Considered Both Products	GoFundMe Pro Verified User Employee Chose GoFundMe Pro I am still relatively new to my organization, and we were already set up with Classy before I got here. However, I know that they explored many other options, and Classy was chosen unanimously. We find it so helpful to have regular calls with a Classy representative, as it's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose GoFundMe Pro We decided to move from iATS Payments to Classy for a couple of reasons. The 3 biggest reasons were the variety of payment options for donors, the self-service donation portal, and the breadth of donation page/campaign templates. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose GoFundMe Pro I have not used any other platforms like Classy. Given I came into this organization after Classy was already chosen, I was pleased with how easy it was to learn the platform and how user-friendly the entire thing is. Although I haven't used any other platforms like it, I would … Helpful? Rachel Carey Development Manager Chose GoFundMe Pro In the past, we used Click and Pledge which was super customizable (if you knew how to code) and pretty simple. It was lacking in the peer-to-peer/crowdfunding areas and was TERRIBLE on the support side, which we realized we needed fairly often. Classy was more expensive but … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose GoFundMe Pro N/A Incentivized Helpful? DO Diana O'Brien Director of Development and Community Engagement Chose GoFundMe Pro N/A Incentivized Helpful? AN Andrew Noerr Development Officer Chose GoFundMe Pro We feel that Classy is superior to other options, but I also must admit that we're a small non-profit, so we haven't used a lot of other services at this time. Nevertheless, we highly recommend Classy for a wide range of purposes in the non-profit realm. It surely stacks well … Incentivized Helpful? CH Casey Husseman Account Manager Chose GoFundMe Pro I wish we hadn't chosen Classy. We decided not to go forward with them for our next digital fundraiser. Helpful? Nick Shoff Founder and Executive Director Chose GoFundMe Pro CrowdRise has been better overall for us. They are both very similar, but CrowdRise was cheaper for our needs and integrated with more of the other software that we used. You can't go wrong with either, but we prefer CrowdRise over Classy. However, Classy has more expertise and … Incentivized Helpful? Cindy Hollister Development Director Chose GoFundMe Pro We left TeamRaiser to go to Classy. With everything, there are tradeoffs. TeamRaiser is more feature rich, but harder to use. Incentivized Helpful? SH Shannon Hill Development Associate Chose GoFundMe Pro Much more user friendly and quite a bit more options Incentivized Helpful? Emily Westergaard Executive Director Chose GoFundMe Pro Classy is light-years ahead of DonorPerfect when it comes to creating customized pages for fundraising. DP's system was archaic and always looked like a 1990's MySpace page. Classy looks relevant and conveys more trust for our donors. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose GoFundMe Pro Classy is easier to use because it's simple and streamlined. Everything is in one place and easy to access (and well-designed!). You can easily export all donor information from each campaign whenever you choose, and the system automatically sends thank you emails so you don't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose GoFundMe Pro Classy is much better than Eventbrite but is far behind Cvent in terms of an event platform. Classy is mainly for peer to peer, but they rolled out an event function that works okay but is missing some key features, like the ability to send an invitation out through the … Incentivized Helpful? JM Joel Miller Director of Development Chose GoFundMe Pro Had all the functions at a price we liked. Helpful? Dave Aabo CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose GoFundMe Pro I like to give users the choice in which fundraising platform most resonates with them. Incentivized Helpful? LS Lauren Sapp Director of Annual Giving Chose GoFundMe Pro We had a custom site built for our online giving and event registration and we could not build what we needed. Classy knew what we needed when we didn't even know it. Helpful? Verified User Administrative Assistant Chose GoFundMe Pro I have not used or evaluated any other products like Classy. This was the system our nonprofit was using when I was hired. We have found no reason to look to other platforms as Classy has been invaluable to us. We really value Classy, and we are not looking to switch any time … Incentivized Helpful? Ashleigh Kincaid Manager of Annual Giving Chose GoFundMe Pro We haven't found the need to look elsewhere. Incentivized Helpful? Claire Baker Director of Development Chose GoFundMe Pro We found Classy to be the best value for the money, and easiest to use. Incentivized Helpful? Brent Earwicker President Chose GoFundMe Pro I used Giving Fuel for a number of years, and while their prices are more competitive, they also don't provide the level of engagement and customer service coupled with great design and ease of use. Giving Fuel worked fine, but Classy has captured my attention and got my … Incentivized Helpful? Corinne Plummer Manager of Special Events Chose GoFundMe Pro NOTE: The platform we used prior to Classy was actually FrontStream-Firstgiving (not Panorama), but that was not listed. Classy is a much more dynamic platform, allowing us to take advantage of all that online registration and fundraising has to offer. Incentivized Helpful? Courtney Osterfelt Executive Director and Founder Chose GoFundMe Pro We haven't used any other online fundraising software. Incentivized Helpful? Monica Graffius Community Outreach Director Chose GoFundMe Pro Classy is the first and only fundraising platform we have integrated since inception. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	GoFundMe Pro
Likelihood to Recommend	GoFundMe Well suited for organizations with large fundraising programs or many recurring donors, especially those who have the staffing to devote to reporting and fundraising data analysis. Variety of payment options is good for mobile-first or younger audiences who may be taking more frequent advantage of payment methods like Venmo and Apple Pay. Most useful if it is used in tandem as an event registration/event hosting platform (Classy Event Registration or Classy Live) as attendee data and fundraising is kept in a single place. Less appropriate for smaller organizations, or folks that will not be doing crowdfunding/peer-to-peer/events. There are other platforms that do standard donation pages well that have fewer bells and whistles but are accordingly cheaper. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	GoFundMe The Classy platform is easy to use, both for the staff and our volunteer fundraisers It's easy to build a great looking fundraising page Classy support (particularly chat and phone) are attentive and responsive. Every one there is smart and nice! Incentivized Cindy Hollister Development Director Read full review
Cons	GoFundMe Campaigns lack customization options which can be limiting- while you can add code to make some changes, there is a basic framework that you can't always override. Slow to roll out some donor payment options like Venmo. Not inexpensive price point and on an annual contract, so the software is definitely an investment. Incentivized KB Katie Bradley Development Officer Read full review
Usability	GoFundMe VERY easy to use, but lacks flexibility. But very easy to learn and master, even for someone with technical skills. They offer live chat which is a great help for on-demand support. At higher call volumes, you may wait 10 minutes, but I’ve never waited for more than that and the support if 90% of the time very helpful. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	GoFundMe Classy's team was very helpful as we transitioned over, and helped us get everything set up quite easily. The few times we've had issues or questions, their online chat feature has been a quick way to get answers. On Giving Tuesday last year, the site went down, but Classy was quick with communication to its clients and had the problem resolved in about an hour. I know that if we have any problems or questions, the company and its team will be responsive and helpful. That makes a difference to me and our small team. We don't have time to troubleshoot or stay on hold for a long time waiting for support. Incentivized Emily Westergaard Executive Director Read full review
Alternatives Considered	GoFundMe I have not used any other platforms like Classy. Given I came into this organization after Classy was already chosen, I was pleased with how easy it was to learn the platform and how user-friendly the entire thing is. Although I haven't used any other platforms like it, I would highly recommend it. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	GoFundMe This has been nothing but positive. We use the basic version so there is no fee associated with it other than a percentage of each transaction. So everything that comes in is added revenue where the only investment is staff time, but there is no monetary investment.
