Why choose Zeffy over Enthuse and Blackbaud if you're a nonprofit
🎟️
Enthuse and Blackbaud charge fees on every raffle ticket sold
Enthuse locks raffles behind paid plans and charges 1.9% + 20p per ticket. Blackbaud requires third-party tools or manual workarounds. Zeffy includes compliant raffle tools at zero cost, so your 50/50 draw or basket raffle raises money for your mission instead of paying platform fees.
🚀
Launch your raffle in minutes, not after months of setup
Enthuse requires paid subscriptions to access raffle features, and Blackbaud needs technical implementation timelines. Zeffy works right away — create your raffle page, set ticket limits, track sales, and stay compliant without training or IT support.
🇺🇸
Built for US nonprofits, not UK charity rules or enterprise budgets
Enthuse is built for UK charities with support hours and compliance tools that don't match US nonprofit needs. Blackbaud requires enterprise contracts starting at $10,000+ with separate products for each tool. Zeffy gives US nonprofits everything in one platform with free support from people who understand your mission.
Frequently asked questions
Can I accept bank transfers and in-person payments without extra hardware costs?
Yes. Zeffy accepts ACH bank transfers and has a tap-to-pay app for in-person donations — all at zero cost. Enthuse only accepts cards, and Blackbaud requires hardware purchases and separate merchant account setup for in-person payments.
Will I get support that understands US nonprofit needs and regulations?
Absolutely. Zeffy provides free US-based support with live chat, email, and phone help from nonprofit experts. Enthuse operates on UK time zones with UK-focused resources, while Blackbaud reserves quality support for enterprise contracts.
How much does Zeffy actually cost compared to other all-in-one fundraising platforms?
Zeffy charges zero fees. No monthly subscription, no processing costs, no platform fees. Other all-in-one platforms charge 1.9% to 3.5% per transaction plus monthly fees up to £40. With Zeffy, 100% of what you raise stays with your organization.
Can I get all fundraising tools in one place without paying extra for each feature?
Yes. Zeffy includes donations, ticketing, peer-to-peer campaigns, raffles, auctions, CRM, and email tools at no cost. Other platforms lock these features behind paid plans or sell them as separate products.
Do I need technical support or IT staff to get started with fundraising software?
No. Zeffy works right out of the box with no implementation required. Create forms and launch campaigns in minutes. Other platforms require technical setup, training, and often paid consultants to get started.
