Why choose Zeffy over Frontstream and Snap! Raise if you're a nonprofit
💯
Frontstream and Snap! Raise charge fees before your mission gets funded
Frontstream charges $75/month plus 2.9% per transaction, and Snap! Raise takes 20% of everything raised. Zeffy charges zero fees so 100% of every donation goes directly to your mission.
🤝
Your donors give to your cause, not to cover platform costs
Snap! Raise asks donors to cover fees to reduce their 20% cut. Zeffy never asks donors to pay for your software — voluntary contributions support our platform, but they're completely optional.
📅
Run year-round fundraising campaigns without monthly bills or percentage cuts
Frontstream requires paid plans for full features, and Snap! Raise is built for short-term school campaigns. Zeffy gives you donation forms, events, donor management, and email tools that work all year with zero monthly fees.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Zeffy for more than just basic donations and campaigns?
Yes. Unlike platforms that focus on one type of fundraising, Zeffy gives you everything: auctions, raffles, memberships, event ticketing, and a full donor CRM. All fee-free, all in one place.
What if I need different payment options for my donors?
Zeffy accepts credit cards, ACH bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with zero fees. Plus, our Tap to Pay app lets your team collect donations in-person from any phone.
Can I really run all my fundraising without paying monthly fees or platform cuts?
Yes. Zeffy gives you donation forms, event ticketing, donor management, email tools, and more with zero monthly fees and zero platform costs. Unlike all-in-one platforms that charge $75/month plus transaction fees or take 20% cuts, you keep 100% of every donation.
What happens if I need help setting up campaigns or managing donors?
You get free, unlimited support from nonprofit fundraising experts. No tiered plans or extra fees. Unlike platforms that gate phone support behind paid plans, Zeffy offers live chat, email, and phone support to every organization.
How does Zeffy make money if there are no fees for nonprofits?
Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform at checkout, but it's completely optional. 100% of every donation always goes to your organization — we never take a cut like other platforms.
