Frequently asked questions
What happens when I need help setting up campaigns or troubleshooting issues?
Zeffy offers unlimited live chat, email, and phone support with real people who understand nonprofits. Both Donorbox and Mightycause limit support based on your plan tier, with slower response times and no phone support for free users.
Can I run events with auctions and raffles without juggling multiple platforms?
Yes. Zeffy includes built-in auction and raffle tools alongside event ticketing at zero cost. Donorbox and Mightycause don't offer these features, forcing you to coordinate separate platforms and pay additional fees.
How much does Zeffy actually cost compared to all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy is 100% free with zero platform fees and zero processing fees. Donorbox charges 2.95% per donation plus processing fees, while Mightycause takes 1.99% plus processing fees. On $10,000 raised, you'd lose $295+ to Donorbox or $199+ to Mightycause, but keep everything with Zeffy.
Can I run complete campaigns without upgrading to paid plans or adding third-party tools?
Yes. Zeffy includes donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing, auctions, raffles, online stores, and donor CRM all in one platform at no cost. Other all-in-one platforms lock key features behind paid plans or require separate tools for auctions and raffles.
Do I need to ask donors to cover fees or worry about complicated pricing?
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.
