DonorSearch and Salesforce help you track donors and research prospects, but both charge fees that add up quickly. Zeffy gives you donor management, donation forms, event ticketing, and email tools — all with zero fees so you keep 100% of every donation for your mission.

Donor Search VS Salesforce

❌
Skip the fees and complexity of donor management tools

🚀
Start fundraising today without demos, custom pricing, or waiting for IT help to connect different tools together.
DonorSearch focuses on prospect research but can't process donations or manage your donor relationships day-to-day. Zeffy gives you complete donor management with zero fees on donations, plus built-in payment processing, donor communications, and relationship tracking all in one platform.
Salesforce costs $60+ per user monthly and requires expensive third-party integrations for payments and fundraising tools. Zeffy offers everything you need for donor management at zero cost, with donors having the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support the platform.

Zeffy is the fundraising platform that cuts out the fees, clears up your tech mess, and puts your cause first — so your team, even if you're a small team wearing many hats or a one-person show, can focus on what really matters.
No platform fees. No processing fees. No catch. We know it sounds too good to be true, but it's not. Every penny goes straight to your mission, while competitors take 2-3% off every donation.

Stop bouncing between MailChimp, Eventbrite, and all those spreadsheets. Now you can handle donations, ticket sales, memberships, raffles, and all your donor info in one spot.
Built for teams like yours — whether you're volunteer-led or have limited staff. Set up donation forms, sell tickets, and launch campaigns without needing a tech wizard. It's super easy, and you'll be up and running in minutes.


From QR codes on flyers to Tap-to-Pay on a phone, Zeffy makes it easy to accept donations on the go. Mobile-optimized and offline-ready, so no donor slips through the cracks.
Centralize supporter relationships, automate thank-you messages, and preserve institutional knowledge when board members rotate out.

As a startup nonprofit with only two members, and no funding (yet) we’d need something with low (or no) fees. Zeffy was a dream come true.
