Frequently asked questions
How much does Zeffy actually cost compared to all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy is 100% free with no platform fees, monthly costs, or annual subscriptions. Most all-in-one platforms charge 2.95-5% per donation plus processing fees. On $10,000 raised, you'd lose $295-$500 to fees but keep everything with Zeffy.
Can I access all fundraising features without upgrading to paid plans?
Yes. Zeffy gives you donation forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing, auctions, raffles, and donor CRM right away. Other platforms lock key features behind paid plans or require expensive add-ons to get the same 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 peer-to-peer campaigns and auctions without paying extra fees?
Yes. Zeffy includes peer-to-peer fundraising, silent auctions, raffles, and online stores at no cost. Donorbox locks peer-to-peer behind paid plans, and PTOffice has no auction tools at all.
Which platform gives me better payment options for my donors?
Zeffy accepts credit cards, ACH bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with zero fees. PTOffice only takes credit cards, and Donorbox charges 2.95% on all payment methods including ACH.
