced features that users can test out commitment-free for 30 days.

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
In comparison to Givebutter, Keela support and user reviews do not stack up: Ratings on sites like G2 show that Givebutter is the best when it comes to ease of use, setup, and customer service. While users love Keela customer support, many report difficulty navigating the platform as well as a steep learning curve.

Givebutter knows a lot more about how small nonprofits can raise money than I do, and that shows in everything from their helpful and thoughtfully developed tools to the newsletters and guides they send out. Campaigns, analytics, and donor management functionalities are all phenomenally helpful, and we just held our first event using the site and it was just a godsend.
