Donorbox and Goodhub charge fees on every donation — Zeffy doesn't
Donorbox takes 2.95% per donation and Goodhub charges 1.9% + 20p. Zeffy covers all processing fees so you keep 100% of what supporters give — no cuts, no fine print, no fees ever.
🤝
Your donors give to your mission, not to cover platform costs
Donorbox asks donors to calculate fees at checkout and Goodhub requires account creation for bank transfers. Zeffy never charges your supporters or your nonprofit, so giving feels simple and trustworthy from start to finish.
🚀
Launch campaigns in minutes without worrying about what features cost extra
Donorbox locks peer-to-peer and advanced tools behind paid plans starting at $150/month, and Goodhub requires upgrades for full raffle and auction access. Zeffy gives you donations, events, memberships, raffles, auctions, and CRM tools right away — no paywalls, no add-ons, no surprises.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Zeffy actually cost compared to all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy is 100% free with no platform fees, processing fees, or monthly costs. Donorbox charges 2.95% per donation plus processing fees. Goodhub takes 1.9% + 20p per donation. On $10,000 raised, you'd lose $295 to Donorbox or $210 to Goodhub but keep everything with Zeffy.
Can I access all fundraising tools without upgrading to paid plans?
Yes. Zeffy gives you donation forms, event ticketing, peer-to-peer campaigns, raffles, auctions, and donor CRM right away. Other all-in-one platforms lock key features behind paid plans or require expensive add-ons to access everything you need.
Do I need to ask my donors to cover fees or create accounts?
No. Zeffy never charges your nonprofit or your donors. Donors can leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform, but giving stays simple without fee calculations or account creation requirements that other platforms impose.
Why do all-in-one platforms charge fees when Zeffy doesn't?
Most all-in-one platforms take a cut to fund their business. Zeffy works differently — donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform, so we never charge nonprofits or take fees from donations.
Can I run events and sell tickets without paying platform fees?
Yes. Zeffy includes event ticketing, check-in tools, and payment processing with zero fees. Other all-in-one platforms charge 2-3% per ticket plus processing fees, which adds up fast for fundraising events.
