Why choose Zeffy over Crowdchange and Blackbaud if you're a nonprofit
💸
Crowdchange and Blackbaud charge fees on every donation — Zeffy doesn't
Crowdchange takes 6% plus card fees, and Blackbaud charges 3% plus monthly costs. Zeffy covers all fees so 100% of every donation goes to your mission.
🧰
Run your entire fundraising operation without paying for separate tools
Crowdchange lacks donor management and year-round tools. Blackbaud sells features separately with enterprise pricing. Zeffy gives you donations, events, CRM, email, and raffles in one free platform.
🚀
Launch campaigns in minutes, not months, with support built for small teams
Crowdchange offers limited nonprofit support. Blackbaud requires IT staff and $10,000+ contracts for full help. Zeffy works out of the box with free live chat, email, and phone support for every organization.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Zeffy cost compared to other all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy is 100% free with no platform fees, monthly charges, or processing fees. Other all-in-one platforms charge 3-6% plus processing fees on every donation. With Zeffy, donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to keep the platform free for nonprofits.
Can I get all fundraising tools in one place without paying for multiple products?
Yes. Zeffy includes donations, events, peer-to-peer campaigns, auctions, raffles, memberships, and donor management in one platform at zero cost. Other platforms sell these as separate products or require enterprise contracts to access everything.
Do I need technical support or IT staff to use an all-in-one fundraising platform?
Not with Zeffy. Create campaigns in under 30 minutes with no training required. Other all-in-one platforms require technical setup, implementation timelines, and often paid consultants to get started properly.
Can I run year-round fundraising campaigns without paying for premium features?
Yes. Zeffy includes auctions, raffles, memberships, and online stores at zero cost. Crowdchange lacks auction tools entirely and locks raffles behind paid tiers. Blackbaud requires separate enterprise products for full functionality.
Do I need to choose between payment options and affordability?
Not with Zeffy. Accept credit cards, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with zero fees. Crowdchange only offers card payments with 6% fees. Blackbaud requires their merchant services with setup costs and hardware purchases.
