Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between DonorSnap and DonorPerfect?
DonorSnap is a straightforward, lower-cost donor database (plans from $50/month) that processes payments through a connected Stripe account. DonorPerfect is a more established CRM (Core plan from $99/month) with a broader feature set and add-on integrations like Givecloud and DPMobile. Both handle donor tracking well, but both lean on paid add-ons or third-party tools for events, payments, and online fundraising.
How much do DonorSnap and DonorPerfect cost?
DonorSnap starts at $50/month for up to 1,000 contacts, plus a one-time $200 setup fee; card processing runs through Stripe at 2.2% + $0.30, with no separate DonorSnap surcharge. DonorPerfect's Core plan is $99/month, with Plus and Pro tiers quoted on request, and processing fees apply through its integrations, though rates aren't publicly listed. If keeping 100% of donations matters, Zeffy offers donor management at no cost.
Which is better for a small nonprofit, DonorSnap or DonorPerfect?
DonorSnap tends to suit smaller teams and tighter budgets thanks to its lower entry price and simpler interface. DonorPerfect fits organizations that want a deeper CRM with personalized onboarding and are comfortable with a higher monthly cost. Both add processing and add-on fees as you grow, so weigh total cost rather than just the base plan.
Do DonorSnap and DonorPerfect handle events, auctions, and online stores?
Not fully on their own. DonorSnap offers events through EventSnap and auctions through AuctionSnap, both separate paid products, and doesn't include an online store. DonorPerfect covers online stores and digital wallets through the Givecloud add-on and raffles through its forms, but doesn't include built-in auction tools. Zeffy includes ticketing, auctions, raffles, and an online store built in, at no extra cost.
Is there a free alternative to DonorSnap and DonorPerfect?
Yes. Zeffy is a completely free platform for nonprofits, with donor management, donation forms, events, and more at zero platform or transaction fees. You keep 100% of every donation, and donors can choose to leave a voluntary contribution to support Zeffy.
