Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Fundraise Up
A donation checkout tuned to raise more
Fundraise Up replaces a donation form with a checkout tuned to raise the amount given: suggested upgrades, a monthly nudge, wallets and a currency the donor recognises. It charges four percent of what comes in and sells no plans at all. The company's own figure is that most donors elect to cover that cost, which is the argument for a percentage over a subscription.
Our note
Four percent on top of processing is more than a plain Stripe form costs, and the case for it is that the checkout raises more than it takes. Ask for the figures on comparable organisations before assuming that holds for your audience.
Only on this side
- Covers monetization & payments
Mightycause
Nonprofit fundraising with no monthly bill
Mightycause gives a nonprofit donation pages, peer-to-peer fundraising and event tools without a subscription, and it operates as a donor advised fund, which is what lets it handle receipting and the 501(c)(3) paperwork on the organisation's behalf. The company states an overall ceiling on what a donation costs rather than splitting platform and processing. There are no donor tip prompts. Anybody outside the United States is in the wrong place.
