Crowdfundr vs FundRazr Comparison 2026
Crowdfundr runs reward campaigns for a product or a creative project, at a published 5 percent platform fee on top of processing. FundRazr is built for memorials, medical costs and community causes, and its Optional Tips mode leaves the organiser with only the payment processing cut, since donors are asked for a tip instead of a cut of what was raised. One is for a launch with pledge rewards. The other is for a cause with no reward to send back.

Crowdfundr
Crowdfunding built to leave creators the money
Crowdfundr runs reward and donation campaigns with the platform fee presented as optional to the supporter rather than deducted from the creator, and the company publishes what that works out to in practice. Campaigns are free to start and there is no all-or-nothing rule forcing a goal. The comparison table on its own pricing page names Kickstarter and BackerKit and states their fees beside its own. Discovery is thin, so bring your own audience.
Our note
Compare this against Kickstarter on the assumption that nobody covers your fees, and then treat anything supporters do cover as upside. The absence of an all-or-nothing rule is the bigger practical difference for a creator funding a project that can ship at a smaller scale.
FundRazr
Crowdfunding that charges the donor, not you
FundRazr runs a campaign page with no monthly cost, and pays for itself either by asking your donors for an optional tip or by asking them to cover the platform fee. Both choices are yours and you can switch mid-campaign. It leans toward memorials, medical costs and community causes rather than product launches.
Why people weigh these two
- FundRazr instead of Crowdfundr
- FundRazr runs on the same fee idea, charging the donor rather than you, so what supporters give arrives intact.
- Crowdfundr instead of FundRazr
- Crowdfundr is another low-fee option, crowdfunding built to leave creators the money.
Which one should you pick
Pick Crowdfundr if you are funding a product, a film or anything with reward tiers, and you have an audience to bring with you, since its own discovery is thin. The 5 percent fee is the number to plan around, whatever fraction supporters choose to cover.
Pick FundRazr for a memorial, a medical bill or a community cause where reward tiers make no sense. Its Optional Tips mode charges the organiser only payment processing at 2.9 percent plus 30 cents, cheaper than Crowdfundr's flat platform fee. Fee Recovery asks donors to cover the platform cut instead, and the page reports that 85 to 95 percent of them do.
Common questions
- Is FundRazr cheaper than Crowdfundr?
- Under its Optional Tips mode, yes: FundRazr only takes payment processing at 2.9 percent plus 30 cents, and asks donors for a separate tip instead of a cut of the campaign. Crowdfundr's honest planning number is a 5 percent platform fee on top of its own processing cost, whether or not supporters choose to cover it.
- Does FundRazr have an all-or-nothing rule like some crowdfunding sites?
- No. Neither does Crowdfundr. Both let an organiser keep whatever was raised, even short of a goal, which suits a cause or a project that can still use a partial total.
- Which one is built for a product launch with pledge rewards?
- Crowdfundr. It is shaped around reward tiers tied to pledge levels, the format a backer expects from a creator's campaign. FundRazr leans toward memorial, medical and community templates instead, without that reward structure.
- Can I switch how FundRazr charges fees after a campaign starts?
- Yes. FundRazr lets you change between Optional Tips and Fee Recovery mid campaign from the Funding and Deadline tab, rather than starting the page over. Crowdfundr does not offer that choice: its 5 percent platform fee applies the same way throughout.
