Frequently asked questions
How much does Zeffy actually cost compared to other all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy is 100% free with no platform fees, processing costs, or monthly subscriptions. Other all-in-one platforms charge 2-3% per donation plus processing fees and monthly plans up to $150. With Zeffy, every dollar raised goes directly to your mission.
Can I access all fundraising tools without upgrading to a paid plan?
Yes. Zeffy gives you donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing, raffles, auctions, CRM, and email tools immediately. Other platforms lock these features behind paid plans, forcing you to upgrade just to access basic fundraising tools.
Do I need to ask my donors to cover fees at checkout?
No. Zeffy never charges your nonprofit or your donors. Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform, but giving stays simple and transparent without fee calculations at checkout.
Can I run events and sell tickets without paying extra fees?
Yes. Zeffy includes event ticketing, check-in tools, and sales tracking at zero cost. Donorbox and Enthuse charge monthly fees to access ticketing features, so you pay before you even sell a single ticket.
Will I get help when I need it most during busy fundraising seasons?
Absolutely. Zeffy offers live chat, email, and phone support year-round with real people who understand nonprofits. Other platforms slow down during peak seasons when you need help most.
