Both cover monetization & payments. 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.
Raise money from a page anyone can share
GoFundMe is where a one-off ask goes when it needs to travel further than an audience already reaches. There is no platform fee on a personal fundraiser in the countries listed on its pricing page, and the company is funded by an optional tip donors choose at checkout. Card processing still comes off the top.
Only on this side
Game server monetization at a flat five percent
Tebex sells ranks, cosmetics and subscriptions to the players on a game server, and handles the billing, renewals and plan changes that a community running its own payments ends up doing by hand. The entry tier has no monthly cost and takes a flat five percent instead, so a quiet month costs nothing. Store layouts are customisable and the checkout is theirs rather than a redirect somewhere else. Anybody outside game communities is the wrong audience, because everything here assumes a server and its players.
Our note
The flat 5 percent is the number to hold against alternatives, because it does not move with volume and most competitors in this space negotiate rather than publish. Work out what the paid tier costs in your own currency before upgrading, since the page quotes it in pounds and the exchange rate is doing part of the pricing.
