Why choose Zeffy over JustGiving and Qgiv if you're a nonprofit
💯
Keep 100% of every donation, not 95%
JustGiving takes 5% off the top, and Qgiv charges 3.95% plus monthly fees starting at $40. Zeffy is 100% free, so your supporters' full gifts go to your mission instead of platform costs.
🤝
Run peer-to-peer campaigns without the $259/month bill
JustGiving doesn't offer peer-to-peer tools, and Qgiv charges $259/month for team fundraising. Zeffy includes peer-to-peer campaigns at no cost, so you can launch walkathons and team challenges without budgeting for software.
📱
Accept ACH transfers and in-person payments without extra hardware
JustGiving doesn't accept ACH transfers, and Qgiv requires separate hardware for in-person payments. Zeffy accepts bank transfers and lets anyone on your team take payments from their phone with no card reader or setup fees.
