Why choose Zeffy over Crowdchange and OneCause if you're a nonprofit
💸
Crowdchange and OneCause take a cut before you raise a dollar
Crowdchange charges 6% plus processing fees on every donation. OneCause requires $2,995 upfront plus 5% platform fees. Zeffy is 100% free, so every dollar raised goes directly to your mission.
🤝
Your donors give 100%, your platform should too
Crowdchange and OneCause charge platform fees that shrink your fundraising before it even starts. Zeffy covers all transaction costs so your donors' full contributions support your work, not software companies.
🧰
Built for nonprofits who need everything, not just events
Crowdchange lacks donor management and year-round tools. OneCause is built for big galas, not everyday fundraising. Zeffy gives you donations, memberships, ticketing, CRM, and email in one place with zero fees.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run all my fundraising activities without paying platform fees?
Yes. Zeffy gives you donations, events, peer-to-peer campaigns, auctions, raffles, and memberships all in one place with zero fees. While Crowdchange takes 6% and OneCause charges thousands upfront, you keep 100% of every dollar raised.
Do I need to pay extra to access donor management and email tools?
No. Zeffy includes full donor tracking, automated receipts, and unlimited email campaigns at no cost. Both competitors charge for advanced features or limit functionality on basic plans.
Can I get real support without paying enterprise fees?
Absolutely. Zeffy offers free live chat, email, and phone support to every nonprofit. OneCause reserves priority support for enterprise customers, while Crowdchange offers limited nonprofit-focused help.
Can I manage memberships and sell merchandise without paying extra fees?
Yes. Zeffy includes membership management and online store features at no cost. Crowdchange lacks membership tools, and OneCause focuses only on events, not ongoing member relationships or product sales.
Will I get stuck with limited payment options that hurt my fundraising?
No. Zeffy accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH transfers, and in-person payments with zero fees. Crowdchange only takes cards online, while OneCause limits in-person tools to events only.
