Frequently asked questions
Can I run auctions and memberships without switching platforms?
Yes. Zeffy includes auctions, memberships, and online stores at zero cost. Both Raise 365 and GiveBetter lack auction features entirely, forcing you to use separate tools.
How much will I actually save with Zeffy's zero-fee model?
On $10,000 raised, you'd pay $800+ with Raise 365 (5% + processing fees) or $300+ with GiveBetter. Zeffy keeps that money in your mission instead.
Does Zeffy really charge zero fees for all fundraising activities?
Yes. Zeffy covers all platform and processing costs so you keep 100% of donations, ticket sales, and membership dues. Donors have the option to leave a voluntary contribution to support our platform.
