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%.

User Testimonials
	Bloomerang Fundraising	Givebutter
Likelihood to Recommend	Bloomerang Qgiv is great for small businesses or large companies that are looking for a user-friendly software to use to process donations, sale items or simply use a tool for peer-to-peer fundraising. The customer is by far the best service I have ever received and the baseline data is easy to export for donor cultivation purposes Incentivized Marcus Madison Community Engagment Officer Read full review	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
Pros	Bloomerang Great donor/user interface, very appealing and intuitive Excellent reporting on transactions Strong customer service Incentivized Esther Landau, CFRE Director of Development & Corporate Communications Read full review	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
Cons	Bloomerang I don't have any suggestions here - they treated me like royalty - anything I didn't understand they walked me through and when I forgot it the next time and had to ask again - they acted like that was common - putting me at ease to call them back any and every time I need them. Incentivized GS Greg Spink Executive Director Big Brothers Big Sisters Jasper/Newton Counties Read full review	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
Support Rating	Bloomerang Customer support is amazing - they're very prompt, thoughtful in their response, and are clearly trying to help you problem solve, not just find a quick fix. Incentivized EA Emma Andelson External Affairs Assistant Read full review	Givebutter No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Bloomerang Qgiv is by far a better product. No hidden fees and the team of developers continue to make updates that are relevant to keeping the software competitive and user-friendly. Also, customer service is a 10 out of 10 when it comes to troubleshooting different software scenarios. Finally, the ability to export and import is a basic and awesome necessity. Incentivized Marcus Madison Community Engagment Officer Read full review	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
Return on Investment	Bloomerang For the price, it's a solidly positive ROI for its functionality as a credit card processor. Prior to Qgiv we used MobileCause and I think the impact of the change has been neutral. Even though the integration with Exceed Beyond isn't perfect, it's still an improvement over entering all the data by hand. Saving time is hard to calculate, but I would say it has probably dropped our donation entry time by at least 10%. Incentivized Esther Landau, CFRE Director of Development & Corporate Communications Read full review	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
