3 reasons nonprofits choose Givebutter over DonorPerfect

Raise more

Like Givebutter, DonorPerfect offers a variety of robust features and support for nonprofits. But in addition to being free, Givebutter’s tools give donors more options, like paying with digital wallets like Apple Pay or even donor-advised funds.

Pay less

DonorPerfect processing fees, monthly cost, and platform fees are dependent on the features you use and the number of donor records your nonprofit needs. All of Givebutter’s fundraising features are free, no matter how many donors are in your database.

Give better

You can’t argue with the numbers. DonorPerfect ranks highly for user satisfaction, but not as high as Givebutter. Plus, all of Givebutter’s customer support services are free—you’ll never have to pay a dollar more.

Why pay anything when you can pay nothing?

With no free plan available, DonorPerfect pricing is tiered based on the number of contacts in your database. And processing fees aren’t the only additional costs—nonprofits can add on specific features, integrations, and support services for additional monthly fees.

Hear from a real nonprofit that switched from DonorPerfect to Givebutter

DonorPerfect was already expensive for us because we are a small nonprofit. The features that I needed to sell event tickets for our annual fundraiser were extra and we couldn't afford it. We made due, but then we were notified that they were increasing the price! So I canceled immediately and started shopping around. Givebutter does everything that I need it to. I can process donations for our ongoing donation page and for specific events like Giving Tuesday. I am also able to use it for our annual fundraiser by selling vendor booths & tickets. And all of this for free. It's perfect!
