Additional Details

Givebutter is completely free thanks to 100% optional tips received from donors. If you'd prefer to hide tips, an industry-low Platform Fee applies instead based on the campaign type you’re using (1% for donation form, 3% for fundraising pages, and 5% for events). No matter which option you choose, all transactions include standard Processing Fees of 2.9% + 30¢ for all payment methods except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. These fees are charged by payment processors and allow funds to be deposited into your account regardless of what payment method your donors choose. More than 95% of donors on Givebutter cover fees when asked, resulting in an average campaign fee of less than 1%.

Pricing for all three packages includes implementation. Transactions with Neon Pay are 2.75%, and processing fees are 2.99% + $0.30. Opting for a third party processor incurs a 1% increase in transaction fees across all packages. Campaign Package: Best for small organizations that want to provide a great peer-to-peer experience for one campaign at a time. Premier Package: The right choice for organizations that need to run multiple campaigns simultaneously to engage even more supporters. Elite Package: For organizations that process more than $500,000 a year or have special needs for features like a bi-directional Salesforce sync.

User Testimonials
	Givebutter	Neon Fundraise
Likelihood to Recommend	Givebutter The site has built-in flexibility for fundraising shops of all sizes to use it for various needs - we used it for a special event but it could also be used to handle a Day of Giving campaign. We liked that donors could use the built-in social/email features to advertise their support to gain additional donations Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Neon One, LLC Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound) is well suited to third-party fundraising. We use it for our walk fundraiser, and we enjoy the level of interactivity and customization it offers our constituents. It also makes donation entry and reporting fairly easy, so it would be well suited for operations with vast numbers of donations in cash, check, and credit. It might be less suited to events with a handful of large donations from corporate benefactors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Givebutter Flexibility in using the platform for multiple fundraising sources (events, direction donations, etc.) Ease of Use Ability to customize your site Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Neon One, LLC Rallybound is able to have websites that are user-friendly to our participants. Our participants are able to navigate through their profiles with ease. With our participants able to easily navigate their pages, the staff is able to spend less time asking questions and instead coach their fundraising efforts. Rallybound is able to customize your website to your needs, for a fee of course. Rallybound is also able to customize certain reports for you if that specific report has not already been created. This is essential for my team when pulling revenue numbers or projecting future revenue/budgets. Rallybound's customer service is quick to respond and helps navigate issues. This is crucial when you are on-site at an event trying to solve a problem. Rallybound allows you to check-in individuals based off of the registration on their website. Their check-in is so simple and easy to use. Incentivized Danielle Armour Development Manager- Corporate Partnerships Read full review
Cons	Givebutter Link to payment sources/systems (we had to do this multiple times before it worked) Integration with larger donor management software systems (i.e. Blackbaud) Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Neon One, LLC Communication around new features and updates could be better. Ticketed event pages could have more custom options. Incentivized Jessica Martin Chief Operating Officer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Givebutter Givebutter provides more flexibility in designing your campaign or event on the site ...others are more suited for only a Gala or auction and Race Roster was more than we needed and was confusing to our guests Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Neon One, LLC I was not a part of the evaluation process when Rallybound was selected. Classy was one of our top three choices, however, when we decided to eventually go with Rallybound. I do know that my team continues to look for the best platform to use, and Classy is always discussed. Incentivized Danielle Armour Development Manager- Corporate Partnerships Read full review
Return on Investment	Givebutter Best registration tool we have used for the NUN Run event Allowed registrants to cover the fees reducing our overall event expenses Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review	Neon One, LLC Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound) has reduced the staff burden of data entry by making more available to secondary admins and users. Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound) has improved the quality of the analysis of data from our walks. We have been able to surpass our expectations for peer-to-peer fundraising in a year affected by the pandemic. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
