Both cover crowdfunding and tips & donations. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

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.
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.
Our note
The honest comparison here is Zeffy, which charges nothing at all and covers the card fees too. FundRazr is the better answer if you are not a registered nonprofit, which is what Zeffy asks for at signup.
Only on this side
Donation pages that start without a subscription
Kindest gives a nonprofit donation forms, recurring giving and donor records on a free plan that takes a percentage instead of a monthly fee, and waives even that on the first fifty thousand dollars of a first year. The paid tier lowers the percentage and adds text campaigns and scheduled time with a person. Forms default to asking the donor to cover fees. Everything here assumes a registered charity rather than an individual.

Our note
Work out where 1.25 percentage points saves more than $1,800 a year, which is around $144,000 of annual donations, and pick the plan on that rather than on the feature list. Below that number the free plan is the right answer even once the waiver runs out.
